$1300 is what i was quoted
i just swapped the engine and trans out of my written off vl, came up to 500 bucks or something for the swap

are you sure its making a thick shake and its not condensation in the air causing a little foam in the cap

Just give it a good flush mate. Re-bleed your system and hope for the best.

if you want to try your luck, drain the system like bax said and chuck a stop leak cube or chemiweld in.
could give you a little more time to save before it eventually lets go

when mine went i only could get the car to idle with a hose shooting water thought the radiator, it was flowing out the exhaust just as quick
