G’day all,
Posting an update and looking for a bit of advice.
My vs ute has been running poorly and misfiring badly after having gotten hot roughly a week ago.
Mechanic has had a quick look and says there’s radiator fluid in cylinders 1,3 and 5 (v6 ecotec 3.8). He’s not able to fix it til next week, snowed under with Christmas/New Years. Says it’s looking like an intake manifold gasket has busted, not the head gasket, as the oil is fine, no traces of milkiness.
Any ideas what kind of price I might be looking at? This isn’t my usual mechanic, he’s gone on holidays.
Is there likely to be any further damage to my engine from this occurring?
