denniswright1 Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 2001 v70 t5 Blew a heater hose line , replaced it and now I think head gasket or something else bad wrong blows everything right out the muffler. Why would this both happen at same time or does anyone have any other scenario it may be? Is head gasket difficult to replace? Or expensive?

DAYWALKER Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 if you are still losing coolant and can see it out the exhaust then you probably have a blown head gasket,crack head, or block. how long did you drive it while it was overheating?

wizzard_al Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 What often happens with these cars is that the heater core inside the car starts to leak, and then the engine gets low on coolant, and overheats and blows the headgasket. Not the hardest job to replace head gasket, just need the special tool to time the cams when you put the head back on. Heater core is a pain in the rear to replace, but before you decide to do it, check under the mats in the car, and see if it is wet, or smells like antifreeze. If it is wet or smells, then you probalby have your culprit. So you then need to replace the heater core and the head gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCP Euro Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sounds like the head gasket to me. Are you sure it isn't leaking anymore coolant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car never overheated. I drove about 10 miles but it was 15 degrees out that evening and the temp guage did not spike much at all.What often happens with these cars is that the heater core inside the car starts to leak, and then the engine gets low on coolant, and overheats and blows the headgasket.

When I take off the radiator cap it has tons of blow back coming thru the tank.. once I put cap on and tighten it up it instantly starts oroducing a huge fog out the exhaust then tank is empty again. thanks for your reply.
