Could of saved two weeks, just saying dude.
Man, what are you on about? Seems like you've been skipping around and not reading the posts.
It was just confirmed blown 2 nights ago when it started overheating at idle and I retested with block fluid which promptly turned yellow.
Before that we had done the block test which stayed blue, and a coolant pressure test, which it also passed.
75 posts, 4 pages. I'd tend to agree but we all try'n avoid the worse/inevitable, no?
Read above as well, the car passed the block fluid test and coolant pressure test before developing more symptoms 2 days ago.
I suspect the head gasket was failing slightly before completely blowing as it is now.
The original symptom was a closed tstat due to an air pocket, which could have either been from compression leaking into to the coolant, or just an improper fill/bleed on the coolant system.
One thing is for sure, its 100% blown now
