If you want to book a head gasket repair in Manchester, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
Did you know Manchester has fewer cars per head of population than any other city in the UK? However, it has also been named one of the most dangerous places to drive, with almost 7,000 collisions in seven years. The A6 and A56 see a particularly high number of accidents. Plans for a Clean Air Zone in Greater Manchester have been scrapped, for now, so you don't have to worry about paying charges for driving in certain areas.
Driving in cities like Manchester puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Manchester for all these crucial components.
The head gasket is crucial because it prevents oil and coolant from mixing and seals the internal combustion process. It is under the most pressure of any engine gasket, and it can be expensive when it fails, so it's best to shop around.
Head gasket symptoms to look out for include white or milky oil caused by leaking coolant, white exhaust smoke, loss of power and water or a sweet smell from the exhaust. Blown head gaskets are usually caused by overheating, so keeping your coolant topped up is important. You shouldn't try to drive with a blown head gasket.
A head gasket repair is usually only a temporary fix, especially when you use sealant, and if the damage is too extensive, you may need to book a full head gasket replacement. A cylinder head repair is sometimes required if the head gasket has blown.
A head gasket specialist can advise you on the exact repair your car needs and how much it will cost. Read our complete head gasket replacement guide for more information.
