HELP.Valve gone and stuck abroad!
Hi all,
My 03 wrx was firing on 3 cylinders and after the usual checks, spark, injectors a mechanic tells me it's a valve problem. He tells me the nearest Subaru garage want €300 for the head gasket kit but not included is the cost of the valve or valves. Labour around €700 I'm stuck in Sicily and desperate. Can anyone help so that I can puchase what I need from the UK, to possibly save some cash instead of buying here, to solve this problem. You guys are my only hope. Thanks ps. stiucking to weston-super-mare for my hols next time! |

mates car got recovered from lemans when alternator packed up, sounds like it def is a policy thing.

On mine it specifies that the recovery shall not cost more than the car is worth.
Recovery from Sicily would run to thousands of £££. Anyway, the headgasket set looks about right, as does the labour, what are they wanting for a valve? By the time you've bought the bits here, shipped them over and the extra time, you're maybe going to be MORE out of pocket......:( |
