how much to repair a head gasket on a r reg ford fiesta?

by admin on March 2, 2011

not sure if being ripped of by my garage as i’m a woman with no knowledge of cars. how much roughly does it cost to repair a head gasket on a r reg ford fiesta

It depends on if you really blew it or if you just popped a seal, if you just poped a seal, then If you take it to a mechanic should only be around 100 bucks or less depending on what the mechanic charges by the hour. If its blown and no good anymore, the part must be replaced and would cost roughly $300+. Thats what it would be roughly on my ford explorer, not totally sure ont that car though

can be expensive. if it is the gasket that has blown, the cylinder head may need skimming which means it has to go to an engineering shop, then new head gasket set., plus labour, plus new cylinder head bolts, plus VAT, about £4/500.
