Car Forum / GMC Cars / May 2008Head gasket as well '02 Malibu 3100 Engine
I recently brought my '02 Malibu 3100 Engine with 52000 miles into the shop for a bad antifreeze leak. I thought it was the intake manifold gasket. I had the leak as well as brown sludge on the Antifreeze Bottle cap. The original Job for the Manifold gasket was priced at around $500. Now its a $1200 job because of the head gasket as well. Is there a way to get some of that money back form GM? Does someone have a phone Number in the greater united states that I could beg/bargain with?

That is about the only answer. >> It seems that the Dexcool Class action isnt paying much for 6th year and >> 7th year repairs. $100 and $50 respectively.

That was a crazy price to pay. Hopefully the OP neglected to mention that the $1200 was for multiple cars.

Here in Ontario, when my sister's 2001 Montana's gasket went last year (well over 200,000 KM's), every GM dealership I contacted wanted between $2000 and $2700. We eventually had it done at an independent (but trusted) shop for $1100.

If you buy your own plenum and gaskets, from FLAPS like NAPA, and do it yourself, you should be able to get by for maybe US$300-400, I would estimate. > It seems that the Dexcool Class action isnt paying much for 6th year and 7th > year repairs. $100 and $50 respectively.

Many of said folks ended up in the Never Again Club. >> It seems that the Dexcool Class action isnt paying much for 6th year and >> 7th year repairs. $100 and $50 respectively.

I for one would love to own a vehicle built by the company who has the most recalls every year.
