the head gasket has gone on the turbo, tbh I was waiting for something to go on it, it always does lol nothing spectacular just driving normally when it started to missfire, have been losing water consistantly over the last few weeks, checked compression 11bar 10.5bar 4bar 4bar

Unlucky mate

Bloody hell Andy, always something isn't it?...Still the head gasket is a simple fix. Is it a std one on there? Get yaself a steel one, cheap insurance. Simples !!

Happened to me after 2 months, and shelling £2400 for my turbo, cheap enough diy fix,Il second on the steel gasket though.

thats a shame mate ,hope you get it fixed

never good news

was thinking of getting the Z20LET one

New gasket and it'll be good as new.

How much is the ZLET one? Standard gasket should be fine really

Z20 gasket is cheaper than the C20 Andy, and a better gasket too.

s**t mate hope you get it sorted soon

lol it will have to wait now got other things to build atm.............

unlucky there Andy, hope you get it sorted

you can get a Z20LET h/g for £20 off flee-bay

so what your driving now as thats the Turbo and the Ecotec...guess that V6 has come in handy, mind you with the luck your having I would be hoping that is sold soon
