Cracked Head Gasket

b15

Yeah. I had the same issue with GM so I know how you feel. Did the other dealer diagnose it as a headgasket issue again?

mhcoss

no not yet.. I imagine they will call me today to tell me my 'bill' lmao as well as whats wrong with the car.

b15

Man what a nightmare. Hope your luck turns for the better

You are scrambling and grasping at straws instead of taking the sound advice given by some in this thread. Why didn't you just pick up the test kit I told you about? Do they not have those in Canada? You could've checked it in the auto parts store parking lot. I even posted a video of how to use it.

mhcoss

the only kit at the local napa was one that lacked the hand pump. I don't have a vacuum source sitting around in my garage so I could not perform the test.

Speedy

This kit doesn't require much vacuum if it looks like the one I posted. You could literally suck on it

Here in the states, Advanced, AutoZone, and Firestone all have them and let you borrow them. Maybe you have one of those local?

A radiator pressure tester will yield the same results. If the pressure drops after a few seconds and there are no fluid leaks to be found, it's a head gasket leak.

We have CAMVAP for those who wish to use it. It works if your truly being dicked over.

Nissan is not going to pay for the same work twice. The dealer must now correct their shoddy repair if that is what happened as we're only getting one side of the story. It sounds like the OP has burned the bridge with the dealer. Too bad. The Z is a great car.

Edit: I don't believe the OP's car is a lemon so even if we had a lemon law, it doesn't apply here, just yet.

Sounds like you are trying to put this on me somehow? I didnt burn any bridge..

Just receieved word from the new dealership. Multiple coolant leaks.. multiple oil leaks. Yeah. Why would I let such an incompetent shop touch my car again. Either way im escalating to nissan. Ill be amazed if this car ever runs trouble free lol

b15

Agreed. I wouldn't leave my car for any work at that dealer again. It's one thing when you have some minor repairs and there's a fluke, but it sounds like that dealer basically re-built an engine incorrectly. Nissan should take accountability. At the end of the day, their dealers represent them and the fact that they'd allow a franchise get away with such shoddy work is disconcerting.

Have you contacted CAMVAP? If not, why not? It doesn't cost anything.

No.. CAMVAP doens't apply to me sadly.. As an american who bought the car in America to drive in Canada while I work up here I'm in a bit of a gray zone. CAMVAP clearly says it applies to Canadian dealers.. I'll try giving them a call and maybe look into USA lemon laws as well.

Its friday boys.. time to go drink beer hit on women and forget about my car troubles

Sounds like a plan! and good luck

Sure they are. There was warranty work performed on the car by a certified dealer which did not rectify the issue. They'll pay for the work until the car is working properly, and if they want their money back, will deal with the dealer that did shoddy work (hint:nissan won't bother).
