| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I noticed coolant in reservoir was disappearing with no visible exterior leaking. i filled it and watched it carefully over the next couple days. within 20 miles i had used 2 quarts of coolant and then my ses light came on. i immediately took my car to the local repair shop. the mechanic checked it out and determined that no. 6 cylinder was taking in coolant. after removing the intake plenim he found a hole burned through the coolant jacket by the egr valve. hopefully, my engine is o.k. but seems to have lost some mileage. this is obviously a defective part and i should be reimbursed. my total bill came to only $382.00 including the new plenim and gasket. (labor in town is a bargain). i have the old part and will provide it if requested.*ak |
