- E230 Estate 1997 P reg in Silver & Navy Chrylser PT Cruiser with all the chrome
Car has been into the mechanics today for a new shock and to check an oil leak.
He has said it is the head gasket oil leak.I'm no mechanic so does that sound like a common fault. He alos said it is not worth doing as its such an expensive and time consuming job. £5-600 ?
Just keep an eye on the level but it will lose minimal oil. The most annoying thing is the small oil spots on the drive.
The car is a 1997 P reg E230 estate Auto. Just bought it so not sure what w it is as I am not up to speed on all the Merc talk yet !
Cheers
