Subject:Head gasket leak options
From:Steve Macaulay

Hi there,

My 89 Westy with 60k miles has started to leak at the right head gasket.
I'm getting ready to get it replaced and I had a few questions I was hoping
for some feedback on before it goes off to a non-dealer VW mechanic.

1.      Is there any recommended preventive maintenance in the same general area
that I should also have done while the gasket is being replaced?

2.      Should I go ahead and get the left head gasket replaced also (it's not
leaking yet)?

3.      What should I expect to pay for this?

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Steve

89 Westy
