Located in San Diego 92120.
Just spent way too much on my other cars head gasket job. Think I might have done it to the XJ now..
Pulled into work this morning with the overheating light on, turned off the heep in my parking lot and heard a loud pop then smoke. I jumped out and looked under and coolant was going everywhere, couldn't really tell where from exactly but I'm assuming its a rad hose from back pressure due to air letting into the head... just like my friggin' Subaru.
Assuming it is the head gasket, I would be willing to even do it myself if someone knowledgeable is able to lend a hand.
Would it be worth trying to replace the thermostat and see if that is the issue or should I just pay to have it diagnosed? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
