Hey I need to figure out my overheating issue. It was leaking oil and coolent a couple of months back and I sucpected and was right, head gasket needed to replaced. I went to nissan who confirmed this sucspesion and was told that it would cost $2200 to replace them. I thought they were mad! Since i didn't have the money I went and tried to fix it and poured some K&W head gasket sealer into the radiatior......It didn't work and in fact I have no heater know and it overheats after driving for about and hour or so. Let me tell you that the other day it was 10 degress out and I had nooo heat. That was the last straw! I found another place that Seemed to be reasonable and I personally thought being a mom and pop shop that worked on Jap cars would charge less than nissan and nope. $3500 to replace them! I told them that was apsolute Bulls#$%! They told me it would be better to replace the engine... ha yeah right! So look I know how things work on this car but my problem is that trying to disassemble the xterras engine is like trying to figure out the mystere of the universe. If i am not mistaken the repair should cost $1600 ish (correct me if I am wrong) I just need to find someone that can help me. I need my x back and if i don't repair it my dads donating it... I would like to know my possible solutions to getting it back on the road. I donn't mind waiting the next two months out with the head gasket blown but I need it to work till school ends. Currently it sits in my garage and hasn't move since any suggestions?
