HEAD GASKET ; How long to replace it ( hours ) ? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 09-05-2010, 01:26 PM

Just to clear up something, we brought the car in Thursday night and originally was told it would be done either Friday late in the day or Saturday. Now it will be done hopefully late tuesday because they are open until 8 pm Mon thru Sat. The yaris has 23750 miles on it. I spoke with the service manager yesterday and he said they will be sending the head gasket to Toyota for inspection. Since some of you have crappy attitudes wlithout knowing all of the details, we will no longer do anymore updates. We were only trying to help those who may have the same problem. So if anyone else has this problem they will not know what to expect. It's stressful enough without being ridiculed by some of you here. Don't forget we have a 2010 3-door (< 11000 mis ) with the same problem. This is about $28000 between the two cars, which for us doesn't grow on trees. I'm quite sure if it was your two yaris, you would feel the same. So don't judge us unless you are in our shoes.

We did go there earlier while they are closed and found the car parked outdoors within the fenced in lot ( No Trespassing ) . Got a picture of it from the back . Couldn't get 1 of the front . But you can tell the hood is closed . Spoke to service manager at about 7 P.M. SATURDAY and said they needed more time until late TUESDAY evening ( close at 8 P.M. ) to get it completed . We find it a bit odd . Hopefully they haven't put the car out with the head removed . Maybe never actually started the job , after saying they did sometime during FRIDAY . Maybe they did some damage to the front end that can't be seen and need to bring it into the body shop or ordered parts for replacement that may have been damaged . Thus need more time to repair their error(s) before we pick it up . There are many scenarios to be thought of . Wonder how we could catch them in a lie of the car being in the shop the whole weekend ? Call us paranoid or worse , but something is amiss .
Don't forget the service manager said they were sending the head gasket to Toyota for inspection, so that tells us that it has been removed already.

You're likely to blow a head gasket yourself if you don't stop worring so much.

I left yaris forums a short while ago, but only came back to say this to you:

How did the 'I am gonna fix the leak by changing my oil' go ?

not so well, did it ?

Now, the dealership it screwing with you ? LOLZ

too late for that .

Here's the head gasket fix , http://www.etimago.com/yaris/repairm...Mechanical.pdf . Starts at page 60 (EM-57) . Plenty to be concerned about .

Hershey,

You sound like a patsy. Calm down and grow some balls. I hope you car is repaired correctly and that you don't lose any friends or piss off your family with tantrums during this conundrum .

mc1200s · 09-07-2010, 02:15 PM

Sorry about being harsh with my first post, but I frequent these boards often, just never sign in and this thread was to good to pass up. I apologize, but I had to.

Whatever floats your boat .

Hershey · 09-08-2010, 12:57 AM

Got the car back , but we'll have to pass on the outcome . Would only get ridiculed more . Someone always has to screw it up for others .

Oh yah like I just cant wait to hear how that went your probably going to talk about how you started your period and cried under the service manager desk.

Hershey · 09-08-2010, 01:48 AM

Last , there's nothing like a good YANKEE pot roast to put some HAIR on your BALLS .

vwtech · 09-08-2010, 08:37 PM

not to mention how unsafe a yaris is I bet you this thing crumples like a tin can in a wreck. All the reliability doesnt matter if your leg is sticking out of your back.

firemachine69 · 09-09-2010, 04:07 AM

OP:

To your original question, that would make sense. A DOHC motor tear-down is a BIG job, especially with an interference-design engine like ours. Timing off = engine go boom.

Guys, keep it civil in here, please

I don't want to have to come back and keep deleting posts now, everybody chill and try to be nice to each other
