i have some white exhaust, rough idle, and im losing coolant. i think it needs a new head gasket, whats the jag dealer going to charge me?

same thing started happening to me yesterday. Would be good to find out if this is going to cost an arm and a leg

The V8s can fail a head gasket, but it is not all that common.
Does the exhaust have that "hot coolant" smell to it ? If it has then its new head gasket time

You will then find out the problem with HGF on a V8 - you have to replace head gaskets on both cylinder banks, even though only one has failed, 'coz it is impossible to know which one has gone !

i just got a price quote of 3000 dollars.

What led up to a gasket failure? Overheating? Most of these cars go to their death on the original head gasket.

i have no idea what led up to it
