edl Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 I just bought a 2000 dts at auction and it is overheating and the exhaust is smelling like it too. This sucks! How screwed am I? How do you undo the electronic security lock on the stereo/cd? Does any one want to buy a car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you undo the electronic security lock on the stereo/cd? Does any one want to buy a car? It must be pretty bad for you to be smelling it at the exhaust. I have a bad headgasket and do not smell it at the exhaust. Do you have vapor at the exhaust on cold start up in the summer? Open your coolant tank and smell the coolant, does it smell like exhaust? Have your coolant checked for combustion by products. How much did you pay for this car?

I do not see any water in the oil though. I payed $4000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeInAmerica Posted July 30, 2009 Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 A $20 laboratory oil analysis will tell you for sure if the cylinder head gaskets have failed, or not, as one of the tests done is to check for the presence of coolant in the oil. A rebuilt engine + installation will run about $3,000 +++, depending on the quality of the rebuilt engine. Not cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
