Last year i had the oil cooler replaced on it as I had oil in the coolant, After about 5K miles it went again and a part replaced under warranty. After another 3K miles i am again getting oil in the coolant. It has been in to Chryslert and they are suggesting it may be the Head Gasket, When i have pulled the oil out there is no water in the oil, but i still have oil in the coolant and it is overheating after a short period, but presume this is bacause of the oil in the coolant and it not cooling properly.
I am thinking that this is yet again an oil cooler problem or possibly something else. Has anyone else had this and how easy is it to check the head gasket without stripping the whole car apart?
Chrysler quoted 5K to do head gasket but this may not be the actual problem. They did say the Oil Cooler is OK and robbed me 200 quid for looking at it for 2 hours.
