    Hello. How much can it cost me to replace the head gasket on the Renault Thalia 1.4 gasoline engine - 2004. This, of course, involves the replacement of all seals that are subject to disassembly of the head. I have oil leak at 185,000 km and I have a new car. Can someone give me the approximate cost of the repair?

    After symptoms, I think that 8-valve engine, and oil leakage under the head in these engines is a typical ailment. Without planning the head, repair in the short run, in a thousand will certainly fit.

    Szymitsu21's colleague means responsibility for the work done, so according to the court battles, the workshop should do everything it is necessary not to expose the client to losses, in this case it should replace the complete timing. It doesn't matter that he was replaced two weeks ago. If something goes wrong and the case is based on a court, the workshop will bear all the costs associated with it. It doesn't matter that he didn't want to shave you, then you say you weren't aware and the workshop can't say that.

    And an example? someone puts to me before the timing I will make the heads and then in a month the tensioner pin will come out, and I will not tell the customer that it is the fault of the predecessor because it makes me laugh ,,, That is why everything is done according to art which unfortunately costs.

    And every time you repair the head, you install a new timing gear, as when, for example, replacing the gearbox, you install a new clutch? Let's not go crazy.

    Let's not go to extremes, I'm talking about a situation in which another workshop did it and I'm not sure when.

    So moral for the future, repair the car in one workshop, because then we will save on preventive replacements of almost new parts and there will be no one to blame if something goes wrong?

    How would you change the timing two months ago, would you also replace it now?

    Still pay VAT and income taxes, subtract parts, liquid and oil and you can earn PLN 300 or less. If you have no costs, it is poor and if you rent premises you will not eat. The market is broken. You can keep clean and pour old liquid or oil but it makes no sense.
    Gentlemen on crusaders with their own barns in the villages not paying taxes fit the market and then everywhere is too expensive.

    I'm talking about it.
    And to my predecessor, if I did it not long ago I would put on a new belt.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around the cost and considerations for replacing the head gasket and associated seals on a 2004 Renault Thalia 1.4 gasoline engine, particularly in the context of an oil leak at 185,000 km. Participants suggest that oil leakage under the head is a common issue for this engine type. Estimates for the repair cost range around 1000 PLN, although some emphasize the importance of also planning the valves and potentially replacing the timing gear to avoid future complications. The consensus is that repairs should be conducted by a single workshop to ensure accountability and quality of work.
