A lot of labor to replace a $30.00 gasket set. You did the job correctly and safely while protecting the customers automobile.

Thanks!!

Replacing this is no joke, its an absolute nightmare

I found 10nm wasn't enough to stop the water leak on mine, I put the manifold back on to test it before I replaced it all and it still leaked, I think I went to 15nm

I had a 2007 mini cooper s...and they are not fun to work on. Might as well change the water pump while your at it...it's prob due after the drive to your shop.

[@hrdiesel]

You are probably right. Customer is wanting to sell it so he was wanting to repair only what was leaking.

@hrdiesel i went through 4 water pumps in 5 years...plastic water pumps, who'd think they wouldn't last. Changed 4 myself in my driveway after the cost of the dealership doing (and the heart attack i had over the bill).
