head gasket; warranty

[nothermark]

As you know, our '98 is being repaired at the moment. From messages
here, you shouldn't have a problem with the '05 engine.

However, for others here, I distinctly recall gurgling noises from
the engine every time I parked it. This for at least a couple of
years before gasket failure. Having read about this, I think that
the noises are an indication that there's air in the coolant,
which is the primary cause of gasket failure. If your car gurgles
when you park it, it either hasn't been bled correctly and will
fail soon, or you already have early gasket failure.

More likely it was a hot day and you were boiling off coolant sending
steam bubbles to the expansion tank. When the water pump stops
running you can get local hot spots that will do that.

Possible but I don't think so. ISTR hearing it in a wide variety
of conditions, including coming home at night.

5yr\60k for powertrain. If you had the additive I think they took it up
to 7yr\100k for the headgasket only.
