Hi, bought second hand 2002 Terios a few months ago and since then it has been loosing coolant after service and new coolant was put in. Am worried that it could be a cracked head gasket as the worst scenario. Car does not get used much as is a second car but what would be the cost of a head gasket repair for this car, thanks.

Before jumping the gun, have the vehicle assessed to determine the true cause you will need the following tests done..

*A pressure Test
*Checking the flow of the system ( Checks water pump and thermostat)
*TK head gasket check.

Thank you. I have had a pressure test done on car when I first bought it and I took it to the AA to have a service done. However it has still used up coolant so I am worried that it could be the head gasket. It is not doing anything else that I have noticed.
