405 cylinder head gasket

1994 peugeot has no compression , garage have suggested scrapping the car to me but they will keep the car for the apprentice to
practise on

should i bite the bullet and get the work done or is it not worth it ?

advice welcome

 

if the car didnt overheat and blow the head gasket then i would change
it and do the cam belt at the same time ..... if you have any idea
about engines you'll know if the engine has overheated the head may be
warped so if it is repaired make sure the garage have the head checked
and skimed if needed ..... also the garage would say scrap the car it
only takes a few hours and 30 quids worth of bits and they have a 405
to sell ........at the end of the day if its a nice car and you like
it get it done if its showing its age and your feeling a bit suspect
about the next mot get rid ........hope this has been of some help
.....shane

 

thanks for reply - garage advised that cam belt gone and not worth repairing car so it has been scrapped - best car i have driven in
a long tme too ((

 

405 overheat? , mine was fixed. normally the heat sensors will triggered at 90°C, its to near from 100°C, so.. what you need is just a single RESISTOR 220 Ohms, cut on of the sensors cable.. and bridge it with 220 ohms resistor.
and it will triggered at 80°C, and cooling fan will turn.. so its more safe..

 

Funkadelik, you are replying to a 19 year old thread !! I’m sure that 405 is long gone now. Ha Ha
