E30 Zone

Hi people iv got 2 e30s.Are the headgaskets weak on them.Ive not had them long and there both gone ive had one done and its gone again not that iv thrashed it but gave it a bit and have heard of a few otheres that have gone by the way they are 325isport tech 1 and 2 but my point is they are 2.5 they should take the beating and i thought they are bulit proof and now i know.

The head itself could be cracked or warped. Common for them to crack.

Did you get it pressure tested and skimmed before sticking it back on?

yes of course the garage done it iv got a saxo thats solid and is a daily had it for 4years never missed a beat but the e30 only had them a year next month gutted i am my dream car aswell.oh well might move on.

Mine went after 2 weeks. It happens.

Although if done properly they won't go on their own. Especially if it has been done so recently. Headgaskets will only normally fail if there is an underlying problem, normally in the cooling system. I would ask the garage for proof of the pressure test too.

iv got proof they did do it properly as mate of mine works there.I can believe saxos are good and fast tbh?

looks like luck may not be on your side mate just like me ive had 5 2.5 e30s in total and 3 out of them had head gasket issues so your not alone

p.s saxos can be rapid lol

guys just been out and raced the e30 with my saxo .saxo was way faster and alot better handling.anybody intrested in my e30 as im disgusted with them so grab yourself a bargain?

based on your reviews might have to trade in my 325i for a saxo. what engine you got, the one litre 49bhp one or the more powerful 1.1 with the 59bhp lump?

Mmm i have friends who work in garages. Doesn't mean I would trust them to check the oil level.

Anyway, you are clearly just being a child for attention. Enjoy your spaxo, innit

Well that's real funny I give you that!

You are comparing a 20 odd year old 325i with a fuked headgasket to a french shitbox saxo?.... Lmao, what planet are you on? My car would pi ss all over the fastest of you french shitters (the vts) so anything else in there line up is really quite pointless.

May I suggest you go and buy a decent e30 so that you can see what they are all about instead of a rotter with no compression due to a self confessed headgasket failure

If you want a fast car then you dont want to own an E30 or a saxo both a slow as shit in standard guise.

Stop being a pleb, i get the feeling this guy has neon washer jets on his saxo

Go faster stripes lol

But pac, a healthy 325i would stamp all over a saxo especially the high comp lump found in a pre facelift car!.....

Can you let us know a little more about your Saxo please

What is the ratio between the pedal cog and the one on the back wheel?

Lmfao ^

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Don't feed the troll!

LOL!!!!

aw wheres the troll gone? it thought i was gonna get funny

what kind of E30 is the other dude driving that got whooped by a spaxo anyway? or was it his grandad on his way to the shops for a paper ? lol

FYI spaxo driver...............MINE WOULD KILL YOU!!!!!!!!

M8 glad yuns lik ur saxo but me m8 dave gt redtopnova fukin rinse your spaxo

My point is the head gasket wasent gone and went when i had it then i bought a tech 1 and within a week that went then i got the gasket done on the tech 2 2 weeks gone again now im so annoyed im selling up and driving my saxo or spaxo what ever floats your boat and going to save up and get a mitsi evo real drivers car and even a e30 m3 isent that fast.

68 minutes to sell a car!?


What the fuck is this, Christie's acution house or something?!

Stop lying, you're not fooling anyone!

The best engine transplant would be to stick the 1.0L shitron saxo in to it "innit bruv"......

.....standard....and you think it's rapid?


For sure you're a kid trying to wind people up......

French car build quality is shite, i know, i've got a 106 and the cooling system on it is fucked up beyond all recognition, nothing seems to go right on those shitboxes!! First the clutch, then the cooling system, then this, then that......then back to the clutch and so on........ abit like your shitron saxo.....

Hahaha this funny!

Obviously a dickhead if you think a 1.6 8v saxo is faster than a 325i,, go home you fool. If you put an m50 in an e30 you would kill yourself if you think an 8v spaxo is fast!!

For the record my mate has a shitroen saxo vtr and he cannot get anywhere near my car! If you had said vts you would have had more of a case,, still shite little cars all the same.

And an evo isn't a real drivers car with traction control settings for gravel, snow ect ect... How much more fuking help or driver aids do you need for christ sake?... Over 200bhp through rear wheels only with no weight over the back end and NO traction control = E30. You don't get much more of a drivers car than that!
Enjoy you micro machines fool

your mate probably either couldn't see due to the amount of smoke coming from your car or he was dodging bits falling off it

??
Not likely mate Not after the money I've thrown at her
