[QUOTE="anxious, post: 209097, member: 193"] Ok guys, I have been diving the car around for the last few days and the car seems ok but for the slight vibration I had related to earlier. I called the previous owner and asked him to relate his overheating experience and he told me that it happened last year when his temperature hit the red line. Apparently he only managed to solve it when he changed the radiator cap. Now I am quite sure that the vibration problem I face is a result of the overheating episode he had. How bad could it be? Gasket vs valve vs cylinder head vs block? I know I have to open it up to find out but surely if it was serious it would have manifest itself in the last couple of weeks of use. So far no loss of oil.No sign of overheating. Water not really sure but I think there was a slight drop ..anyway I have topped up to Cold level and monitoring it. Nevertheless, I am still very happy with my buy but for this potential problem. [/QUOTE]
