Problem with your Heater? BLOWN HEAD GASKET!

I've made several posts regarding the fact that my heater was blowing cold air when at idle. On one occasion the temperature gauge exceeded the mid-point for about 30 seconds.

Brought my car in, they bled the system and this resolved everything. For a few days. Today I get in my car to go to lunch and after starting it the engine chugged and the CEL came on.

Brought it back to the dealer, long story short - BLOWN HEAD GASKET.

My car only has 111,000kms on it (~70k miles). I called up Honda Customer Service and filed a complaint. Hopefully they'll do the right thing and pay for it. I replaced my timing belt and water-pump at 96,000kms. Car is well maintained, oil changed every 6000kms.

If Honda refuses to pay, there is no whay in HELL I'll EVER buy a Honda product again. I'll tell everyone I know the same too.... Details to follow.
