Rep Power: 0 Coolent Leak, 2006 Honda Civic
Hi,
New guy on the block. Took my Honda to my local mechanic, whom I trust, telling him that my car was over heating, and I didn't have any ruptured hoses. God News and Bad News!
Bad News; Coolant leak from the engine gasket, meaning I need a new engine.
Good News: Depending on VIN, Honda has a 10 year engine replacement. I took my 2006 Honda Civic and it qualified for the replacement.
Curiously enough, while there I asked about my airbag, and was told it was okay.
Dealer said it would take about two days to replace the engine.
Here is the web site I used to ck:

Hope this helps anyone else out. It's good to have a mechanic you can trust, and am sure this saved me a couple of thousand dollars.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

It gets a brand new short block.
Search for 'civic cracked block'
USA gets warranty on the block extended to 10 years/unlimited mileage.

I saw one of these, oddest thing ever, right out of the r18, mid block there was a hairline fracture with coolant bleeding out.
