Hi Linda,

Assuming you mean the head gasket (there are loads of different gaskets in a car's engine), we'd have to know the year and full engine detalis before we could look up how long that work would take in any given car.

Even then, we couldn't hope to give you an accurate price as every garage charges its own labour rate and even the price of the parts will vary considerably depending on where they are bought.

Suffice to say that it is a large job that will likely be somewhere between €1,000 and €2,000.
