Crap. I have oil in my coolant tank. [bang]
The local dealership suspects it's a head gasket. The bike has 2500 mi on it!
Took the water pump off per Ducati Regional service reps advice. Seals are good.
Performing a leakdown test to determine what cylinder head is leaking.
Est. one DAY's labor to replace the head gasket.
Insane, has this happened to anyone? How does this happen?
Can I do this myself? Is there a DIY somewhere?
Do you have water in the oil as well?
Not that I've seen. just oil in the coolant.
What year S4R?
Haven't heard of that kind of failure.
Doesn't mean it can't happen, tho. :-\
Just wondering how the oil's getting in the coolant, as the pressurised oil is externally delivered on the Desmoquattro.
Leakdown is a good plan.
It's an 04. That's what I thought too. Head gasket is all I can think of.
