dealers wont repair wire. they replace the whole harness. so probably long ass harness. Did they give you the breakdown of what they did? sometimes with warranty and insurance work they start adding bullshit to up the bill

Most of it was “labor”. I only paid my deductible for insurance and the claim was “animal damage”. Most likely happened overnight while car was parked.

Almost $5,000 in labor holy shit.

Those are just the wire harnesses in the engine bay too. No need to take panels and crap off inside. It took them about 20 hours?

82122-WAA04 has taken me about an hour before. lol

Since the CEL came on immediately on start up, would lead me to believe there could be rodent damage to wiring. The coolant control valve and coolant temp sensor are both located under your intake manifold and is a great place for rodents to seek shelter. Also with driving for a bit then getting a caution for overheating would make sense especially if there's damage to the coolant valve wiring.

Take your engine cover off then try to shine a flashlight under the rearward area of the intake just below where you see your oil filter housing and check for any signs of debris (nesting debris, droppings or even remnants of wiring). Even better if your have an inspection camera you can get a better look by fishing it under.

....

If only someone could have led you in detail to check the wiring to that coolant flow valve under the intake you wouldnt have had to waste your time filling coolant, driving... bleeding procedure, driving..... lol

Glad you got it fixed

Alldata online is showing 22.3 hrs to R&R engine. So, must have been quoted to insurance that engine removal was necessary. Whether or not when it came down to doing the repair it was necessary is another story.

100% these dudes quoted an engine removal, took off the IM, and pocketed the difference lmao

@JToll for the win - called it in post 7. Thanks for the closure ?

I have been having issues with my car spraying coolant out but now it seems like my issue is even worse than before with a blown head gasket. It all started after repair job to the wire harness being replaced by the dealership and I believe it was not done right… Seems like it it all leads back to that from my research

Brought it to the dealership. They said an animal chewed through coolant tank wires and others. Costed $6000 (covered by insurance). Took about a week now she runs like normal.

Any pics of damage?
