:-[Hi, new to site,
Recently blew head gasket on my 1988 GTI cab. Only done 84.000 with FSH.
Is this a weakness on the 1800 GTI?
Previously owned 8 & 16 valve GTI's with no problems at all.
Spoke to my local garage,non VW,said major job & quoted ?400.00, seems pricey to me, any comments?
If I am paying that sort of money I might consider a complete engine rebuild as car is so good.
Has anyone done the same or know of good place to get done.
Regards Nick, (now back on bike).
