Hi, just thought I would see what you folks would say about this, I have just been to look at a 1990 gti 8v on a H plate, the guy wants ?1000 for it, well the car is very nice, body you cant fault it, but the engine, well! I got the guy to start it up, and while at the back of the car, looking for blue smoke, everything was ok, but when I took the oil filler cap off, while the engine was runnning, it nearly stalled, and the engine revs were rising and droping until i put the cap back on, also when the cap was off, there wasnt much pressure coming from the hole. Also, in the water bottle, there is some white gungy mayoniasing, and also the red warning light is flashing, but the car didnt overheat when i took it out for a test drive, the temp guage went up and didnt go above 1/4 way, also the car drove really well, so if it is a head gasket problem, surly it would run like a tractor! so this one has stumped me, the guy selling the car is getting fed up and i said i wouldnt over him no more than ?500 for it. thanks for any advise.
