Title: head gasket gone ??
Post by: golfmk31997 on 15 February 2012, 15:06

Hi all wondering if anyone could give me an insight to the problem ive got with me MK3 1.4L. I think my head gasket may have gone looks like dirty liquid around where the gasket is. Also there is continual coolant loss, expansion tank got nasty cream sludge in, All the hoses have liquid on them, oil dip stick has signs of sludge, inside oil filer cap full of sludge ! Also blowing white smoke from exhaust and also keep loosing some power know and then when out on the road.

So what you think is it a gonner ?? What should be my next move get it confirmed at a garage ?? Also if it is im not going to bother fixing it would just have to scrapped :(

Its up to you if you want to fork out for a garage to confirm it, but tbh it does sound like HG has proper had it. Time to weigh it in me thinks.
