Title: Mk2 8v gti Blew up twice in two weeks
Post by: gavnjen on 22 January 2006, 19:44

 :angry: Hi guys, gav here saying hi on a sour note. bought a black mk2 looked great but think it had an engine swap at some point and they just cut out the old loom, so when the engine oil went like cream i had the head gasket done only to find out 3 days later that the block had cracked :cry:  Anyway on a good note i`ve ordered a new block, K&N induction kit and scorpion exhaust. If anyone knows any dubbers in fife tell then to give me a shout :wink: i`m fed up meating saxo and corsa fools!
