Head gasket gone?
« on: 13 March 2013, 16:25 »
Just topped up my waters and thought I'd give it a check as I haven't done since the service a few week ago and found this:





I've read with the 2l GTI that it mists or condensates somewhere so thought I'd post up and check if anyone knew whether it was that?

(Hopefully it has so the Mrs has to be told it's going to have to have a new engine..  :whistle: 1.8 T *cough*
