MK4 Gti anni ! Brown sludge :(

Replaced the oil cooler for new one.. Flushed all the coolant and filled it back up... There are still small signs of oil but there is bound to be some left in the system?
The dipstick has no signs of water/cream what so ever and the cars runs perfectly fine?! Still boosts fine, temp needle stays at 90 ? Just have to keep flushing and see if it gets clean...

And HAHA breaking for parts is a bit drastic lol

Did you keep getting oil in the coolant for a while after??

I would remove the bottom hose off the rad and run a hose in the coolant bottle for a bit.

I'll have to try that! I used some coolant flush stuff but I'm still getting some rise to the tank

I'll stick to keep flushing it out see if I can get rid of it all!! Like I said it drives fine just always on my mind that it's gonna go tits up lol
