MY 2.0 GTI

[davy80]

Hey guys think my engine is f**ked, gettin the lovely cream and little drips of water comin from the oil cap. only problem is that the water is still clean which im findin strange but she is losin oil and there are no leaks so can only mean that its burnin it, would this be the rings?

would a 1.8 GTI fit straight in with no problems as long as i get the brain as well?

Thanks guys

Hi the 2.0 Use oil fact. Ive also spoke to a few owners who also get a bit of cream on the cap. If the waters clean i would think your ok TBH.
