Polo 6n 1.4 8v

[PoloFanatic]

Hello all, first of all I will introduce myself as I have just registered and received my first vehicle yesterday for my 20th birthday. My name is David and I'm training to be a motor vehicle technician. Well enough about me, having spent most of the day on the backyard cleaning my beauty polo yesterday she will not start now. I already knew the headgasket needs to be replaced and also the throttle body needs a good cleaning out. My question is whilst attempting my second head gasket on this bleeder is there anything else I should look put for? Or any tips? Although the head gasket has gone surely it should still start unless something else has gone? It was hot when I tried cranking it up and it did start then it died so it's not the battery after draining a few volts with music :P

Thanks and I appreciate any advice.
