    Classic Head gasket, but difficult to say with your less than average information!

    Any chance you can ask the question logically - I'm struggling to work out what has happened and what you've done to remedy things.


    Considering selling my VCDS KEY-USB interface. If you're interested please contact me via PM or email.

    Well I lent the car to a mate I got it bk and noticed the header tank was full of oil sludge not water full off sludge !!
    I drained the sludge and flushed the water system a few times ! I though it would be oil cooler cus car ran fine ? Changed oil cooler , and noticed water would still not circulate round ?
    So I put a New water pump on thinking the sludge may have ****** the old one ?
    Still no water flowing bk out off the head bk to the header tank ? Changed the Thurmastat too , still no flow bk to header tank and just boiling up ?????
    I have now took the head off and the head gasket was fine !! ?
    Any help would be much appreciated !!
