ep91steve Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Update car at gargae getting mot work done... They said that a have put 2litre to much of oil in! And that's what more and likey caused the gunk, and that headgasket should be fine? True? Quote
ep91steve Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Right car at garage the now! They said a put 2litre to much of oil in the car (tit a am),they said that could be the problem. Oil is clear not milky or that, heaters working as far as a member. No smoke out off exhaust more like condensation and car has only been started up few times in last 2 month for about ten minz max Quote

whiteglanzav Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 too much oil can make it burn oil due to over pressurisation Quote
