Chesh Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Yep sounds like headgasket has gone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AdamB Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Headgasket, wouldn't drive it anymore as you'll be flooding the cylinders with water and will end up even more costly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Think it might be going the other way mate. Regardless though could warp the head if it continues to overheat. Edited June 12, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
