Obviously cracks are never good but do you think is going to cause me a problem, no idea how long its been like this. Should say head is off because Oil was getting into the water but these cracks are all between water journels!!  |

jesus, never seen a block that bad before, has the engine been severely cooked by any chance? i had a similar (but not as bad) problem with a 1.9dt where one of the head bolts wouldn't budge, when i did manage to get it out i noticed a crack on the outside of the block |

I think the heater matrix has a crack in it and is leaking water plus the wires that connect to water level sensor had broken off!!! so I hadnt noticed the water was very low. The engine was still running fine. It wasnt until the next day by chance I thought i'd just check the car over fluids etc I unscrewed the water bottle and there was like chocolate milkshake in there BLUB. I filled it with water after flushing it through a couple of times and ran the engine for a couple of minutes and it seemed fine water was running clear, I checked the oil and that was low so I topped the oil up and WOLAA instant chocolate milkshake  Wonder why it only started to mix when I topped it up tho and why water wasnt getting in the oil something to do with pressure? |

As above i didn't think the 6 had one as you have the header tank in the rad whereas my HDI has low coolant level sensor built into the (separate) header tank.That there be goosed my friend. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper - (The other half's wheels) |
