Hi, wondered if anyone could help. I’m buy no means a mechanic. (All the gear no idea) I found froth in my dipstick(alarm bells) I also done a combustion test and the chemical turned yellow. But when I done compression test I’m getting 175 to 180 readings on all pots and the leak down test is in the green. (all good) Could it be the heat exchanger/ oil cooler thing that the oil filter mounts to. Thanks in advance. ________________________________________ MORLEY |

My heat exchanger once failed causing oil to get into the coolant.To confirm i took the coolant pipes off the exchanger and used a joiner to connect them together then ran the engine, I put two hoses on the exchanger and ran them into an empty bottle. The bottle started to fill with oil which confirmed my suspicion. ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Epic idea, I’ll try that day after tomorrow. New part from Citroen is £266, still a little cheaper than a head gasket and less work. Thanks for now. ________________________________________ MORLEY |

Nice price. No need to buy a new one in my opinion. It's not common for them to fail and a used one should be easily available from a breakers. |

Thanks for replying. Are they on other 306s, because the scrappy up here, gti6s never make it into the yard to be broken. ________________________________________ MORLEY |

They are not on all 306s. I believe they are only on GTI6s. Try Ryan aka pug_306 here in the forum. I guess, he can help you out! |
