HEAD GASKET

[alexperkins]

by that im guessing you are saying its failed?

[Darby Vw polo]

yer its gone. any ideas on what i need part-wise??

[alexperkins]

a new headgasket, new coolant, new oil, new oil filter. As for the rest, its not something I have ever done myself, so someone else will have to fill in

may be a good idea to have the head skimmed incase its warped

also youll need a new cambelt and i recommend changing the waterpump while the cambelts off.

if your not confident then have a garage repair it,if the cambelt dont go on correctly then you could cause serious damage the engine

CAM BELT, WATERPUMP BELTS AROUND THAT AREA WERE CHANGED 200 MILES AGO, got new oil, oil filter etc for a service so got that covered. any recomendations on were to send the head if its warped?? and how much wud a garage charge??
