Head Gasket Gone?

Featured Replies

How bad is this? Mayo in Oil cap and on Dip Stick, water leaking from radiator and also at back of engine, can't see where from

 

Engine is 8 valve 1.4

 

Fabia 2000

Engine overheated last night and regularly having to top up coolant!

Mayo on the dipstick = head gasket failure.

 

Stop driving it or the engine will die completely, mayo will not float the crank!

Could need the liner shims doing too, the last 5 of these motors I have done needed the liners lifting. It is a poor design compared to the 1.3 it's based on and can cost more than the car is worth to sort properly
