hendy3 0 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 hi, my vr6 is loosing about 2ltrs of water a day with no obvious leeks, the engine runs but after about 20mins of driving, it over heats way steam cumming out the water bottle, i have flushed the system out and there was no blockages or that, i have spoke to a few people, one has mentioned that my head gasket could be gone, there is no oil mixing with the water but if it has split near the pistons, the water is slowly leaking into the cylinders and evaporating, should i not see a big drop in performance if this happens??Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 It does sound like head gasket, or a split near a water way somewhere.Does it 'steam' from the exhaust for a long time when started from cold?Your engine will plod on like normal, it doesn't know theres a leak so it will give you 100% as normal! Until it siezes from over heating... Link to post Share on other sites
