GTI-VR6 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi, i would really apprciate some help. My vr has been drinking a lot of water recently, i have to fill it up at least once a week. I had a leak a few months back and it was from the housing (?) under the engine, and its been fine for ages. But for 3-4 weeks now it has been drinking so much. Ive had it on the ramps and looked for visible leaks but i cant see any, and theres no wet patches underneath the car in the morning. So where is it going???? please help. thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Madrocker 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 Off the top of my head I would say Head gasket mate. Is there any white sludge in the rocker cover when you take the oil filler cap off? Link to post Share on other sites

Madrocker 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 I'd still look into it though, Mines due a head gasket because its leaking oil out of the pull side of the engine and water is going down slowly. But I do long'ish runs often so the amount of water getting in evaporates off without a trace. Link to post Share on other sites
