UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 This will require specialist welding techniques. A MIG welder wont do it.Can you upload a picture of the area - I might be able to help you. Link to post Share on other sites

gary.scales 0 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 Thanks again people, in the end there was no hole, that was an opinion of a VW mechanic.... so wrong. New gasket sort of sorted, still blowing,but maybe it has warped, or maybe needs two gaskets, or tightened up when hot as that is when it starts to blow, will have another go at it. Thanks all Link to post Share on other sites
