paceo 22 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 as title, a guy very near me is breaking a 36k golf vr6! yes 36k! its mint, well apart from engine to why he is breaking it, he says the headgasket has gone, can smell petrol in the header tank and its pissing out on the thermostat housing! is this the usual problems with the VR? no mayo in oil cap!

Therusterman 59 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Do a quick compression test, that might help confirm your suspicion. Either way, surely its worth repairing rather than breaking?! Link to post Share on other sites
daveyboy 897 Posted November 19, 2014 Report Share Posted November 19, 2014 Hmm I'd get a sniffer test done on it but if it's only got 36k I wouldn't of thought the head gasket has gone. Link to post Share on other sites
