    Top timing cover off. O ring between timing cover and head where water from crack pipe thing passes through cover. Before i waste time reassembling where i am is this likely the problem or should i just do HG (i cant really be assed or afford a headset at £250+vat trade from local motorfactor) but if its gotta be then its gotta be. Also whats best way of getting oily mayo goo from coolng system? Cheers Nick

    Quick one, does the forum support tapatalk? It's not a problem but if it is possible to add, free and easily, it makes mobile viewing easier IMO Cheers Nick

    Bold bit is the chewed o ring, need to load pic to photobucket as I can't get it directly off my iPhone, which I thought I could.

    Yeah and I would do it but this bastard BMW wants 2 o2 sensors, a maf, a service, an airbag slip ring in steering column and new rad hoses so I'm broke still I rigged up a halogen flood light on the front of the house pointing directly onto the 4 mo for evening work, as this breaking down malarkey seems to be a regular thing with mine

    Hope so man, headset was £250 trade + vat so I'll get the o ring and risk it me thinks if it does it again straight into hg. Can't do owt till next Tuesday cos of stupid new year

    Got oil cooler off, no leaks. Pulled more bits off, got to top timing cover found the o ring where the water flows through all chewed up. Thinking of just doing a top end refresh though

    It's something to look into, but I want to keep it fairly standard now as it will be my daily for a bit, I'm sick of crunching about with a welded diff and low suspension, though the dub will prob get dropped soon:)

    I have been offered a couple locally but im unsure of it and tbh i'd need f/i to make it worth while. I have decided to man the fook up and attack tomorrow, with rad pack off ill check the oil cooler and crack pipe where it attaches to head as i had it off to do chains, if nothing obvious ill pull the head off, oil cooler and such is on the way into the head so see how we go Ill try do pics and such this time. Hmmm why did it post up last post twice??:-* my bad

    Whats left to do on it matey?? you dont fancy a nice clean 5 dr 4mo do you? head gasket being done in two weeks then all good.
  17. warby
    Yeah want it back real bad now, considering going out in the wind and rain to make a start:)
  18. warby
    oh yes! its great until you want parts, advice, work dong quick then its a horrible place. Keeping the 4mo for the reason the BM is, thirsty, set up for drfit, not 4x4 or vr and hopeless in snow / ice especially with its welded diff and massive powwahs:) Ive mised this place too and its spurred me onto soring th old girl out again..

    Dude being away from my silky smooth vr for this long anything is good help, ive had so many people on this Island BS me about this that and the other. I too thought H/G oil to water gallery too as oil is under much more pressure than water thus oil into water. It got that bad i was going to flush the coolant system and trade it in for a focus st (ssssh):-d but it started to mayo before i got to the Ford stealer...

    Hi, ive been away from here since the 4mo packed in playing with lesser vw's and my current e36 bmw drifter but i want my 4mo back now so... 2000+ miles after i did my timing chains including town, country and motorway driving. What happened; 140mph yes seriously no BS, missed slightly at approx 6krpm then pulled on fine, went like fook all evening. 2 days later temp gauge went a little over normal then fine. Day after it starts to produce a brown mayo sludge in the expansion bottle, (and still towed my mates Skyline in when it died ha ha ha :-p) no sign of water in the sump, but oil level lig
