I have two almost identical cars. One is my own, 2000 135K which has damaged body and manual transmission and newly bought 2001 93K car with auto with blown head gasket engine. I checked the oil and it's highly diluted with coolant. I wonder if I'm better off with swapping engine outright or I...

This is driving me nuts. I replaced the valve cover gaskets a few months ago because the spark plug holes were full of oil. Since doing so, they're no longer full of oil, but the things won't seal no matter what I do. They end up leaking from the front corner on the passenger side and the...

Hello Everyone! A week or so ago I posted on here that my daughter's 01 Passat GLS 1.8t (AUG) lost all of its coolant, again. I found the source, and it was a rupture in the coolant return line from the turbocharger. So, I have pulled the entire front end off the car to make for slightly...

2001 B5 V6 GLX. Hey, looking for some help. About just over a year and 13,000 miles ago, I did a full timing belt replacement along with all the pulleys, tensioners, etc., as well as both cam cover gaskets, front and back cam seals, cam chain tensioners, and new pcv hoses and vacuum lines. A...
