6n polo head gasket gone

my engine has been gettin way over temp when i'm driving along gettin nearly off da water temp scale (easily over 115 degrees) so boiling all my coolant and jus pissing it out as i put it in. phoned garage and ask and they said deff sounds like head gasket has gone due to alot of steam coming out the back of it and it getting way over temperature. wanted to know what engine code I got so can try get hold of one. (s reg 1.4cl) Also wanted to ask if the head gasket had gone would it cause a problem in fuel consuption?

Have you checked the thermostat housing? these are prone to breaking
this link should tell you all about it.

Hi i think yeah it will cause a problem in fuel consumption it will cause a fuel leak to your engine it needs these gaskets to prevent those leaks that is my opinion on your question. and yah some people tell me that a cylinder head gasket set is nice if you have one it will not cause any problem on that part of the car.
