what do you think people??

doesnt look great!

hmmm that does look like far too much mayo to be just condensation im guessing your HG has gone?

whats a HG tiz?

it the seckond time it has done this!

head gasket

chears shane! my bad

hmmmm

that aint good, id say the head gasket has gone.

its not loseing water or geting hot, it has a good run every day to work and back on the a14, and there dosent seam to be any oil around the head.
when we diped the oil stick last weekend there was mayo on the end of the stick!

its on the mk2 1.6 driver daily!!

when you get mayo thats oil and water mixing, the fact you got it on the dipstick I would agree with the rest, head gasket gone mate.

cor that is well bad!

a head gasket can go in so many different ways making one cars characteristics different from anothers.

when its on the dipstick its usually a good bet, as water and oil has mixed throughout the engine. when its only a little bit on the cap its usually just condensation.

yeah if it was on the stick its almost a dead cert. Whats the water look like? Cause if your not losing water it might be mixing between the oil and water keeping the levels looking normal, weird things happen when head gaskets go, quick and easy job on that car though

I don't drive more than 5 miles to work and my oil cap looks the same and I do not loose a drop of coolant, and thats on a VR. When I had the ol 4 banger that was in my car, it did the same thing until I cruised around and got the motor good and hot Only reason for the "mayo" buildup is from moisture. Most cars that have that buildup are not driven enough and are usually used for to and from work as well as just for a run to the grocery (short distances). Worst case senario, your headgasket is gone but I highly doubt it as you are not loosing coolant and I assume its still the same color.

As for the oil in the air filter, its from the bull$hit vw oil breather system...easy fix, do a catch can mod and you will not have any more oil in the air filter, inlet piping, and trottle body.

the water is clear, and there is no oil in the bottle

it dose no more than 5 miles a day, thats town and small bit of the a14 thats not quit a mile, some weekends it dosent even move! plus my dad drives like a old biddy!!

just give it a good thrashing! lol

hmmmm you might be lucky but i doubt it, multi grade oil would most likely be fine in an old driver, clean the gunk out, run some engine flush through change the oil and filter, give it an italian tune up(thrash the twaaaat off it) and see what its like then.
