Hello Everyone,
The car in question is my son's '91 Golf, with the 1.8l Digifant II controlled engine (engine code RV). The car has about 200,000 miles. The car is loosing some coolant, and when starting up the engine in colder weather there is more white smoke for about 10 seconds than I would like to see. We already replaced the water pump (it was leaking there a bit), and have a new plastic coolant outlet flange (the front one is also seeping a bit) that we will put on. The engine is pulling strong, not missing, and not overheating. Just wondering what are the chances of headgasket failure?
Thanks, Peter
