Lads,
Can it get any worse, the 16v is dead, suspected head gasket failure, please confirm on description that follows.
I just can't believe it, the last month just gets from bad to worse, firstly twatted my door and passenger side into a stationary post, made a right mess, as well as a few other things this last month and now a suspected head gasket failure.
Here's what happened;
On my way to work this morning, had a do with a new diesel BMW, naturally I embarrased him, he didnt stand a chance against me on cam in and out of roundabouts, then exited the last rounabout........2nd into 3rd, approaching top of the limiter and boom. Im not joking it looked exactly like an F1 car engine blowing up. I couldnt see out of my rear window for 10 seconds due to blue steam.
Is this head gasket failure?
The temparature went off the scale, no water left in me expansion tank, so i presume it exited from the exhaust in all that steam?
There's no water in the cyclinder head.
The guy in the BMW was probably pissing himself laughing.
It was pretty spectacular though, im proud of the impressiveness yet pissed off my car is ****ed!
So presuming it is my head im not getting it fixed gonna put it inot storage and williams + ITB''s.
Gutted though im now without the 16v for summer. :evil:
