Help!

Hello, I started a thread yesterday about me 200tdi overheating, ( please read for more background info) today I went to look at this problem more closely. I sure did find a BIG problem. The tubo hose, air box, air filter and the engine are full of a combination of both water and oil. Its evident that I have a hell of a problem on my hands, but what caused this!? And more importantly, how the hell do i fix it?!

Thanks

Head Gasket - not a hard job. Cheap to repair yourself. Lots of advice on here

What about getting all of the water and oil out the engine?

Told him that yesterday, don't think he believes me

Download the rave manual and have a good read of that.

and the turbocharger for that matter.

I believed you till i saw the masses of sludge and crap everywhere. Changing the head gasket is one thing but what about all the other components? My K&N airfilter is toast, or should I say a soggy and expensive waffle

Drop the sump, remove intercooler, soak air filter in petrol and clean (if poss). Drain rad and header tank - not a big deal. Head bolts and gasket + do the P gasket so around £75and fit new thermostat £5. Is you radiator in good nick? Also check water pump.

Cheers, i'll take a look later or tomorrow

Ah, and the turbocharger?
