Td5 Defender 90 problem with oil in water!

Roxy39 · Feb 18, 2012

My friend has a TD5 Defender 90 and need help with a problem. There is oil in the water, and no heat in the cab. Has anyone got any ideas what the problem is here? Thanks for any advice!

generally oil and water mixing is head gasket/cylinder head cracked

could be the oil cooler or the fuel cooler corroded.

Head gasket, oil cooler or fuel cooler.

Is the oil black, mushy brown and sludgy or clear/golden in colour?

Oil has got a little bit of sludge in the cap and is a creamy brown, but there was only a very thin layer! Thanks to you all for getting back so quick it is appreciated.

Unfortunately that sounds like headgasket.

my bet is oil cooler, thats what it was on my td5 disco, if he can get a good used or new one, they are a doddle to diy fit, couple of hours max.

Magic, thank you to everyone who has got back to me to try to help.

Just to let you know in case anyone else has this problem it was actually the water pump that caused this!

I cant see how the water pump could put oil in the coolant?
