its got a 3 hole gasket so does that mean heads been off before

hi i think i am going to have to change my head gasket on my 300tdi,do i need new bolts.i am trying to do it as cheap as possible

i hope it is air,head gasket dont look to hard to change tho

i will try that then,do they normaly have bad air locks

ive tried that but when i fill the thermosat housing it fills the expansion tank

yer ive filled the expansion tank to the top left it run with cap off then drained a bit out and put cap back on.the temp gauge has been moving up and down aswell but never into the red

been trying again today,i think its the headgasket.top hose dont seem to have any water in it

ive tried to bleed it a few ways.filling the expansion tank untill water comes out of the two plastic bleed screw things and tried filling it through them.hope its not headgasket.it was fine untill i changed coolant:(

yer the water was realy brown and still is even after flushing it loads of times.i took the stat out today will wasent open but the engine was hot.went to fit the new un but it was wrong.so ive knocked the centre out the old un

hope its not the headgasket,also why would the water be so brown.ive topped water up and will see if it does it again.do these have any probs with expansion caps needing changeing.thanks for help

i did undo the top bung when i changed the antifreeze,the hoses are not rock hard like its building up pressure,and it dont get hot

hi ive not long bought a discovery 300tdi,i changed the antifreeze a couple of weeks ago.i flushed it out loads of times due to the water being brown,the missis has been using it with no probs except a gurgleing noise behind dash and the heater being a bit crap.anyhow she gets home from work...

ive ordered a gates belt
