    rear diff oil colour

    Heater not working / coolant levels

    Had same problem after replacing head gasket on my Tdi300, just found easiest way was to fill slowly thru top of thermostat housing, tightening screw/bolt down, running engine till gauge showed warm, letting it cool , then repeat process, takes a while, but did work for me.
