806 mayo in the filler :(

Harlequin · 01-11-2012, 03:51 PM

hi , wonder if someone can help?

recently serviced my 2 litre petrol 806 , but came across somthing disturbing - the oil filler was clogged with with white gunk! stripped the crankcase breathers and de clogged them (and filler) , clean oil (castrol gtx - asda currently doing it £10 for 4 litres) new oil filter , also changed the water and anti freeze....

well

checked it today and it looks like gunk is coming back , except it looks like foam

also the water is brown again.

the system isnt over heating or pressurising, but i did notice a puff of white smoke when reversing earlier!

help!!

Sounds like the Head Gasket

dont say that

do the bottle of fixit (hyper seal , steel seal etc) actually work?

These type of seals are only used by dodgy dealers for a quick fix to sell a car on n leave the new owner with bigger problems.
Find out for definite if it is the head gasket and get the job done correctly it will save you money and the car will last longer in the end.
