Ah looks like the head gasket might have gone on the 99 se7 300 tdi
214 000km.
got bubbles in the header tank!:(
I often use the search engine on this site to find info but i cant seem to find it anymore has it moved?

Anyway i am pretty handy so will tackle it myself this arvo , have already found some oil in the air intake chamber just before it goes into the head any glues what this might be from?

Car has been running sweet great mileage not using oil , has been using a little water surprise ! any things to watchout for when i undertake this repair?

Thanks in advance

Thanks 1-iota , will sub now.

Does anyone happen to know the head bolt pattern as in the order to tighten bolts, so i can undo them in the right order. Don't have a manual yet and not sure how to get rave files!

The head has a marking on the drivers side like a ddate stamp circle with 06 cast into it with IND- ARG as well any clues what this means could the head be 06 cast?:confused:

Cheers
