    Thanks Terry, some real world Tdi specific testing of the theory is good to hear

    The 200 and 300 Tdi run a lot higher boost pressures than all other 4x4 diesel engines of its era, and coupled with an alloy head etc reducing boost and cyl temps and pressures I thought would've been mandatory to get it to last more than a few hills...

    .
    Latest is I said bugger it, it's worth a shot, as I can't really afford to wait it out in Alice Springs over the christmas. Just put the head back on with the original gasket and Hylomar, am in the last stages of putting it back together as we speak - just taking a break from the heat now for a few minutes - sun is splitting the stones here today. If it gets me to Melbourne, I'll put a new gasket on there.

    Will get back to you later and let you know how it goes.

    It'll be that last 0.7km that could make all the difference

    Well, that 0.7km *did* make all the difference... it took approximately that long for it to start boiling over... Ah well, God loves a tryer and all that.

    Sorry to hear Mike, make sure you immediately drain the block to lower the possibility of any coolant entering those nice new bores and causing corrosion etc.
    If needing anything 0408 995 635 I'll try and help if poss,
