hi can anyone help i lady in distress.. i bought a audi estate 2.0lt a few days ago got it home and it wasnt running to good i checked it out and put it down to head gasket as it had cheese in engine and a little oil in the water bottle ... so i stripped down engine to do the head gasket right i got head off and i cant see on the gasket where it may have gone it all looks ok

Hi,

If you haven't done so already, you need the head skimmed and definately a new gasket, head bolts etc, regardless of how in good condition they look.

Hope you get it fixed ok
