| I am pretty sure water should not gush out of the exhaust  Picked up my new mk2 driving great no problems at all then on comes the flashing water temp light then loss of power then cuts out. I pulled over and there was steam coming out of the side of the head by the cambelt. NOT A HAPPY BUNNY !!!! Tomorrow I will have the damn thing apart and have a look whats happend or maybe just rip it out and stick a 16v or turbo engine in it  I have never had this happen before is it head gasket ? I have had head gasket go before but never like this | |
