We have ongoing water leak from coolant system at the union to engine head. Various attempts at repairs suchas several new rubber seals, chamfereing metal on engine head to make better fit, heat selants etc grage i snoe saying that we should replace a/ engine head or b/ full engine as a/ good fit impossible due to chamfered metal or b/ pressure is too greta for weakened seal point and thi scould be sign that engine onn way out.
We are going to try an aluminium rediater fix (just pour into water system and heat, presure and air will seal leak)and see what happens. But is new engine (head or full otherwise really necessry. is there anything else we can do or can anyone recommend a vw garage in brighton. thanks
