Question

My Grand Voyager MK5 from 2008 with 2.8 CRD Diesel engine has got a bad head gasket. 

How do I know? 

 

On Ice cold engine is steams white smoke and pressure goes straight away to the expansion tank (fumes).

Mayo on the oil cap as well...

 

So, did anyone did b4 head on Grand Voyager ? any tips? Can't be that hard  its only 4 cylinders head.

 

Any manuals available ?

Head Gasket sorted out.  :)

 

Head  tested&skimed £50 (cash in hand) , new 1.2mm head gasket for £30 from eBay

Old bolts as they do not stretch and are spot on 15.5cm long every single one and there is TEN of them not 18 or 16. 

 

Anyway, now I need to clean all injectors as not efficient and has got low performance and need new washers as one of them leaks. 

 

Engine is taping and smoke comes out.
