I bought this 92 awd tsi 4 months ago.my car would smoke oil and coolant horribly from engine bay and exaust at running temp.So i jumped to the conclusion that the head gasket was blown givin that its a nice gasket i think it might be a cometic...the turbo is under a year old i wouldnt think it was the seal. oil literally would drip out exaust yes it was oil.
I finally got the head off and the gasket didn look to bad but there was a little coolant pooled on top of the third piston. I checked the third set of valves on bottom of the head and the two exaust valves had build up and one of them looked a hair out of place but idk what a bent valve looks like it looks different than the other ones il put it at that.Id put a pic up but my phone broke(it was a shitty morning
). Also the whole valve set looked different between the other valve faces on 1,2, and 4 it was black and a little sooty. but between the faces on the third theres was almost no soot and it looked as if fluid was the reason for this.
On that note i could easily turn the crank by hand
there wasnt knocking coming from within the engine
the top of the piston doesnt look damaged
there was never any loss of power unless i drove the car for more than 15 min it would sometimes die at stop signs. Anybody have an idea?
