Morning
So I want to change my Headgasket as it seems to be weeping oil ever so slightly, and has done 130k so would be a bit of piece of mind.
The existing gasket I can see the thickness tab which has 2 holes. I am told nearly all 300tdi's had a 3 hole gasket, so I just want to check that I should replace like for like?
I will be using a genuine gasket.
Also do I need to drain the oil? I presume the coolant has to be drained - how is best to do this and then refill and bleed it? What is a good coolant mix?
Thanks all.
