Is there any online guides (with pictures) to do a head gasket replacement.

Hardest part would be taking off the exhaust manifold and trying no to shear any bolts.

Have the rave cd but pictures would help.

agree^^^^^^^
tdi head gaskets are one of the easyest to do if you have never done one before its a good first time but td5 there is a little more to it
tdi head bolts CAN be used 3 times but change them any way
td5 should be changed every time
