  2. Hi all im the owner of a 1.8 16v rado 1990 68000 m iv always had vw ,s 2 polos ,1 scirocco gtx , golf gt tdi and a 170 hp g40 and i thought all my birthday,s had come at once when a bloke at work told me he had a low mile valver in the garage with a blown head gasget he explaned to me he had the book and the parts to fix but lost interest 10 years ago my eyes lit up and i offerd him a cheeky £700 and he accepted brill i thought! i got it back to my garage and set about the head i removed the head to find one big rusty mess all the cyilinders were full of water due to the lack of spark plugs ,slightly damp garage , and evaporation of water condenceing on the underside of the hood and in turn dripping into the cylinders . o well! e bay £ 150 new block and its up and running untill bang ! the gasget has gone again dam so another £160 next one in and i am off again for five lovely days untill the exhaust falls off £300 for a jetex sss and all is well for two weeks untill i do something realy thick i put super diesel in it instead of super unleaded dam! so i read up on what to do/ change the filter flush it out and .....nothing it wont go. I have since given it to a freind who has had it now for 12 months and he rang me up yesterday and its running brill ! BUT it now has an issue when starting from cold he is sure it is something to do with the 5th injector he has tested the thermo time switch and all is well but he said there is something else wired into it . what is it and can any one help? The thing s you do for a vw !!
