Re: [VWoT] Pressure
Have you done any work on the engine recently?... I am betting on a
headgasket as your problem.. Does the car have a missfire of any kind after
sitting for a while or first thing in the morning?..
See if you can get a cooling system pressre tester, pressurize the cooling
system then remove all the spark plugs and let it sit for an hour. See if it
holds pressure and also see if any coolant is present in the cylinder..
