What are the Signs of a Blown Head Gasket? 

Few phrases can invoke panic like these words from a technician - "blown head gasket." Although we know that some makes and models are more prone to blown head gaskets than others, Volkswagen engineers some of the most durable head gaskets on the road today. However, the extreme engine environment where head gaskets work, plus their thin material design, will ultimately cause all head gaskets to lose integrity regardless of the make and model. If your vehicle is experiencing these warnings, it is time to replace the gasket: 

• Coolant leaking under the exhaust manifold
• Exhaust smoke is whiter than usual
• Engine overheats
• Oil has a white or milky consistency
• Fouled spark plugs
• Check engine light
