hello to all,

ive just picked up a 2003 mv6 auto with the usual culprit header tank full of gunk, but am i to belive that if it also overheats ie it goes from cold to 90+ degrees that it may not be the oil cooler that the headgasket is gone, i bought it as a repair so any advise would be greatly appreciated!! :-/

its overheating cos oil in the water isnt a good cooling system.

It WILL be the oil cooler.

Swap that out, flush like mad.

Jobs a goodun

i just done mine its the oilcooler like the guys said to me and now to clean the water off oil

1Litre of low foam washing liquid will clean the cooling system and leave your whites whiter than white.

Washing liquid will act like a very powerful washing mc at 60mph for 30mins' then drain and repeat until clean then flush the life out of it untill the detergent is gone and then 50% water 50% red coolant to make sure the cooler is protected.
