I've just purchased my 5th FSI breaker in a row with headgasket failure as a result of a coolant leak.
Whilst we are all aware of the so called 'death-pipe', which was the cause of failure on one of the cars, the rest were all coolant pipes or joints that were left to get worse and eventually resulted in heavy coolant loss and overheating.
I think what i'm trying to say is, keep an eye on your coolant levels and check for any leaks with the car idling on the driveway. Some of these leaks will only show while the car is hot and running. Early detection could prevent a much bigger failure!!
