  1. Symptoms of a Bad Head Gasket in Your Volkswagen from Certified Mechanics in Kalamazoo

  2. The head gasket in your Volkswagen is an important part that prevents the mixing up of fluids in the engine.

  3. The head gasket acts as a seal & stops residue buildup which keeps your engine free of things that can cause trouble.

  4. Whenever the head gasket in VW fails, then you are going to experience serious engine issues.

  5. Here are the common symptoms of head gasket failure compiled by certified mechanics in Kalamazoo.

  6. Overheating

  7. A head gasket failure might have been caused due to the engine overheating continuously.

  8. However, don’t be mistaken as a blown head gasket can also lead to overheating of the engine.

  9. Nevertheless, coolant can also leak into the cylinders and cause the engine to overheat.

  10. When the engine is overheating it can cause warping of other parts in your car & also damage other components.

  11. Contaminated oil

  12. If you observe milky sludge on the underside of the oil filler cap or on the dipstick, then it is a sign of head gasket failure.

  13. This is caused when a malfunctioning head gasket is unable to stop the mixing of coolant & oil.

  14. When the oil gets contaminated any further driving is going to damage the engine’s bearings.

  15. Your VW will require an engine oil flush as well as the replacement of the oil filter.

  16. White smoke

  17. A bad head gasket often results in large clouds of sweet-smelling white smoke coming from the exhaust.

  18. This is caused due to the coolant leaking past the gasket & into the cylinders where it is turned into steam.

  19. The head gasket failure allows combustion pressure into the cooling system, or oil breather system.

  20. You need to take your VW to a certified mechanic for replacing the damaged head gasket of your car.
