has my headgasket gone? 1g-fe - daveb948576 - 19-01-2021
i'm wondering where the water would go from inside the car where the heater-matrix is, would i get wet carpets or would it be directed to run outside of the car like an over-flow pipe?

just a thought, it can't be a leaking heater matrix as i have no steamed up windscreen.

Just an update after sealing the cap yesterday, i had a little gurgle from the matrix this morning but none this evening, hopefully the cap was the cause of my issues and not the head gasket, i'll keep an eye on the coolant level and order a stat. thanks for the help guys

Fingers crossed.
Many unscrupulous garages would have charged a new HG to unsuspecting people.

Yeah I know, I used to work in a garage
i'm still getting gurgling from behind the dash today though. I'll check the water levels tomorrow.

dont forget the old parking on a hill trick to get any air out
