Hi All been a while since I have posted work never ends
I seem to have a problem with my 06 Audi A3 2.0 TDI cooling system
I seem to be topping up the coolant weekly and no leaks or wet patches to be found
Some forums say EGR cooler and a lot talk about the aluminum heads getting porous with age the car has 195.000 k,s on the clock
Some people might think that a lot for me its not run in yet the wife's jeep with MB/OM642 engine is just clicking 285.000 k,s and is going better than ever my Jaguar X300XJR6 S/C has 250,000 k,s and feels better than when I bought it new so k,s /mileage is irrelevant if the engine is looked after
It seems the VAG TDI BKD engines seem to get porous aluminum heads when the get up in the mileage the car has always had Audi service religiously new timing belt at 173,000 k,s which would have meant water pump and coolant as well
The engine is running sweet so don't want to pull it apart had been told by a race car engine builder with 30 years experience to use the Irontite ceramic seal tried looking on bitog to see if anyone had used it or had similar problems with a VAG group 2.0 TDI engine seems I am the first
Any tips or info would be appreciated
