Head leak 200 '83

posted by  someone claiming to be Rod on  Sat Jan 16 06:55 CST 1999 [RELATED]

Well, my fun and thrilling 244ti isn't fun and thrilling anymore. It's a pain the butt. After spending gobs on trying to locate an odd cold start problem I find that I now seem to have either a bad head gasket or a cracked head. (Unless the rapidly depleating coolant is going somewhere else I can't see.)

So, just how tough a job is it to take the head off? I've done it before but on a Jetta which, obviously, didn't have a turbo.

Must I remove the turbo or merely the exhaust manifold? Can I do one without the other?

Any other tricky things I should know about?

Thanks for the help (and encouragement).

Rod
