Two Big Problems .... One up and coming long drive .... 200

how many miles (km) are on the counter??

Between 200000 and 300000 the headgasket failure (blown) is an ever backcoming issue!!!!

Do you need to top much cooling liquid??

I noticed my headgasket was blown by:
the same symptoms as your car
and
1.0 litre (0.25 gallon) of cooling liquid I had to add every 20 miles!!!!

With a blown headgasket (or nearly blow) during start up, these cilinders (1 or 2)are completely WET!
So in the beginning your engine is only firing 2 spark plugs in stead of 4.
After a few minutes these wet cilinders start also to fire (now they are dry) and the symptoms are gone.=> 2 out of 4 cilinders causes a lot of vibration!!!


No idea about the oil pressure ...

succes
