Subject:      Headgasket diagnostic "trick"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

  Paging around on the VW Vortex Forums to gather info on my probable
headgasket failure and replacement.  Saw this suggestion to see if you may
have a blown headgasket...


  They say stick a latex glove over your pressure tank cap and start up the
vehicle.  If the glove 'waves at you' by filling up with leaked gasses
coming into the pressure reservoir, you got the leaky gasket...I thought
that was pretty clever.  Love little 'tricks' like this...


  Don't bother telling me this is NOT gonna work...I already know there are
probably dozens of reasons why this is 'internet crap'...but it can work
sometimes, I bet.
