Tony, My .02, You will hear a lot about the famous leaking head gaskets if you hang around this list awhile. After learning the hard way about this with my '84 GL, I have changed the coolant every year in my '87 GL and at 155k have never had any leaks. I've used non-phosphate brand 'Sierra' now for four years. Cheers, Jess Lopatynski 87 GL 85 GTI 89 911 Targa |
