Thread: Oil in The Water

Hi i have a Octavia Elegance 54 plated, the problem i have is i'm getting oil in my water system but don't have any loss of power as if the head gasket had gone, also thier is no water in the oil.
Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks

hi
one possibility of oil in water is when the oil cooler develops a fault. It is common in certain cars but not usually one in a car as new as yours. however it is worth having it looked at. (if yours has one fitted?)
Oil can get into the water via a head gasket without the opposite symptoms occuring but eventually the gasket usually blows, then you get the awful emulsified gunk in the rocker cover as evidence sometimes leading up to this. a simple pressure test would tell you if the coolant system has a leak somewhere.

ok thanks i'll give it a try.
