Hi all,

I was wondering if anybody could help me on the above subject!

I have a 2001 VX Corsa 1.2 SXI with 44k on the clock, it seems to be having head gasket problems, it has a lot of emulsified Oil on the cap(though i do only do ave. 7 miles trips a day) its losing about 1-2CM of water a month(but i do sit in a lot of town traffic), just started to notice that when idleing it sometime sounds really ropey, it does not happen all the time just now and then, it seems to clear once i rev it to 2500.

Any help in this matter would be greatful!

Thanks!

Martin

Compression test would indicate if it's the headgasket. You can get guages from most motor stores.
