Hi,

I don't know about you but as people who love their cars, we have the
super good week ends when we have fun, meet great people and have great
time. Unfortunately there are the other week ends when you hear only bad
news regarding your car.

I will classified yesterday and the day before in my really bad week
ends. Saturday while changing the oil, I discovered with a friend that
one of the two headgasket is about to broke (right english term) by
founding some dirt in the coolant tank. Obviously, I will take that
(unfortunate) opportunity to change both before it get worst.

Any hint, tips or trick regarding changing headgasket on an audi (V8)
engine is very welcome. Any other things that I need to do while the
engine is open, except the belt which was changed 6 months ago.

Regards,
Frederic.


PS: I believe the headgasket failure is mainly due to a catalyst
converter failure last year. I believe an increase in temperature on one
side of the engine dammaged the headgasket.
