[Vwdiesel] New head gasket

[82 Diesel Westy]

My 90 Audi 200 has them both.  The fan will run after
the car is off until sensor cools down.  The coolant
pump is an out of place looking thing mounted over the
ABS brake box, they all leak after 10 years.  It pumps
fluid over to the back of the head seperately.
