[Vwdiesel] Heads up

[Sandy Cameron]

Merry Christmas diesel heads.

Did VW ever make Iron heads for their diesels?
1.5 or 1.6?

I would be very tempted to try and get one, if so.

Have just done 2 head gaskets on son's and friend's cars, and it's obvious
the slow deterioration of the gaskets is due to the alloy head, and the
thermal cycling of stop and go.
Must squirm around a lot.

Tempted to leave it running forever.

I even keep it on the block heater in winter when not running,, just so it
won't cold cycle so drastically in cold weather (makes for quicker starts too !)

Iron heads might be a good idea.
