Blown Head Gasket
V70, 2010, D5 twin turbo) 207,000
I sort of already know the outcome of this but thought I'd ask anyhow. The head gasket has gone The coolant expansion tank is full of oil and there's no doubt it's the head gasket. I'm a bit p*ssed off - I changed the oil yesterday and yes, it's the right spec oil in the right quantity: I've done my own servicing for years and it's just an unfortunate coincidence...some coincidence admittedly but there's no doubt: right oil, right quantity. Presumably, it's scrap - very hard to justify the cost of doing the head gasket on a car of this age and mileage. Part of me thinks about flushing the cooling system and chucking some K-seal in it or am I just wasting money on oil and filter for something that is most likely FUBARd
