Trying to assist a Norwegian lady owner: she asked her local garage to give her newly acquired V6 a checkover. They found that the oil level was very low and filled it “too much” without measuring the level. The next day the high temperature warning light appeared for the first time. She returned to the garage and they found that one cylinder was out of action. The garage found water had entered No.2 cylinder, saying “this would have happened anyway”. They then removed the headgasket and even the engine & gearbox condemning the engine.
So, you learned fellows, was the leak of coolant into the cylinder just a coincidence, or a result of overfilling the oil? Opinions please.
Einar, you still around?
Regards
More info: Received this photo, was the leak into No.2 cylinder caused by this gasket?
