Re: my troubles continue

["doug c." <scirocco16v@europe.com>]

i just replaced the coolant less than a 1000 miles ago when i did my last oil change, and i'm pretty sure the coolant level is fine, i've been checking it regularly...

if i had blown my head gasket, wouldn't i be getting a lot of white smoke out of the tailpipe? is there any other way of telling if i blew the head gasket?  also, what causes this?

TIA everyone

Oh no.  Sounds like you might have blown the head gasket.  That would make 
sense from the symptoms you describe.  Sounds different, no power, temp light 
coming on.  Is there any coolant in the tank, better yet is there any coolant 
in the oil.  Has the car over heated recently? Good luck.
