Head gaskets seal the cylinder head and engine block. The seal prevents motor oil and coolant fluid from mixing while creating a strong seal for optimal combustion pressure. Damaged head gaskets are referred to as blown head gaskets. A blown head gasket can cause a range of problems depending upon damage severity. Routine engine inspections often detect fluid leaking damaged head gaskets. Head gasket damage is ultimately a problem that requires prompt repairs to fix the damage and limit the risk.
Blown head gaskets can cause a range of symptoms that range from minor to catastrophic. Symptom severity is correlated with damage severity. Minor gasket damage will allow a smaller volume of fluids to mix. Severe gasket damage can immobilize the engine immediately. Here are the most common symptoms caused by blown head gaskets:
Head gasket repair involves removing the damaged head gasket and installing a brand new part. A certified technician begins by removing the cylinder head from the engine block to expose the head gasket. The damaged head gasket is removed. The engine block and cylinder head are prepped to create a strong seal with the new gasket. The genuine OEM gasket is installed to factory specifications with the cylinder head returned to the engine block.
Volkswagen drivers can schedule head gasket repair service conveniently online or by calling the service department when open. Service includes a complimentary multi-point vehicle inspection. We operate extended Saturday service hours. This is a more involved repair with customers often needing transportation. We have rental cars, complimentary Uber/Lyft services, and a courtesy transportation shuttle available for those needing transportation while we complete the service.
