its a 200tdi and seems to be using a fair bit of oil
no oil in coolant or vice versa but chuffs like a gooden with the oil filler cap off

head gasket or somethin more expensive?

bigfatsi:
Heavy breathing is usually a symptom of worn rings/pistons I think. As is oil use. Is it kicking out blue smoke?

Chuffs out of the oil filler cap when cap is removed??

You've got a blown head gasket most likely between No three and four cylinders at the pushrod part.

Like to put ten bob on it ?? LOL

A simple easy if time consuming job.

HTH

muddysteve:
puffs out a bit of blue smoke when been idling for a while but other than that ok

i did find a bit of oil in the airfilter so its definatly over pressurising the lube system

bigfatsi:
Either way,a compression test will help. If one or two cylinders are low then you've probably got a head gasket gone. If they are all low but increase with a small squirt of oil in the cylinder the rings. *Works on petrol - don't know about putting oil in a diesel cylinder!*
