T25 head gasket replacement

Post by bruceinedinburgh »

I'm looking for a specialist VW camper mechanic in Edinburgh/east of Scotland to quote for this job. Anyone know anybody? Searched the forums etc but nothing there at all. 3 garages claiming to specialise in campers across central Scotland failed to diagnose exhaust gas in coolant, until Clark's commercial VW did so; but they can't work on old vehicles. I'm willing to try the job myself with expert advice, which of course there'll be loads on here...?!
