Here you go again - starting a new thread on the same subject AGAIN. Is this the 5th? - i've lost count.

 

Did you follow the advice on anything you were told previously?... No, I didnt think so.

 

The only sure way to check a head gasket is to replace it. But even then it might be something else like the head itself(cracked or warped) - oh by the way you have 2 of them in a V6.

 

Personally I still think its your water pump - was it really changed? By a reputable garage? If so, why didnt they test it out afterwards and check the problem was solved?

 

I think the the easiest thing for you, fonze, is either give it to a dealer or VW specialist to sort out or to buy a new car.
