Cream again

Mark_Dj

On the weekend I did another oil change to my car using an engine flush to help out. New oil and filter added and it was nice and clean, just looked today and I have traces of cream still on the dip stick :roll: . This condensation lark has me beat :lol: . Any ideas on how to destroy it 😛. I can't help but make short trips to and from work about 6 miles each way every day what..

So get it tested to cover yourself 😃

I the water is still clean and the level remains the same then i doubt very much the head gaskets gone. Its probably just condensation. Have you checked the breather pipes arnt full of the stuff.

My water has never change colour or gone down at all. It's perfect 🙂. It's the standard orangey colour with the standard anti freeze. I changed my oil on Saturday because of this problem the other week, when I drained it off it was just the normal oil colour, all dark. It's not loads but little traces on the dip stick notsure.gif

Mark he could be right!! I had aprob on my First car... Yes it was a nova but there was constant cream like yours and it was down to a breather pipe! now im not sure if the same system workes on this 2.2 engine but its worth checking!
