Sorry folks...I am wondering - of those folks who have replaced the headgasket on their 200tdi or 300tdi with a composite type (Elring), how many miles do you have on your rebuild?
I went the metal route and it leaked coolant at the front LH corner so the next time around I used a composite. 99-100% of the posts I’ve read on the U.K. sites said never use the metal gaskets. Only for factory new blocks and heads.
Amost 40,000 on my composite Elring HG and still going strong (last I heard, as I sold it a couple years ago for my Td5) .
