Turbocharged cars, like your 1.8T-powered Audi, are hard on the Audi head gasket. After all, your Audi head gasket already had to seal the head and the block from the pressures of combustion. When you throw the additional pressure from a turbo into the mix, the Audi head gasket can say "enough" and burst the seal between cylinders. Don't get us wrong: Your Audi head gasket is designed to withstand the stress of a turbo motor. But turbocharged cars are always slightly more subject to Audi head gasket failure. The Audi head gasket doesn't always blow on turbo cars, and the Audi head gasket can also fail on a non-turbo car. What are some of the signs that your Audi cylinder head gasket is shot? Coolant in the oil, or oil in the coolant is one sign that something is amiss in your engine. Steam coming from the tailpipe (lots of it, not the usual cold morning steam) can also indicate that a bad Audi head gasket is letting coolant into the combustion chambers. If you have either of these symptoms and low compression in two cylinders beside one another, you've found your Audi head gasket leak. Order a new Audi head gasket and get the tools ready.
