Have a 99 Jetta TDI w/ 180K mi. Upsolute chip and larger injectors. Been running great. Was in PA on vacation, apparently blew head gasket....reved engine higher than normal pulling out into traffic from gravel, tires spun big time and over reved engine? and got lots of grey smoke. Am leaving it for 3 wks at foreign car mechanic in PA (I live in IN). He is reputable and honest...BUT...I have some questions I'd like some experienced techs to help me with. The Tech in PA is also open to suggestions.
1)Where is best place to order gasket kit and how much is good price? For kit and entire job?
2)Tech wanted to know if after-market is ok?
3)Should head bolts be replaced?
Please offer ANY suggestions you have for this job or any other things that should be checked out on my car.
Thanks,
