Losing the love
#1
So changed the oil and coolant today to see if it would stop the oil from building up in the expansion tank. I couldn't get the hose off the bottom of the expansion tank so couldn't rinse it all out. I filled it with coolant and bled the system and for a few minutes it was just coolant in the tank but after that oily sludge started rising to the top of the tank.

This is really pissing me off now and I'm not sure if this is a HG issue or if it's just the expansion tank has so much crap in that it's rising to the top. 

So should I try a new expansion tank and re-flush the whole system or cut my losses and get a HDi or something or just replace the engine.
