A few issues guys ...spitting water, White Cream, whisling.
Next since changing the water I've noticed some cream gathering around the oil filler cap, checked the dip stick and no cream or any other crap.. just oil also there seems to be a bit of water spitting with white smoke out the back which is worse when you first start it.
Another issue is the tappets (Hydraulic) after reading a few threads last night on here many of you suggested putting a ltr of ATF, so today I drained out a ltr of oil and put a ltr of ATF in, tappets sound a little quieter but I've only done about 10 miles.. how many should I do? Before I drain it and put fresh oil/filter in. also which oil would be best ??
Can someone tell me if I need a new engine ??
By the way it's a 1990 Golf GTI cabby. 1800 8v
Look forward to your reply.

The sound seems like it's coming from the bottom pulley, I'm no mechanic so you have three pulley wheels, one on the alternator, one on the water pump (Which is new) and the other on the engine block. (it sounds like it's coming from this one.) if I slacken off the fan belt the sound goes away, but the fan belt is slipping, as soon as you tighten it the sound is back… the tighter the louder. Any ideas, I could video it and post a link if that helps any one !!
Cheers lads

Thanks for the reply mate, at the cost of £3.79 new fan belt and that's it, whistleing gone… can't believe that's all it was, I even bought a new water pump thinking it was the bearing ?? not to worry thanks for all your help.
Many Thanks Guys. :mrgreen:
