Hi all,
I would appreciate if anyone could help me out here.
I have a 3 year old Ford Focus 1.8 TDCi diesel. Just out of warranty!
I checked my coolant level today and discovered that the expansion tank is full of very thick black gunge. I have no clue what the problem could be, I have "googled" it and head gasket failure comes up a few times. I have checked my engine oil cap and it is clean. The problem is only with the coolant expansion tank. There doesn't appear to be any leaks and I have not noticed any oil puddles under the car. The engine temperature gauge is always set at normal.
Any ideas what the problem could be and whether this is a DIY option?
