Our Spy reports:
it is now becoming more and more often that on the 1.6 16v engine the head gasket is leaking fluid from the front n/s of the cylinder head this is most cases can be taken care of by the warranty but as I mentioned before if we find it on service we cannot say anything . we are now doing roughly 3 a week with mileage as low as 6k suffering from this fault.It is easy to spot by looking towards the engine side behind the oil filter and look for a white ish chalk running down the block .If left this gets into the engine speed sensor and the engine fails to run/start
