Hello people..... Right. When i had a 1.4 sport i was using alot off water eg everyday filling up again.... when i started it from cold it used to like burble and we found out the head gasket went...so i then replaced the 1.4 enigne with a pre eco gsi engine.....now i aint not using hardly any water but now and then when i start the engine from cold. i get this burble.... what could this mean..... And i know my loom has had it in the o2 sensor department..... so it is telling my engine its running which it aint so more fuel is going on...... as its over fueling like fcuk

Is it still using a lot of water?

Is the oil very creamy?

these are usual signs of HG failure.

Just sounds like an Airlock in water system.

Thats all it was on my Corsa.

Burble from behind the dash area yeah?

Might be worth doing a compression test as a finite way to see if the HG is playing silly buggers

tbh though if its being funny on a cold start it could just as easily be a wanky sensor. you said somethign is wrong with your o2 sensor, that could cause it. they are cheap enough off ebay
