How do you replace the cylinder head gasket on a 2000 vw jetta 1.8 turbo?
to replace the cylinder head you should get a chiltons book for your year make and model of your vehicle. If you have never replaced a head gasket before you should take care to make sure the timing on the camshaft and crankshaft are set to top dead center before removing the cylinder head because most volkswagons have an interferance engine which means the cam and crank must be timed properly or could cause cylinder valve damage. Take cylinder head to a machine shop and have them check the cylinder head for warpage with a straight edge after you have cleaned off the gasket and any material on the head. If cylinder head needs resurfacing, make sure the machine shop does this. Follow directions carefully to retorque the head down (if needed replace head bolts if they are torque to yield bolts). Make sure you repair the problem that caused the cylinder head gasket to leak. This problem could be anything from a leak to bad thermostat, or even a bad water pump. When i replace a head gasket I always replace the water pump and thermostat and flush the radiator, heater core and change the oil twice before driving. Most newer volkswagon vehicles have an air bleed procedure to get the air out of the cooland and to condition vehicle for proper coolant flow. check procedures and follow exaclty.

Low compression and engine not starting or hard to start are symptoms. As mentioned above, do not discard the possibility of electrical problems due to overheating. However, the prime suspects are blown head gasket and/or cracked cylinder head.
Why must the new head gasket be checked against the old head gasket?
To make sure it is a match and therefore the correct gasket for the engine.

How do you fix antifreeze leak in a head gasket leak?
Remove the cylinder head and all other parts and replace the head gasket after the machined surfaces of the head and block are evaluated for trueness. If the head is warped, have the cylinder head milled at a machine shop or the gasket will fail again. Should cost $400- $600. Some will say they have a magic solution called silicon carbonate or water glass that can be added to a flushed cooling system with plain water. there is a chemical reaction that can make the gasket seal for a limited time. In less than half of the cases it does work for a few months but you are on borrowed time. This is not a permanent fix.
