A skilled mechanic works on a vintage V8 engine in a dark garage, surrounded by car parts and tools.

Finished up the head gasket job on a 2015 #Jetta, flushed the coolant and oil.. got er down off the jacks... and what do you know. She runs! No codes!
Ended up about $500 in parts and fluids overall.
Some rust related aches, some wonky tool paths (thanks, VW), minor fretting with timing the engine - but in the end, these #SOHC engines are pretty simple, fun little learning experience, and beat the (heavy) snowfalls.

Does this need a head gasket?
I dunno, but hopefully about to find out. Misfire codes on cylinders 2 & 3, consumes oil and coolant.
Topped the coolant, about to change the oil, then will check compression and change the spark plugs. See what we can see..
Coming at this half-blind of course, so prob doing some wrench learning this afternoon

It's almost time to close up shop after a long, hard day of work.
