 There will be no mistaking the need to replace your Audi head gasket, as the symptoms can be dramatic, but are always clear. When you pop the hood and check the oil, like the responsible vehicle owner you are, and see, instead of the rich, black substance you expect on the dipstick, a light brown, frothy mess, it can be a bit shocking. That is one of the clearest signs you’ll see that it is time to replace your Audi head gasket. Naturally, there are a variety of less dramatic signs, including oil in the coolant, a white smoke coming from the exhaust, a heavy scent of coolant coming into the passenger compartment from the heat vents, unexplained overheating, gurgling and bubbling in the radiator, and an overflow of coolant into the overflow tank. The Audi head gasket is not at all an expensive part, but replacing it will be an expensive job if you have it done in the automotive service center, as it is a long and involved process, although a fairly simple one.
 That’s because a lot of engine parts will have to be removed in order to gain access to the Audi head gasket. If you decide to replace your failed Audi head gasket yourself, be prepared for a long session, and leave yourself plenty of time. If this is the first time you are attempting such a project, you may want to consider adding one of our quality repair manuals to your Audi head gasket order, as it will provide excellent guidance and help the job go smoother.
