take a picture of your engine bay , This will help folk tell you what engine you have
you say it's 1.8 ? if so then its not the standard T25 engine but could be a standard VW straight 4 petrol engine (golf/passatt ect.) fitted via a diesel bell housing.

Aye, it sounds like a VW14 series engine, it certainly didn't leave Hannover with that lump in it.

Mmm.. is that Mocki's bruvs old van???
1.8 "golf" engine... have a look on the block for the engine number, this will tell you what engine it is and help identify what head gasket it requires...
Oh, can you fill out your profile with a town... just so we know what part of the country you are in... There may be a member local to you that can help...
