Where are you mate....I've got the tools and shims if you are local.
Are you sure the head gasket is fitted the correct way around? as I understand it can be fitted wrongly which blocks the oil feel to the head.

Well I'm in Nottingham if you fancy a drive out (about an hours drive?)
In a past life I worked at a main VW dealership and bought my own tools (25 years ago...Hazet depressing tools, shim removing pliers and the shims I just accumulated over time)
