CALM DOWN like Mike says oil cooler, the bit the oil filter is attatched to, there known for mixing oil into the water, you will need a new one and a set of hoses and an industrial size box of bold or persil to clean it out with

LOL, i love the way you say you thought you had a big job on

This is going to take you a whole day!

There is a Technical service bulletin on this, ask your local dealer if they'd mind printing a copy of it for you as it details the complete process from changing the cooler to flushing the oil residue out of the system.

A complete set of part numbers is also in it, which will ensure you get a right first time fix.

but if it is the head then forget it. I was told Ford sell more replacement engines for these Mk6's than replacement heads. Therefore, I had a replacement engine at 85000
