Dear Sir,Madam,Iam self employed Mechanic,born in germany and live in Barbados for over 20 years.One of my custumers came with a skoda octavia .She tould me the car was overheating and "somebody took out the thermostat. I saw the coolant reservoir full with"creme "it looked like Mayonaise.Since than i changed the headgasket and the oilcooler.The problem is still there.What makes me wonder is ,the cooling system is full of "creme"but the oil in the engine is "clean'when i take out the dipstick there is no sludge.I would greatly appriciate your help and any suggestions you might have. Oustion.is there a possibility that the cylinderhead is damaged?Thanks in advance Dietmar.

first thing that i would do is flush the coolant system out and see how it goes from there as there is still residue in side the engine if the problem still persists then you would then go on to inspecting the head gasket and the head its self

flush the cooling system several times with plain water and a decent flush, if you you don't have a flush at hand i have used a washing machine addative before and they work a treat
