VW Crafter 2.5 tdi 2009. Broke down, overheating red warning light. Water spraying all over one side of the front of the engine. Breakdown guy said it's a head gasket gone. Towed to vw garage. They say at first it's a thermostat, which they've replace, said it was defective, they can show me the part. Fair enough. Not solved the problem though. Then they say it's the water pump. Now they say adblue has been put in the water bottle. As a professional trucker, I would never do that. I suspect they don't know. Any tips or advice what to do most welcome.
