I looked at it today though, and I'm fairly sure it's not at all the head gasket this time, its the vent line that leaves the top of the valve cover. My bet would be its a little stretched after removing it so many times for other fixes.
        Maybe it's blow by and now require a bottom end? Pull the dipstick out put a ballon over it and rev the engine,if it starts inflating and the vent is clear it's engine time.

          interesting... I hope that is not the case. I'm pretty sure they did a compression test at one point (although not 100% sure). That would have caught it, no? At any rate, I'm staying optimistic for now .

            Its on its 3rd engine, so it hasn't been the best either. Still rolling though.

                One more for the list - My Homelink unit keeps forgetting how to open my garage door. Homelink tech support says the symptoms point to a problem with the device; it isn't processing rolling codes properly. VW says it may not be warranty and are looking in to it. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be warranty. If other buttons or switches in the car fail to perform their task, it's generally covered.

                    If I'm not mistaken, the home link buttons are in the visor? And they were always prone to failure?

                      I fixed it a while back. Check out this thread. The homelink unit is a pretty common model, and easy to swap (suggest not doing it in the cold as there are tabs that may break...)
