I think the layout is different on the TFSI.
On this, you can't run coolant lines to OEM exchange as there's not enough room.

When you remove the cylinder head check across all 4 cylinders with a flat metal ruler and a bright torch shining against it to make sure the block isn't warped. If its warped then you will see the light shining under and out the other side of the flat ruler etc as you move it along the top of the block.
One of the lads at darkside with a 2.0 CR with GTB2260 had the exact same problem as you, head were lifting causing coolant to leak when on track due to heat and abuse. When he took the head off it had warped the block! His car is a 170 CR but the blocks are pretty much all the same.
He tryed some evans waterless coolant in and ARP head studs but the damage was already done and it still lost coolant on a track day the week after.
I reckon your block will be warped dude :(

Will do mate - fingers crossed its just the head.
Cheers.

Saw your car at UD this weekend, looks rather tasty mate. Keep the updates coming, love seeing a bit of diesel tuning.
