Renault Megane possible head gasket blown?
Hello people, just a question about my Renault Megane 1.6 16v petrol. I have noticed oil mixing with my coolant, leaving a brown creamy substance layering the top and cap of coolant. Also I have removed all my spark plugs and plugs 1&3 are oil fouled, on the tip and in the wells. And finally my lambda sensor is flagging up my engine warning light, I know this because I used an obd reader to check problem. I just wanted to ask peoples opinions on wether this is most likely the head gasket. I would think it is but I don't seem to have overheating or smoke in exhaust. Any input would be much appreciated.

Probably, but any competent repair garage can confirm it in just a few minutes by taking a very small sample of coolant and then using a commonly available chemical testing kit which shows the presence of exhaust gases in the coolant.
Many modern cars suffer HGF more than they used to but the Megane and all other Renaults using that same engine family have a worse reputation than usual for it.

When I ran into a similar situation, it turned out a crack developed in a cylinder wall.
