being an Auto it could be the Transmission oil cooler in the radiator has cracked, putting oil into the coolant,

been-there-done-that.

Once I know the extent of the damage I will update this thread then do a wanted add if needed.

And I haven't a clue on the engine code

Take a look at your V5c , vehicle registration document, and half way down page 2 you should see item P.5 Engine number . First two letters are your engine code.

Just checked with my son and the spare engine we have in Oxford is a 2.3 out of an auto, if I remember correctly it is an ng engine code

This is exception. C3 100 have nothing valuable. This could sell for more money if it would be drivable. Who even buys 100's these days? He should check a doctor

most audi's are not worth a lot in bits after you get rid of a certain few items.

If the engine is indeed toast then why not look into something like a 1.8t to fill the space, cheap and easy to find, only downside is you lose the 5 cylinder sound.

Are the symptoms similar to head gasket failure?

Out of what car? Is it a straight forward swap?
