Condensation inside the engine can cause 'mayonnaise' if you only do short runs, as it doesn't get hot enough to drive out the moisture. Depending on which bit of the head gasket has gone (if it's the head gasket at all!), you may still retain pressure in the coolant system, so don't take that as ultimate proof of it being OK - especially considering the mayo and water on the dipstick. Then again, I've not heard of head gasket issues on the 1.9 diesels...

Can't help with it cutting out...

Mine did this and left me stranded on the M3. Check the Fuel Pump fuse, as these are known to either work loose or fail, according to the Skoda Assist man (fantastic service!!) who got me going again!
