Hey. My car listed above Golf 4, I blew gasket and after replacing it with new one. I have realized that the oil has mixed with the coolant. Please far from home can I block the oil cooler to makes me get home so that I can fixed a new one or solve the problem?

I definitely don't recommend blocking off the oil cooler. That could cause additional damage to the engine. Also, prolonged engine operation with coolant in the oil will result in damage to the crankshaft bearings. If you're certain the oil cooler is the issue, I suggest replacing it before driving any long distances.
