Ironflitz Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Do a compression test and you'll be able to diagnose if it's an internal problem or not. Search Google on how to do one, there's a detailed one on vauxhall owners club. Ironflitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not compressing properly, then you've potentially got big problems mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) As said already get a compression test done or cheaper still buy a compression tester and do it yourself. (about £20) read up on the internet how to do it and post the results with 10 seconds cranking and wide open throttle on each cylinder. have you used a code reader to see what the faults are?

Steph4n Posted February 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Cylinder 2 is not compressing properly maybe a loose valve so get top end taken apart and looked at replacing head gasket and belt whilst it's being done aswell can't wait to see the bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
