Mikey444 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Hi , i bought a sport about 3/4 weeks ago, and last friday lost some power when coming home from work. Turns out cylinder 1 is misfireing, changed the plugs and leads and had no luck , i tried a few used coil packs and none of them fixed the issue. The car was loosing coolant but doesn't seem to burn any, no mayo on oil cap, if the car runs for 5 mins it struggles to start again or at all. A lot of white smoke is coming out of the crank breather that goes to the air filter, and a lot of oil on the filter. any ideas? Could it be the head gasket or something else? Like rings or valves? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey444 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 I'm in fife , and any idea what a garage would charge for a compression test/ check on the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 go to machine mart and buy a compression tester for twenty five quid. if that's good change an injector round and try to change the cylinder missing as diagnosis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey444 Posted November 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Do you know what psi it should make? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 just look for widely different pressures, but when i briefly had a 1.0 it was 160psi (or near as damn it) on all 4, 10 seconds cranking wide open throttle with all plugs removed. Anything under 120 would be of interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
