owes10 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Hi there, Im after some advice.I have a lupo s 1.4 16v and had oil in with my spark plugs. I removed the plugs, cleaned out the oil and realized to repair the fault I needed to remove the rocker cover, fit the sealant and replace the cover, which I did.I replaced everything back to how it was. I then went to start the car, heard a pop from the engine and blue smoke came from the air filter.......it now does not start, fire up or anything, just sounds ropy when i try to turn him over???????Have I well and truelly screwed my engine????Many Thanks in advance.Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam-R Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Blue smoke means burnt oil... Black smoke means burning fuel.So from that, Id say yes... you seem to have oil in your spark plugs again... Check your headgasket and check your seals around the spark plugs.

owes10 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 How would i check for my head gasket??When i turn it over it sounds like its 'wanting' to start but cant find the spark, would i just change the plugs again ? the leads are in the right way.

Pete Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 Cool, at least then we can hear the noise it's making. Did you take the cam sensor plug off? All spark plug leads on properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasperGTI Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Timing is out maybe? I take it you removed the cam belt.And you defiantly got the plugs on the coil pack in the right order??, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Haha! I thought that too John, but it seems he definitely got them on right, and oh yeah, I forgot about the cam carrier thing, bloody stupid idea....I'll pm you my number buddy.

Pete Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 And as for them being soaked in fuel, I'd say you've flooded the cylinders mate, itl still be injecting the fuel but if it isn't getting the spark at the right time it simply won't fire up.

owes10 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 just an update..... spoke to a few guys at work and they said it could be the timing... I had it towed to the garage I use and they had a look and told me 1,2 and 4 have no compression??????Is this possible and how would / could this happen???

FatelError89 Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 timing could be out leaving valves open on compression cycle .. head gasket gone but does sound like timing miles out when you done the rocker cover and took the cams out did you time it back up and check the marks ?
