jamie.gti.escort Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 hi there. i'm new to this website so may not have gone the right way about this but need help figuring out whats wrong with my gti. decided to give the engine a good clean the other day and used my dads steam cleaner. since doing this its been misfiring constantly and seems to have dropped a cylinder. any ideas whats wrong and how i can fix the problem without sending it 2 a garage as moneys tight. thanks for looking. regards Jamie.

lublin Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Hello. Have the spark plug holes filled with water? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstructorPiggy Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 NO! not the steam clean. Tiz why tiz good to run the engine at idle when cleaning....covering the air intake...you know a soon as you hit something dodgy!! Bound to be water in plugwell or a lead gone from steam clean!

jamie.gti.escort Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 hi there. checked the plug holes and plugs. gave the plug holes a good blast out with air compressor and definately no water there now. someone else told me could be a plug lead gone so think i'll start there and see what happens. ordered new plugs today aswell just for safe measure. thanks for the replys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
