i think ive lost a cylinder
or something.
was kinda making a popping noise as i was driving out of work, pulled over and checked leads, one was loose so i pushed it in.
no more popping noise
but
now its running much much lower on power.
i just had my bug serviced not 2 weeks ago, and not meaning to jump to any conclusions, should i take it back and ask what the hell is wrong with it??
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

Us dummies who know nothing about engines rely heavily on mechanincs doing the job on the car right the first time. Thake it back and say "fix it

just took it in to the mechanics, running flat on cylinders 1 & 3, but compression is good on both.
said it could be a cracked head on 3?
they had no idea why the popping noise tho.

I would suggest taking it to someone else for a looksee.If the compression was good on 3 how could the head be cracked?? Check for spark on all
cylinders..:jesus

jack the car up and see if you can move the washers under the head studs with a screwdriver. If they move the case will need to be tapped or have
case savers inserted. I've had this happen to two 1600tp (cylinders 1 2) I think it may have something to do with reving the crap out of them lol If
thats whats up consider your options. |
