Posted October 19, 200519 yr Hi all, Well finally got my autobox and convertor replaced. Now she is only running on 5 cylinders and loads of smoke is coming out of the driver side pipe. The garage reckons that I have a cracked cylinder liner and the only way to sort it is to do a full engine rebuild for 2.5k :shock: or get a reconditioned engine for about £800 quid and they will fit it for 1k. They also changed the plugs, did compression tests on all cylinders, checked injectors, spark and fuel etc. all fine. They think that the suspect cylinder is sucking up oil and that the plug/spark is igniting the oil and that is why all the smoke is coming out. I thought that if the compression was good the liners/cylinders would be ok. baffled :headvswal Even tried a working PTU to see if it was that. Now when I took her in she was fine so am going to get a second opinion. Help anyone!!!!!!!!!!

October 19, 200519 yr Sorry. Its called envy performance and it is in Bedlington near Newcastle. They do Poopra's so should have known!!
October 19, 200519 yr They might just be trying to make a few quid out of you, or they could also just know **** all.
