He didn't half get a shock when he went to pick it up again when he was told it would quite likely require a new engine!īecause of his misfire report, apparantly they decided to do a compression test and the #1 cylinder is well down at 70 compared to 160 for the other three! When he brought it home there is now a pronounced tapping noise at idle!. Was booked into the dealer on Thursday for an 'interim' service, with a request to clean the sparkplugs and carry out a regap to 29thou. The car was bought new on 30th June 2009 and has only 23K miles on it. Having read though a lot of the info here, I'd convinced myself that it was just a regapping issue with the plugs as has been discussed in the excellent info provided by RW1. I've been reading this and some other threads with interest as my son's 160PS has recently developed a discernible misfire, but more noticably, well down on power when accelerating.
