Hydrolocked, must've been a deep enough puddle for water to be sucked in the air filter, end result, bendy rods  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Good job saving another 6! no mate, just where i have been buying parts from for the re-build. there was a lot of water in the engine, lucky it was only 1 rod bent and lucky it didnt snap and go fru the block. fingers crossed the engine works when its back in the car  ________________________________________ Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url & = |
