Any water in the oil? Lots of things you can check/keep an eye on which will give a better indication of whats wrong, if anything. ________________________________________ 1999 Astor Grey GTi-6 OEM+ (now gone...)2004 Aegean Blue 206 GTi 180 (also gone...) 2006 Skoda Fabia vRS in Sprint Yellow honestly3k wrote: Do you wrestle for a living matt?

Piston rings I've seen this with 2 engines which both needed bottom end rebuilds. I bet at least one of your pistons looks like this when you take the engine apart. Piston  Rings   Bore  ________________________________________ Standard Black 6Black HBSC6  |
