cuprak1:
Ok, bascailly I was going along the motorway, quite high revs, then engine light started to flash, car was just burbling when i put my foot on the gas..

pulled over, cylinder 4 missfire was the code, took our the coil and cylinder 4 was full with water.

white smoke out the back ... im thinking its the head gaskett .. or could water of gotten in some other way?

car drives at low speeds but when coming on boost is just doesnt boost up.

i havn't driven it since..

just wondering basically given my brief description anyone could assist in narrowing down the problem?

Its going into seat in a week or so. Just hope there is no other damage.

any ideas or help ?

cheers

snapey:
How was the coolant level looking? Or how is it looking....

vRStu:
Do you mean water in the cylinder or water on top of the spark plug in the coil pack chamber?

Just in the coil pack chamber then dry it out - may blow compressed air in.

jonnyc:
Did you find out what the fuel leak was etc after the 'jump'??

cuprak1:
snap - im loosing coolant somwhere somehow, it has defo gone down and exhaust smoking.

vt - water in chamber on top of spark plug i sucked it out with a straw (yum) and im leaving it to dry for a few days before i get a new coil in there and start it up for the 1st time.

the strange thing is trying to work out why it wont come on  boost? and how and why the water got in there?

jon - nope no more fuel issues since sump was replaced maybe your thinking of other k1
