D8 2.0 GLX - Dead engine

Post by V6Exec »

My D8 died the recently - zero compression on cylinder 4.

Overall car is in OK condition and has all the toys; full electrics and climate control. I need the parking space so has to go.

I will try and get some photos up soon.

Any interest?

How about some photos and a few details like mileage and any recent new parts or repairs?


As it happens, I'm looking for a 2.0L spares and repairs...


Let us know where you are too

Will try and get some photos up today.

Mileage is just below 125K. New exhaust fitted (mid section early last summer, rear section end of last year)

Location wise, I am not far from Stansted airport.

Damn, far too far away for me.

But do post photos etc up. Someone here might just offer you cash for bits and bobs.

Any clues as to the cause of that?

What you looking to replace it with?

The other three cylinders return a healthy 12 bar.

My guess - valve.

As to what the replacement is - my nick should give it away
