Hi all, first my earlier post..
"""Hi All,
first time poster but long time browser, are the 2.2 engines of different power interchangeable ?
I have a 155hp that cut out whilst driving ,the AA spent about an hour trying to get it started to no avail,it turned over with white smoke but never started, and my local Mechanic recons it needs a new engine, he did a compression check
and recommended the best option was a replacement.""
Since then I have gotten the van back home and started working on it ...
So far ...
4 injectors checked ..all 4 need replacing
3 glow plugs also bad
I eventually with lots of swearing and cut hands got the head off to see if there was any damage to the pistons
They actually look ok to me no cracks or holes , no 1 piston though has approx 1mm movement in the cylinder
Is that normal?
so I guess what I'm asking is what my next steps should be?
I'll add a few photos of the pistons when I get home this evening
Cheers.
