Thank the lord, are we thinking hydro locked then ? Quite unbelievably my wife's x3 BMW has done the same thing, head gasket gone and hydro locked it, came home today to find it fooked, have just chucked a 30 quid bottle of kseal ultimate in it 😳

Yh thinking hydro locked hard to believe a few drops of petrol could lock up the engine but so glad it wasn't anything worse

440 injectors parallel fuel lines fpr wlbro fuel pump full decat with blitz nut spec cat back front mount 3 bar map sensor 3 port electronic boost soliniod and Alcatek ecu hoping for around 300bhp anything over that is a bonus :)

Great news all is ok but in my experience a leaking injector like what you have had on your car will hydrolock a car but alls well that ends well.

Forgot to mention if you've had a leaking injector possibly flooding a bore with fuel (especially to the point of hydro lock ) it might be worth checking the oil to see if it needs changing.

As if the fuel has washed the oil from the bore it might have got past the rings and into the sump , so if it's due a oil change it might be worth doing it sooner rather than later [emoji6]

it wasn't due an oil change but did it today Anyway  was a good job as could smell fuel in the oil all fresh now even did a coolent change while I was there took it on a short drive not using boost all seems well so far :)

Update been for my map 308.8bhp coil packs started to misfire around 4000rpm so couldn't turn it up more mapper said with newage coils it would make 320-330 no problem but happy with what I got was a good day
