Piggysniffer Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 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 😳 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swino Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecka Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 What mods you did? What you hoping to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swino Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johned Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 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] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swino Posted October 30, 2016 Author Share Posted October 30, 2016 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 :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
