double-6s 0 Posted December 12, 2005 after a week solid of apparently running on 5 cylinders my vr is now back on the full compliment of 6. can anyone explain this???........ could have sworn it was a spark problem - did the plugs, leads and coil pack. nothing. was beggining to think it must be a fekked cylinder oiling up the spark plug. was contemplating new engine. then today i had to absolutely rag the arse off it joining the m25 (slight error of judgement) and all of a sudden....... BANG..... we're off on all 6 again. it's now running better than since i've had it! WTF????? any ideas anyone? someone mentioned it could be a 'sticky ring'?? (oi oi) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

double-6s 0 Posted December 12, 2005 bcstudent, dramatic effect mate. it just cleared all of a sudden. now this is gonna sound strange, but i'm sure i felt my steering get a bit lighter at the same time, as if a bit more assistance had arrived??? coil pack Supercharged, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted December 12, 2005 mine used to do the same,would run on 5 cylinders then all of a sudden it would clear,it seem like oil would burn off the spark plug,on mine no.6 was the one that would break down the most Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
