mine was fine at 60k then had it tuned by revo and put recommended plugs in and this is it after 1300 miles misfiring on cylinder 4 i have changed them again and swapped coils i think my engine is toast :(

oh and thanks for your input pal!

right ok thanks guys so where is the best place to get a decent second hand engine? can i fit a different engine code to my ecu? aka one thats had this problem sorted?

HI GUYS IM NEW HERE AND NEED SOME ADVICE. SO I BROUGHT A FABIA VRS FROM A SMALL DEALERSHIP IN BIRMINGHAM IN APRIL, IT HAD QUITE HIGH MILAGE BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET MYSELF A LOW MILAGE ONE. THE CAR HAS DRIVEN SPOT ON SINCE OWNING SO I GOT A REVO AIR FILTER AND SOFTWARE TUNE AND REVO RECOMMENDED NGK SPARK PLUGS FITTED AND DONE 1 MONTH AGO AND THEN TWO WEEKS AGO I HAD A MISFIRE UNDER LOAD SO PULLED THE COILS AND PLUGS OUT TO TAKE AS LOOK AND PLUG NUMBER 4 HAD BURNED THE GROUND ELECTRODE OUT COMPLETELY AND 1,2 AND 3 WHERE GOOD AS NEW. SO I CARRIED OUT A COMPRESSION TEST WHICH SHOWED CYLINDER 4 TO BE 10 PSI DOWN WHICH I DON'T BELIEVE TO BE TOO MUCH OF A PROBLEM SO I PUT SOME NEW GENUINE PLUGS BACK IN AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY FINE BUT I HAVE STARTED NOTICING THE ODD MISFIRE AND EXCESSIVE OIL BEING BURNED ALSO THE COOLANT SHOWS 90 AFTER ABOUT ONE MINUTE OF DRIVING WHICH IS QUICK! AND ALSO OTHER ISSUES ARE MY DASH CLUSTER IS ACTING FUNNY, WHEN I TURN TRACTION OFF THE COOLANT LIGHT COME ON ASWELL AND IF I INDICATE LEFT IT FLASHES WITH THE INDICATOR ALSO WHEN CRUISE CONTROL IS ON THE INDICATOR LIGHT UP FAINTLY. ANY ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED I DONT WANT TO BUY A COMPLETE NEW ENGINE AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN IF THERE IS A WAY TO REBUILD WITH BETTER NOT FORGED PARTS THEN THATS IDEAL IF NOT CAN I FIT A NEWER ENGINE ON THE SAME ECU? MANY THANKS NICK

i want some of these what are they off of?
