I did the compression twice on each cylinder so its defo correct

I would but im sick of wasting time on it plus the turbo looks awful to take off on car then on top il need to drop subframe and fit a dpf so Id rather just do everything in one go and slot dpf in before refitting engine instead of fitting a turbo to then realize its still missing etc

Hi again, started pulling the head off and found the hot side of turbine on turbo has completely snapped off but isnt leaking oil so removed the downpipe and it fell out. Ive found a complete engine but the engine code is CAYK and mine is a CAYC, will it still be good to fit? looks the same but maybes internals are different or slightly different compression ratios or something? its from another fabia but from a 12 reg where mine is a 11

thanks guys so looks like ill need to find a engine, I thought the compression was ok as they were all similar but far from a diesel expert as you can tell. just when I unplug number 4 it makes zero difference to the running id think it would still make a change to the engine note when unplugged even at that compression? too far gone to even fire?

the glow plug from number 4 was soaked in diesel aswell when I removed, even when unplugged when running its still throwing smoke out, maybes I need to run it longer with 4 unplugged and see if the fuel in exhaust etc burns off and clears then it might point to it being a electric fault

I did, from memory the other 3 were around 140-160psi and number 4 was a little less at 130psi

hello, recently bought a mk2 fabia estate 1.6 tdi cr105 2011 to use as a work horse cheap as its not running correctly. Its puffing white smoke out exhaust which stinks of unburnt fuel, is in limp mode and is misfiring. When you unplug the injectors one by one they all make it run worse apart from cylinder 4 which seems to make no differences and looks like number 4 is a brand new injector. So I removed 4 injectors from a good running 1.6 fabia and coded them in and it actually make it run worse so removed them again and coded back into the original car and they ran perfect so looks like its not a injector fault. Its also had what I think is the dpf removed (the first cat is there right after the turbo its the next part thats missing just after subframe) and must of been done recently as the pipe they welded in looks brand new. Its also had the new software updade as I checked and there is zero codes on car. guessing the new injector and dpf removal was the last guy trying to find what the fault is but unsure if the dpf is mapped out and id of thought it'd of thrown a fault code up if its not. Any ideas what it could be or where to look next? il buy a 2nd hand dpf if I can get it running
