hi

i have a fabia 1.2 htp which has started running roughly and using oil, the garage checked it out, and said i have no compression on No 3 cylinder, is this a common problem, and is it likely to be expensive? thanks.

Common problem, yes! 

Valves, valve guide ...

 

modell?

kilometer?

year?

 

- register/camshaft chain to after some km.

 

Someone else can tell you more, price and so on....

I live in Norway and Sweden. 

Dobble price on everything. Most in Norway....

Valve guide wear leading to valve failure.

hi, thanks it is 2003 1.2 htp 120000 miles

does sound expensive

looks like trip to scrap

Possibly, I bought my polo that way to fix myself being a mechanic so I ended up with a cheap car, even then I don't think I'd do it again, it's abit of a chew on of a job because of the timing chain so you basically have to strip the full engine down till your just left with a sump and block

Do you have a picture off the spark plugs? 1 2 3 ....

They say a little...
