Hope everyone’s been enjoying the sunshine! ☀️ We’ve been flat out lately, here’s one of the jobs that came in 👇

This 2.0D Ford Transit came to us running very poorly… classic crank but no start. Sounded like it had zero compression, so first thought = snapped wet belt 😱

After digging deeper… wet belt was actually intact and timed perfectly ✅️

Compression test told a different story though, cylinders 2 & 3 had little to no compression ❌️

Head off… and there it was 💡💡💡
Blown head gasket between the cylinders.

Full repair carried out:
✔️ Head gasket
✔️ Radiator
✔️ Glow plugs
✔️ Wet belt kit
✔️ Sump/cover
✔️ New bolts, seals & gaskets
✔️ Full service

✅️ All genuine Ford parts ✅️

Back together and running spot on 🔧

Another Transit saved and back on the road for many more miles 🚖💨

Audi Q3 1.4 TFSI came in to us on a recovery truck due to a petrol leak. These engines have a common problem on fuel rail bolts coming loose over time and damages the injector seals (incorrect torque settings from factory??? 🤔). If you have one of this engine, make sure to get this one check before it cause some serious damage. New genuine injector seals fitted and bolts torqued to specification. ✅️
