    We've got a 2001 VW Passat TDi lying in the workshop waiting for the insurance man. The customer didn't give the full story about crossing to Holy Island and getting caught up with the tide and helping someone out. Result water ingress to put it mildly. It didn't kill the motor but did hydraulic it. It came in knocking it's tits off and both scope and KTS pointed to number one cylinder low compression.. or words to that effect. Major job to remove the whole front end of the vehicle before you start to remove the head or the engine.

    Head removed pistons at different levels. Thank God for experienced blokes who have dismantled engines. Never mind the diagnostic side of things, you need more than that.
