Re: VW Polo - Cyl 3 Misfire **DIAGNOSED - ISH**
Craig Hewson
Ok so James and I had a good play with this car last night using WPS and completely failed to find any fault at both cranking and idle, both hot and cold. Eventually we noticed we could get the misfires counters to move for cylinder 3 if we held the revs at 4000rpm despite no obvious misfire, we put the WPS into each cylinder again and repeated the test at 4000rpm; cylinder 3 proved to have around 10 psi lower peak compression than the other two. Under heavy acceleration on the road I expect this difference will be even higher. I feel this has confirmed my logic that a strip down would be the next step forward, even though its not going to happen unfortunately!! Thanks Craig
