Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

It would require a strip down and I believe new liners can be installed, but you would need to check with a specialist.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just a curio on this, not a symptom I'm suffering from but I saw a bargain cabrio with a cracked liner for sale - still runs (well for a bit anyway). Guess its a rebuild on the engine, so that's gotta be 5K starting position - or is there a liner only fix option for a single cylinder I wonder? Also what is there a knock on damage implication for a cracked liner (excepting the obvious piston issues)? Any thoughts? Ta. J

POST 2Original post

Think I saw the same car advertised online last week. I would like to know how they have diagnosed the fault with evidence of an inspection report. It would require a strip down and I believe new liners can be installed, but you would need to check with a specialist. Early diagnosis should be repairable, but it could lead to failure if cylinder wall breaks apart. Symptoms? Loss of power, possible oil/water contamination and maybe blue smoke on start-up and acceleration. It would require a trailer on purchase to lessen any risks on the way home!

POST 3Original post

Phone the guys at Hartech This is a minimum 7 k job but a previous person said it would need a full strip down I have a similar problem. They have to drop the engine and remove the Heads which is going to cost about 2k + Vat including rebuild New Heads 2k each minimum REgards

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for that chaps - not going ahead anyway (well not today anyway!). Richardjjs, appreciate you are a big Hartech fan, and their reputation is excellent, but there are other repairers out there as well, not as expensive either! I tend to fly the flag for Autofarm in Oxford and Northway in Reading - both know their stuff!
