Good they are replacing the engine, but what they said makes no sense. It's odd to have 2 cylinders not next to each other go at the same time ( 2 and 3 or 3 and 4are more likely). If both dry and wet compression are low or non existent, then that means it is not the pistons or rings, it is the valves or heads that are the problem. I would have thought they would have noticed this while replacing the rings.



You have my sympathy. Hope they come good with a loaner.

Thanks, like I said I'm a finance man not clued up with these sort of things. i just know it sounds bad. Lucky for me I am flying overseas for 4 weeks holiday so hopefully when I return early in January my car will be fixed, that is the one reason I am not actually to fussed about a loaner because today is my last day of work. Really cant wait to get on a plane and forget about my car, my bike(Also getting fixed).

Cheers

It's not uncommon to have to fly in a new motor - the overseas manufacturers dont tend to keep whole engines sitting in storage as it's not that common to have to replace a whole motor (so the cost isnt worth it - just pay air shipping when required!)

My mums BMW had a replacement shipped in from Germany when the previous owner flooded it (with water). Took about a fortnight for the whole job.
