Flat_Steve Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 Started up my car (1.8 Si) this morning, and it ran fine for the first three miles until it warmed up, then started hesitating quite badly, like as if I was running out of fuel. Tried it later on and it was ok until it warmed up again, though it seemed to go away for a while, until driving home from work and it was the same. Anyone had this happen to them? Any ideas? (Fuel filter perhaps? It's 4 yrs old). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat_Steve Posted February 26, 2003 Author Share Posted February 26, 2003 Just found out what it was. Pulled the plug leads out and it looked like a swimming pool Water has been leaking through the cossie vents onto the head and down the plug holes. Not good.
