Bent plug tips and misfires

Ok..so....an update......my battery is currently charging....did compression test on four of the six cylinders...3 has no compression at all....the gauge just twitches...every other one has checked out fine...gonna go back out in a bit and finish the test....
 


Ok..another small update....checked two and four.....they are weaker than one and five..but are leaps and bounds better than three.....it has a pretty good oil leak from the back valve covers....don't know if that would have anything to do with it....
 
you chipped your pistons, its over johnny...

when you have smashed spark plugs 9 times out of 10 you lost a piston. in your case maybe 3 pistons.
 
yup number 3 is gone, pull the heads off and learn how to take these cars apart and take pcis for us then get another engine.
 


I had plugs that looked like that once. My TSI leaned out hardcore and melted them.

I lucked out and "only" fried the rings.

you would have to have your stock pcm re tuned.

may even look into a cam and headers while its out and apart, if you dont have any goodies yet:D
