  • oil in cylinder? DS3-R & also pinking occasionally?

    I've noticed Cyl number 2 has got oil around the base where the plug sits, nothing major however at its 2nd service interval, I've changed the plugs myself and noticed this on only this cylinder.

    The rest are a bit sooty which isn't overly bad for what I'm used to with Cosworths and RS Turbo's I've had. AFR and power is bang on with the car on both a MAHA and Dyno Dynamics dyno check with my local tuner I use.

    It looks like its not getting past the seal on the plug, but then again it could be very slightly getting in from somewhere and causing something with the ignition on occasion.

    I've had the occasional stutter/pinking from it, very hard to replicate. Could it be the PCV valve is playing its cause in this and maybe just a gasket needing done under warranty, or is this the sign of something else? Never came across this on the THP175's before on 207's so this is really a new one for me!

    Anyone else experience the same?

    Check your fuel pressures, and a compression test might be a good move here...

      I have oil only on the rocker cover, but that's because the PCV pipe connection leaks...

        Compressions bang on Jamie, I think the PCV pipe on the timing side rear of engine had a small air leak from it, I can hear it when it's warmed up but doesn't lose performance? Could this be doing something and pushing the oil back?

          I know the O rings can swell on that pcv pipe making them hard to push back on without ripping the O ring.
