Default RS ownership sometimes just SUCKS....

Had a slight missfire last week, changed and checked most things no joy, went out today to test again, started missing worse....

Now i have 3 issues....

Missfire is very bad from 2-3k fine till 4 (not revd any higher)
Tick's over @ 2k
Header tank split down a weld seam...

Now the missfire could either be the water spraying onto the electrics

Or the missfire is down to a bad airleak.

All gauges read fine, no errors on pectel...

So the fucker gets stripped down AGAIN tomorrow LOL.....

Could be anything

ANY tuned car or even a standard car can have issues like this not just RS's

Could be head gasket at worse case
