<div class="bbWrapper">Hi Guys <br />
Wondering if you could point me in the right direction. <br />
<br />
I had my turbo leak oil into my engine and it had the " Diesel engine runaway" for around 5 secs until it stopped. <br />
<br />
After inspection my Injector tips were burnt and the car had low compression on cylinder 1.<br />
<br />
Does the engine need to come out to get the head off ? <br />
<br />
The car turns over fine with no knocks or metal contact but have not tried starting it with the new injectors and turbo.</div>
W204 C220 Coupe Low Compression engine out ?

<div class="bbWrapper">Welcome<br />
<br />
I am sure the head will come off without removing the engine , has someone tried to tell you otherwise?</div>
<div class="bbWrapper">Hello Thanks for your reply.<br />

a Mechanic at a garage in London however i have seen people change timing chains with the engine still in so im really not sure. I would of thought it would have to come out because of the timing gear being at the back.</div>
