Default True or false - engine found to have missing piston?

'err, i think we've found your misfire, madam..' - VZi, the UK's largest VW forum, community and sales

Saw this on another forum. What do we think?

I want to know where the hell it went, how it didn't put the rod through the block and where is the damage to the rod and bore

It can't have been running like that because surely it would have been throwing oil out of the exhaust valves

That's awful, all that wasted road tax for a 1.4 when it clearly was a 1.05 all along

My BMW 325i Sport 'Gangsta En-It' lost a piston but I had no clue until I realised it was a bit down on power but that could be the German engineering being so damn spotless

I rolling roaded my scooby with a buggered piston and we never knew either

330bhp and 390lbft on 3 pistons FTW
