Hoping for some help on suspected Multiair failure.
Please excuse me if I have posted in the wrong section, it is a very long time since I used the site and struggling to navigate my round the site.
I have recently purchased a Punto evo 1.4 16v multiair and think the multiair unit has failed, the symptoms from the car are
Noticed whilst reversing excessive smoke from exhaust and shortly afterwards the engine check light came on (and then went off and on intermittently)
Had a dash message "stop/start unavailable"
The Rac recovery guy said he thought the Turbo had failed and the car was recovered to my local garage.
The garage did some checks and said he thought the turbo was ok but diagnosed no compression on cylinder 3 and his reader was a reporting a mis fire had been recorded.
Unfortunately my local garage said he did not usually get involved in engine strip downs and I am looking taking it elsewhere.
The engine is now running very rough and lumpy and being a layman at best with cars I am hoping someone can give me some pointers or advice
