Technical How to look inside cylinder 1.9 TD

[Kev_marea]

I am now concerned that the water might have filled up one of the cylinders overnight. If this was a petrol car I would just remove a sparkplug and take a look inside.

I am new to diesel engines, is there any way I can look into the cylinders? How about removing the injectors along the top? - too difficult? Fuel would need to be bled?

remove a glow plug might be easier.. and turn engine very slowly using a socket on the crank pulley. but why do you suspect this ? You've a badly cracked head or gasket if this is the case..
