Almost had a heart attack this morning. Still searching for my dreaded misfire issue. Decided to remove blow off valve and return to stock intake setup in hopes that it is causing the issue. My eye caught the #1 coil and there was massive buildup of some oxidised something. Pulled the coil and water came pouring out of it. Looked into the hole and it was half filled with water. My heart sank, obviously some kind of leak somewhere and this is gonna be expensive. Dried it out to pull the plug but the plug is dry.... Looked up toward the bonnet and saw the window sprayer T joint... It's fucking broken, perished by the heat of the engine. Plugged in a new T and now all is good. Gonna go to the shops later and we'll see if there is still a misfire. This might have been leaking for a loong time but not heavily and now it finally became so bad I finally saw it. Holding thumbs!

Funny u say about the old t-piece snapping,noticed mines snapped at all three points about a week ago but seeing this has finally made me just order up a new one from eBay,haven't had any issues because of it though which is lucky.
Do you use your washer a lot? Use mine daily due to living next to a mill which makes fine corn dust cover my windshield. You're engine cover on or removed? Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk
Good little spot this, as the age now starts creeping up on these and with the plastic connectors immediately above hot engine especially if removed bonnet lagging they must now be getting nice and brittle and bound to fail. Doesn’t help it’s also right above coil pack either.
Never really use the washer at all tbh hence why I haven't bothered sorting it lol. And also yes I have removed the engine cover,anything to stop excess heat getting trapped under bonnet.
