its very low on third (as usual) indeed.

Its not new rings you need its a new piston because it will be cracked.
Dont drive it like it is otherwise you run the risk of damaging the block and you may need a re-bore or new block.

ooh my god
so now rings + pistons
Unfortunatley mate, you would probably get away with 1 piston and just new rings on it, de-glaze the bore and then run the ring in.
Whilst its open though 4 new pistons would be better for piece of mind.

hmm cracking a piston ringland comes for various reasons.
mostly its old (bad-treated usually too) internals that go off with high boost and/or running lean.

Probably a combination of all 3 mate.
Running lean will cause too much heat in the cylinders which can cause the ringlands to crack, detonation also comes with running too lean and too much boost will make it run lean and cause lots of extra heat in the cylinders.
But from my experience and from cracking more pistons than you can count on all your fingers it is primarily down to, too much boost.

i think im running lean
+ high boost
1.2 bar but may plan to set it at 1 bar ... maybe forgot and liked the power
Same symptoms, different piston... and a few miles away from where I live is
an appropriately named road...
Sorry mate!
alf
no worries mate
just ordered now piston + rings
they r cheap
but wht will kill me tha labour charge
i feel very sad because just yesterday cleaned my engine bay and did agood wash

you just cant expect the pistons to last for ever if they have do 16 -20 years work they are prone to give up at one stage and thats probably when you up a bit the boost but running lean would help too altough in your case i would think its the boost eh@b that killed the piston + probably had run on high boost on the standard manifold (maybe not by you but by previous owner) thats what is known to kill the 3rd piston
