An employee of mine has a 1992 Jetta TD that sprung a leak in the #1 cylind=
er injector line.  He tied a rag around the injector line so he could get i=
t to the wrecker's to find a replacement line.  It was basically running on=
 three cylinders until he got the car home and replaced the leaking line.  =
When he installed the new line, he started the engine, and he now says it i=
s making a "banging" sound (I have not heard the car running, so I can't de=
scribe it better).  He also says it smokes a lot more than normal.  Could h=
e have done any serious damage to the engine running it on three cylinders =
for 100 km?  I have no theories as to what might be wrong.  Any and all sug=
gestions are welcome.  For the record, the car has 450 000 km on it.  Car r=
an strong before this happened.
