It is the spark plug! Got loose and gives me a hell of troubles now! Very annoying that I could have prevented all of this sh--t if I just had tightened it up at the first sound it made. Another lesson learned!
But how come spark plugs that have been tight in place do get loose? At the last service I have handed new IRIDIUM plugs to the dealer. He gave them back to me, saying they do not need to be changed yet. Have they opened it and not tightened it properly afterwards? No way to find out now.
Now I will have to cut a new thread in the head for cylinder 3. And in the worst case do a full overhaul of the head. Grrrr
