Need to know what else could possibly be wrong...

as posted in a different thread earlier...my TSI's engine got water inside...can anyone school me on what could possibly be wrong in full...i read about a blown head gasket and that i should get a compression test...anyone else have any advice on what else could be messed up from the water?

A blown headgasket is the only way water could get in your motor. Do a compression test and get back with us. It cost about 20 dollars for a shop to do a compression test so you could probably buy your own compression tester and do it yourself for that price.

ok i will do...can i ask why to get a compression test? what am i looking for?

You want to have a compression test preformed because the head gasket holds the pressure between the engine block and the head. If the head gasket has failed then the there will be a compression loss at or around the cylinder where the gasket failed. If you do have very low compression in a specific cylinder or in all, then your head gasket is blown, which would also explain the coolant in the engine because the gasket has coolant passages running through it.
