... And every cylinder pegged 190PSI EXACTLY on each cylinder.

Not bad for my little 130k B6.

However, I noticed that two spark plugs were crusted white. Looks like I prolly should look into getting my injectors cleaned and rebuilt.

That, and I am still chasing a mystical oil leakage from somewhere...

Oh, I am just talking to myself outloud, then typing it out, since you can't actually HEAR me talk to myself.

But I am proud of my little b6east

From the workshop manual:

1.6L B6 Compression:

1,324 kPa
13.5 kg/cm^2
192 psi


I'm hitting just about perfect on every cylinder

wow, I really need to get me a compression tester and see what i'm running at. That's impressive superk

Very nice. I did a test on mine around a month ago and I was at 150psi across the cylinders. I didn't think it was horrible for nearing 170k miles.

Did a compression test on my car,and it was 180psi right across .Its a 95 RS with 271K on it.lm thinking its not to bad for what l think is a high millage car?

Last compression test I did which was about a year ago, I was at around 180 in all cylinders. This is with over 3 years of boost so I was quite pleased.
