Re: Compression
if they're saying 200 is the reading in all 6 cylinders they're either lying or that engine has abnormally high compression. ~170 is what i thought was normal

Re: Compression
a word of advice, get the warranty!! for 80 bucks, you cant go wrong for 2 years of free engine work if anything goes wrong.

Re: Compression
Thanks fellows, i would never get one of these without the warranty, i think i will just replace it with another 1.8l as i can't buy any additional warrany on the other ones.<p>
