SuperK did a compression test on his B6...

Post by SuperK »

... 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

I'm hitting just about perfect on every cylinder :love:

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.

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.
