As a follow up to the pressure when cold thread, I had a compression test done.Starting from the cylinder closest to the cam belt:
210 psi
210 psi
201psi
216psi
Do these sound ok?

Yeah, they are absolutely fine.However, on these engines quite often a compression test doesn't show up a failing head gasket as they tend to go on the edge of the water jacket as opposed to between cylinders, unless they fail completely. Try running the engine with the rad cap off and see if there are any bubbles in the coolant. Alternatively, get a sniff test done. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
