Fault Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 So I was driving home one night after class, and about 10 maybe 15 mins into it I noticed my Conquest was missing. Managed to get it home since I was only about 1 mile from my home. Had work the next morning so I took the other car. Checked it the next day (Saturday) and found out I have 0 compression on Cylinder 2. No idea how it happened. And I'm not too experienced and honestly have no idea how to diagnose the cause of the failure or fix it. Not a good day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viper1355 Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Squirt some oil into the suspect cylinder and re-test. If compression goes up, the problem is usually rings. If it stays the same, you likely have a bad head gasket. If you suspect head gasket, also check the oil and coolant to see if they are contaminated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOSTED88tsi Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 0 comp in both is probably a head gasket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fault Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 So I rechecked all of my cylinders today, been busy and having some trouble. Cylinder one tested at 100 100 100, 2 at 110 110 110, 3 and 120 120 120, 4 at 110 110 110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAinsworth Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 Did you check them with all the spark plugs removed or just the one you were checking? You need to remove them all, hold the accelerator pedal all the way down, to do the proper compression check.Jimmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
