B6 a4 3.0 no start... weird compression readings...
Hey guys, I'm having some problems with this A4 I just purchased. I bought it not running. It cranks, almost fires but it doesn't quite get there. It has spark, and fuel. Starting fluid does nothing. I did a compression test and here are my results.
Drivers side head:
180
180
180
Passenger side head:
122
121
123
I heard the compression is supposed to be at 150PSI. Why the heck is it at 180? I don't have any timing codes. Anyone know what might cause the no start? Or the high compression?
Also, this is the 3.0L V6.
