1.8T compression check?

Newb here, looking to purchase a used B5. I would like to do a compression check, and need to know what the spec is. Thanks for any advice.

Right around 185 is normal.

I agree with Mike. I've seen 150-190, which is pretty typical of most 4 cylinders. As long as they are all reasonably close across the board, you should be ok.
