3.2 compression results

(1/2) > >>

Ulap31:
Hi all,
As most will remember had a lot of issues which turned out to be Head Gaskets gone.
It’s a 3.2 auto elite estate on a 52 plate.
It’s still not right and I’m getting 15-16 miles to the gallon.
Contacted serek who advised compression test so here goes.
Before new gaskets readings.
Num 1 8.0.bar 115 psi
Num 2 8.2 bar 120 psi
Num 3 7.5 bar 110 psi
Num 4 7.0 bar 100 psi
Num 5 11. bar 160 psi
Num 6 13. bar 190 psi

New head gaskets and 6,000 miles later

Num 1 14.5 bar 210 psi
Num 2 14.0 bar 200 psi
Num 3 13.5 bar 195 psi
Num 4 14.5 bar 210 psi
Num 5 13.5 bar 195 psi
Num 6 13.0 bar 190 psi
Any ideas would be appreciated as thinking of selling it as patience is running out now.

dave the builder:
check for any stored fault codes
check or have checked live data to see what the ECU and sensors are doing
that is what i would try

JamesV6CDX:
Those readings are fine , it’s something else

Is the cam belt set up properly?

Ulap31:
Good to see you back James. Cambelt been checked.
Codes 161,161,130 at moment.

BazaJT:
A quick look in the maintenance guide seems to show [if I'm reading them right] 130 as a fault with 02 sensor bank 1 sensor 1 and 161 as 02 sensor bank 2 sensor 2. others on here will obviously know much better than I do.HTH :y
