looking at buying this car, mechanic informs me ZERO compression on cylinder 3 but cylinders 1,2 and 4 all show 150 psi, cars only done 58000 and is a 2004 plate. Looking for common faults i.e burnt value or blown head gasket. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi I just wanted to pick some minds, I got a clio 1.2 16v , got about 75k miles on it, running bad, I have done a compression check, cylinder 1 is low compression, others are ok. Are there any common causes of low compression on 1 cylinder ? the car has had a headgasket change done last year. I...

Hi! I did a compression test on my Clio 1.2 8v, the results are the following: Dry: 190 180 200 200 Psi (gearbox this side) Wet: 300 270 270 300 Is this mean that all of my piston rings are worn? Isn't this a "little" extreme? I'm just curious because the dry tests are not bad at all, and...

I was always told it's best to learn the hard way,,,,,, I was having a trouble getting the tdc on the meg 1.5dci, The pin was going in the tdc hole just before 12 or just after, i put it in just before, as when i tightened up the pulley clockwise any play would have gave me tdc. It took a while...

Hi, just wondering what the compression should be on a new build 2002 1.2 Clio 8 valve (I did look but couldn't find it on line). My car has done almost 108,000 miles and I'm wondering what compression it's lost. On a dry test, after 3 turns of the engine I got 12.5 bar (180 to 185 psi ) from...

I have done a compression on my renault megane 1.4 2003 and I got 120 psi in cylinders 1 and 2 and 0 in 3 and 4 I think head gasket has gone between them but thought I would ask before I start taking the engine apart

I want to carry out a compression test on my 1.9 dci prior to removing the head to determine which piston has low compression. I have done loads of compression tests on petrol engines but not on a dci. I have an adapter to fit the glow plug hole and will remove all four glow plugs and unplug...

Hi All I am new forums. A little help and guidance in using this tool will also be greatly appreciated. I have a 2006 Renault Scenic 2.0 auto. My wife drove it on the freeway when suddenly an alarm went of and the car displayed a stop message on the dash. She drove to the next off ramp where...

Hi peeps. I got given my dads 2001 megane 1.6 petrol. The other week out of the blue it loses power and flashes up the eml. Driving it seemed like it was off on a pot. Took it into the garage i work at (i wash cars there) and they link it up and it reads 02 sensor at fault. But as there was a...

Hi, I bought a cheap 40 quid compression tester from ebay to do a test on a Clio 1.5 DCi engine. I have removed the glow plugs but have found the compression tester socket too short for me to screw into the glow plug hole!! I can only just get my fingers onto the end and screw it in a bit, but...

I have only had my Scenic (2001 y reg) about 4 weeks and when my wife was driving down to Stansted Airport when the dreaded exhuast gas emissions warning light came on. A quick look up on here suggested probably a worn ignition coil. She limped the last couple of miles to the airport and on...
