Title: Max Cylinder Compression 2.0 AGG
Post by: Gti_Jamo on 24 October 2011, 20:10

Could someone with the knowledge, or the haynes manual, give me the maximum cylinder compression in pounds per square inch for my Mk3 Gti 2.0 8v AGG engine so i can do a compression test before I take it out the car.

Thanks.

J.

Yeah think your right. And any manufacturers spec would be minimum compression so ive been told. Checked them today anyway and they are all spot on so should be fine.
