hi there. im really starting to grasp at straws here with my car. there is a pretty considerable lack of power while driving it. its a 1997 A4 1.8t with
119000km on it.i took it in to a turbo specialist (that i was told to go to by my warranty company - and thats another story) and he said the turbo is fine. i doubt theres a problem with the cat, its got a new air filter and new spark plugs.
what i wanted to know - because i am really new to all this stuff - is will a compression test be easy to be done on a 1.8T engine? or do i need a specialist to do it? on a sidenote - the car is starting to leak oil - and they are in the process of finding out from where.
also - does anyone know if a compression problem could lead to the kind of power loss im talkin bout?
