You should only look at it as a comparison between cylinders rather than the actual number. If you use a different gauge it will be different. The fact ones higher rather than lower tells me all is well mate.

I'm glad you posted those values I done a compression test on a 1.8t AWT engine and got 160, 160, 160 and 165 psi or 11.03 bar 1-3 and 11.37 bar on cyl no 4. Good comparison figures. 109,000 miles or so on mine. :thumbup:
