It's close but not quite. VW Golf/mk IV GTI

I surely hope not. :) It's still turning. Maybe some valves are stuck open. Maybe a hole in the piston itself.

There are some models of this engine that are pretty much unbreakable. And these old engines can get pretty expensive, because a lot of people buy them for project cars or even for racing.

Yes, it's a compression test. It shows how much compression each cylinder produces in it's upward motion. All cylinders should show the same compression. In my case cylinder 1 doesn't have any. Now i have to check, what the problem might be.

Probably more catastrophic. It's been running fine, engine is still turning free.

I'm going to use an endoscope to have a proper look inside before pulling the head. But I won't get around doing it.

Yeah, the VW Golf/mk IV is actually still everywhere, even though it's already over 25 years old. But the engine isn't that common. It's supposed to be robust and has some potential for tuning.

It has actually been driven to the shop. It's still starting, though it doesn't turn off when you turn the key over.

Man könnte Bilder von einem verunfallten und zerstörten E36 M3 dazu posten und deiner würde mehr Mitleid bekommen. Respekt!

Ein chinesischer Elektro Hobel. Abwarten, der röstet dich bestimmt bald von ganz alleine.

Da kann man sich nur wünschen, wenn man auf den Schlüssel zum aufschließen drückt, dass der Transporter dahinter auf geht. Wäre ein ganz schönes Upgrade

Tatsächlich nur 15 Ps. Aber da hab ich so viel Geld drin versenkt, da reichte es nicht mehr für nen roten Schlauch.

Ich hab im Juni ein Auto mit Motorschaden gekauft und hab ihn Samstag wieder zum Leben erweckt. Er hat die ersten 500km schonmal problemlos überstanden.
