Hello Rob, The recommended way to check compression is to remove all plugs before carrying out this procedure so the engine spins freely. As Cliff says 110psi is too low. Well worth repeating with the above procedure and you may find you get higher readings. Kind regards, Gareth.2 points

The process on my wife's Skoda is: - press the LOCK button, all doors and boot lock, - press the UNLOCK button once, only the driver's door unlocks, - press the UNLOCK button twice, all doors and boot unlock, -press the BOOT button, only the boot unlocks. It relocks itself on closure.1 point

Regarding the passenger door lock: it is common in some VAG models for that door and the boot to require a double press of the key fob. It's a security feature to prevent unwanted strangers jumping into the car.1 point

Hello Charles, I live in South Wales and take my Audi S7 to R-Tec of Swansea 01792 897575 They have just moved to a new workshop facility in Gorseinon, Swansea and its an impressive set up. They do all Germen cars and high performance vehicles, but they specialise in Audi's. They do get busy and so if you need to book your car in, dont delay too long Regards Chris1 point

Definitely a tough one. My poor A6 has now sat nearly 2 years. As I say it's the coding nonsense that's the problem. Gone are the days where you fit any engine you like unfortunately1 point

Thanks Gareth, anny suggestions re welcome at this stage so will make that my first mission just to be certain. I think i will probably sell it to someone with more time/tools/experience on their hands but naturally want to be open about the condition of the poor thing! Shame really, 'twas (still is) a glorious wagon! Cheers! Rob,

Tom. 110 psi seems a bit low for a modern engine, so I think it likely your valve stems are bent. The only way to be certain is to remove the heads and valves, then roll the stems on a flat surface. Any bend will be immediately obvious. An increase in compression after putting some oil in the bore usually indicates a busted ring, so your problems may be worse than you think.0 points
