exactly. my old EP3 was something like 180 180 175 180. still within range and considered good condition.
it only done 27000km when i sold it.
tell the buyer to fxxk off.
So something like 200 192 192 200 would be considered alright?
My EG5 build "Try to move in with a hot easy gurl. I've got a mate who does his house mate when he gets drunk. This way you can cure some of the loneliness and also save $$$ on prosties. Just remember to act like nothings happened the next day because if you get attached your laterz mate."
He is just trying to lowball you. Who the **** would complain about the health of an engine of a car and then still proceed with negotiations? If all 4 cylinders checked out to be 185 then you have a perfectly healthy engine. It's only if you have something like 185 185 185 200. That you should be worrying.
Btw, part out your Mugen wing to me for cheaper and then you can sell your EP3 for cheaper!
i got so many sms and calls today lol might just sold the car tonight
question whether u guys can help oui,does the compression for a 80000+km done ep3 with 185 on average normal?just been complained that I'm selling dodgy car from a customer and very not happy cuz he said will buy the car and then he said since compression is way below 200 so he asked to reduce price,I'm doing 17.5k already,fkn piss me off
As long they are consistent numbers with no more than 5% difference of each cylinder, it's healthy. Different gauges tell different numbers just like dyno figures. It's the consistency that's the most important.
My prefacelift measured 210 all round with 65,000km on the clock. (2002 model)
My facelift measured 180ish alround with 27,000km as per Phil's post. (2005 model)
However, facelift does not burn oil. Prefacelift needs topping up time to time.
Figures can also vary with the way compression test is conducted. Some mechanics does this on WOT, and some don't. Some take out all the plugs, and some does it one by one. It can also change due to engine temperature. A cold engine may give different readings to a hot engine.
