2002 5spd Jetta wagon with 255k mi. Lost power coming up hill and there is no compression in #1 cylinder. I got the car used with 165xx miles and have been running Malone 1.5 with 1019 injectors set up by Drivebywire for about 75k mi.
Had timing belt replaced at 250k.
Car just lost power, no bad noise, was dark so I could not see if smoke. Car runs with no smoke, just major miss. Compression test shows very low, 20psi? or so. Just enough to move the gauge.
I expect bad valve or piston. Anyone have a prediction and a suggested course of action? What am I looking at cost wise? Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Archie
