Cylinder Compression Problems
Help! I have a 98 A4 1.8T, with cylinder pressures of 20,60,0,0 for cylinders 1-4 respectively. The cams align properly, as does the timing belt, there is no signs of a cracked head or blown head gasket, and the problem started as I was driving down the highway at 60 mph, with the cruise on. All of a sudden, the car started shaking and the check engine light began to flash on and off. Anyone have a similar experience where all of a sudden two cylinders go dead? Thanks, Bob

if that's PSI you have compression issues on all cylinders..
how many miles does your car have and are you sure your timing belt is tight? It sounds like a timing belt slip or tensioner failure damaging the valves causing the pressure issues.
