[QUOTE="anxious, post: 206332, member: 193"] Well guys I have some sad news. I had noticed a slight vibration in my car when the acr was in D or P stationary. The exhaust also had a very slight rattle. Me being the fuss port I am asked my mechanic to do anor modic test. The test showed vanos solenoid but I had already changed that. Then he did a compresseion test which revealed that one of the cylinder has low compression ...about 70psi. The others all are about 140-150. He then told me the only way to find out what is wrong with the engine is by opening itup and checking whether:- i) the head gasket is gone ii I have a bad valve iii) cylinder head crack(wrost case scenario) Apart from the minor vibration, probably due to the said cylinder I had no other problems. No overheating and no oil in the water and no loss of coolant. I guess the previous owner lack of maintainance has reared its ugly head. [/QUOTE]
