Those compression numbers look REAL wrong to me.  I just bought an '85
Coupe GT two weeks ago, we did a compression test before I bought it (thte
guy was REAL nice!).  Anyway, All numbers were between 132 and 140 psi -
real strong.  My last motor, an '85 Jetta with 9:1 compression, was
135-140 between all cylinders.  I would be suspect of the cylinders that
are 100 psi.  

Don't have a Bentley yet for the for Audi (anyone got a used one they want
to sell? ;), but I would suspect those cylinders.  I don't know, I guess
if the Bentley says that's within spec, it should be ok, but that's not
been my experience, and Bentley's been wrong before.  Anyone else?
