Compression Measurement in the Engine, Diagnosis at the Auto Service.
Decreased engine compression is one of the reasons for the loss of vehicle power. If the vehicle has become harder to start or you notice increased fuel and oil consumption, you need to measure the engine compression level at the service station immediately. Measuring this indicator is the simplest method for diagnosing wear in the cylinder-piston mechanism. The obtained data are compared with nominal values, thus identifying malfunctions in the cylinder.
By contacting the professionals at the auto service "PRO.CTO," you can order affordable and professional compression measurement for cars. We have special equipment for determining the pressure level in the cylinders of diesel and gasoline engines.

When is it Necessary to Measure Compression?
A decrease in compression levels in the cylinders directly affects engine performance. If you notice the following problems with the vehicle, you should immediately contact a service station for quality diagnostics and repairs:
- 1. The car won't start. Interruptions when starting the car, as well as failures in the operation of other mechanisms, signal a malfunction in the engine. To determine the level of the problem, you need to measure the compression immediately.
- 2. Increased fuel consumption. If you notice a rapid increase in the amount of fuel or oil consumed, accompanied by black smoke from the exhaust, contact the auto service immediately.
- 3. Unusual noises. Loud bangs or pops occur while driving the car. Ignoring these issues may lead to significant future expenses and threatens the safety of both the driver and passengers, as well as other road users.
Methods of Measuring Engine Compression
Our auto service specialists measure compression both with the throttle open and closed. Each method provides its own results and helps identify specific defects. When measuring with the throttle closed, you can diagnose the following engine defects:
● head gasket leaks;
● cracks in the combustion chamber wall;
● non-wear of the camshaft lobe, etc.
In such measurements, the pressure will be low, and the air level in the cylinders minimal (11-13 bar). As a result, the mechanism becomes particularly sensitive to the slightest air leaks, causing the compression level to drop rapidly.

Conversely, when measuring with the throttle open, the compression level will drop more slowly. This method helps to identify more significant engine failures, such as:
● piston defects;
● extensive cylinder damage;
● valve deformation, etc.
Compression in new cars or vehicles in ideal condition should meet the level specified by the manufacturer in the vehicle's technical specifications.
