Leak down results

hoshy · 13-02-2013, 05:19 PM

Hi chaps,

Csl was recently in with BMW for some body repairs and with it recently passing 100k and all the recent talk of head gasket issues I asked for a leak down test.

Results are as follows:

Cyl 1 - 3%
Cyl 2 - 6%
Cyl 3 - 5%
Cyl 4 - 4%
Cyl 5 - 6%
Cyl 6 - 3%

From what I've read online that sounds like a good engine still but thought it would be good to compare - anybody else got numbers?

In other news - brand new bumper and bonnet, including cf aero bits looks drool worthy stunning :D

Cheers,
Ashley

In a way they look a bit too good - wondering if the test was botched. Saw some "good" S54 numbers that were in the low 20s.

How long does this take to do / cost (rough)

181 euros in my case. But to be honest you should find it cheaper!
