[T3] Low Compression

["Lauren Shaw" <lauren_swim@hotmail.com>]

Hi all,

Well I drive a '71 Squareback...and I just got it back from taking it in to 
a shop to get it all checked out. I've only owned it for about a month. The 
guy said for the most part it's in great shape...but the compression is low 
in cylinder 3 (55lbs). He didn't tell me why that would be...and I'm not 
exactly sure what that means. I'm taking the car down to LA on Friday (from 
near Sacramento), and he said I should just get it checked again when I get 
down there, to figure out the problem and get it fixed. Any suggestions/ 
warnings before I make the trek. And any possible explanations of what he's 
talking about would be great...I'm learning about owning a VW...but I'm 
still pretty much car-engine illiterate.

Thanks a bunch!!

Lauren
