    Well I got the report from them and passed in on to Gavin (thanks mate), and to quote:

    "The bit that you missed off your post on the forum is the most critical. The last 2 lines, compression test, 60PSI.

    That's extremely low. A good cylinder would be 160-180 PSI. "

    So I'm going to get it down to VW and hope they can come to the party and help me on a repair...

    sounds like ignition leads or spark plugs. common fault for 77tsi should only be a few hundred to fix. I had similar issue

    That won't give you low compression on one cylinder mate.

    Yes, that is a rather strong indication that the repair costs are going to be quite large (a piston and ring replacement at the least).
    Putting up the full report in your original post would have helped for getting the correct advice.

    Best of luck with how you go getting compensation from VW

    True that, but I didn't have it at the time!

    Thanks, contacted Austral VW and they said it will be about $1000 to diagnose it and could be $6000+ to fix. They said they would ask VW Aus to cover it but it's out of their hands whether they do
