Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 5Original post
so what are acceptable #'s for compression and leakdown tests?
POST 6Original post
I've never tested a P-car but in general I consider <5% leak is very good, <10% is acceptable, >10% is worn, and >15% needs a rebuild.
