Hello
I have a 1992 405 GL 1.6 , which has pretty poor performance.
Apparently compression is low on a couple of cylinders, does anyone know if this is common and what it is caused by (valve, piston ring, gasket etc)
It gas a solex carb which i have heard is poor.
It has bad fuel economy too.
Basically any help will be greatly appreciated

anyway i have a 405 GL and it also lacks performacne ! but is the compression so low !? does the car over heats , coolant mixed with oil ? misses when engine is loaded ! ?
