    Compression check after the Eng Refresh service.
    Full data has been forwarded to the owner.

    Yes, I’m biased because I have carried out the engine refresh on
    this engine, but still,
    really pleased with the result.

    So much better than before and all six cyl really close each other.

    The ABS reservoir was below low level when it arrived at my place.

    The system was activated almost every time when the car was about to stop
    due to faulty signal from the wheel speed sensor.

    This resulted in aerated fluid back in the accumulator and eventually, it overflowed
    from the reservoir resulting in low fluid

    Possibly, some debris and moisture got inside as there were several bits held in the filter.


    Fortunately, I had spare cap so replaced it.
