My car is losing anti-freeze, every time i check it i have to add about .5 to 1 litre. Compression test shows #1 @135, #2 @115, #3 @125, #4 @125. Hydrocarbon test showed no hydrcarbons in the antifreeze. We put some dye in it, when we put a UV light on the car where ever it is leaking should glow, the only thing glowing was the hose from the overflow jug to the ground.The engine oil does not move at all and it changes color normally. New thermostat, new 12 PSI rad cap, lower rad hose, in-line heater(no block heater). The turbo only puts out 10.2 PSI in all gears at any speed. Do the turbos have antifreeze going through them, could it be going out the turbo into the exhaust system, if so that might explain why my turbo only puts out 10.2 PSI.

Blown headgasket

Ditto that - blown HG. Under compression the HG might still be sealing itself and is only sucking in coolant under high manifold vacuum which would explain the loss of coolant but lack of HC content. You would be burning oil from the turbo before any coolant could escape so I think it is probably fine.

I put on about 5,000kms but I took a 13 hour road trip, and notice since then the antifreeze is haveing alot of small bubbles, allmost foaming. So now I actually have some kind of proof of the head gasket is gone. Bet you that when i do a HC test now there will be lots. Going to try and get it fixed.

Head gasket was fine. Head was warped five thou. All better now.
