Low compression and flooding per the dealer

Well, I a first gen guy by heart, but one of the guys at work just got a TII from an auction and he is having the flooding problem when he turns the car off comes out next morning he has to pull the fuse to get it to start. Anyhow he started the conversation today with Just took my car to the dealer and they said I will be needing a new motor soon. Jeezzz does every dealer have to say that. Anyways they told him that the second rotor has low compressing and thats why he is having a flooding problem. <--- sounds like bs to me. they told him he had 80 psi in the 2nd rotor (assuming rear rotor). I dont believed they showed him the results. and they didnt give him results for each face of the rotor.

I just cant see low compression relating to a flooding problem. I'm guessing he just needs to get new injectors or get his injectors cleaned.

Compression

Fuel can cause low compression unlike oil which can increase compression. His problem though is due to leaking injectors. Needs to either have cleaned or replaced. Recommend before taking out to get a can of Bg's 44k and run thru with a 1/2 tank of fuel or less. In most cases the leaking injector problem will go away.
Even with only 80psi in the rear rotor the car will still run fine. the long term effects of leaking injectors will cause the deterioration of the A-pex seals.

yep, exactly what he said. we use the BG's 44k at my job (Infiniti dealership) and that **** is bad ***. definately give that a shot first, but no worry overall... this is a common s4 problem.
