S5 Compression Readings

Greetings, everyone!

I am experiencing misfires on all cylinders in bank 2 of my 2008 S5 4.2 B8.

Bank 1 is free from misfires and operates normally. I have conducted a compression test and here are the findings...


The pressure is between 1 and 150 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure range is from 2 to 150 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure range is from 3 to 150 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure range is from 4 to 150 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure range is from 5 to 220 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure is 215 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure is 185 pounds per square inch (psi).

The pressure range is 8 to 225 pounds per square inch (psi).

I am perplexed. Is bank 2 exhibiting elevated compression? If so, what is the underlying reason of high compression?

Thank you.

The V8 engine has carbon buildup on the valves, which might potentially result in reduced compression if the valves are unable to shut effectively.

High compression may result in the infiltration of fluids like as gasoline, oil, and coolant into the cylinder. Are all the plugs in satisfactory condition? Are there any damp electrical plugs?

Greetings everyone, I appreciate your responses. The plugs are desiccated yet coated with carbon deposits. Yesterday, I performed a VCDS scan and will now provide the results.
