2001 s40

Post by wismo »

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
So this is a 2001 Volvo s40 turbo.
Recently the car lost power on the highway and needed to be towed. I was not driving I was told that.
It would crank but not start, so I checked the timing and its on point I did the belt myself last year.
I have fuel pressure my gauge maxes out at 60 psi.
I checked for spark and have that also coils are new.
The problem is I have zero compression on all 4 cylinders even adding oil to them I only get very slight movement that I can see on gauge.
Head gasket was also done by me when timing belt was replaced. I don't know if its relevant but but while car was on loan to my daughter her boyfreind way overfilled the oil and I can see it sprayed around the engine bay.
But car ran fine for a week or two after that.
Long post sorry Thanks for any and all help Bill
