I have compression failure in valves 3 and 4 PSI reading around 40. The others are mainly 180
some 120 PSI
Is the car repairable, what do you recommend, I thought the car wasnt that old, but my mechanics sys they think a new car is better

Untill it is stripped down you wil never know what is causing compression fail on them cylinder's. Could be head gasket. Could be valves. Before you doom a 2004 car it's worth an investigation?
