Have you performed a compression test? If not, we need to do that. Here is a guide that will help on how to do it:

Sounds like you may have a head gasket issue which will show up on a compression check. However, here is how to test the head gasket as well:

We don't have a manual on your vehicle because it is not offered here in the USA but we can help with more general information because it sounds like a pretty straight forward compression issue as you mentioned. So that means we need to perform the test and see what we have. Thanks
