So, yesterday the tests were finally finished. Spark plugs are ok, injectors are ok, camshaft is ok.
But, the mechanic found some issues when measuring the cylinders compression:
Cylinder No1 - 7,5 bar (I think bar is the measuring unit)
Cylinder No2 - 10 bar
Cylinder No3 - 10 bar
Cylinder No4 - 9,5 bar
So it looks like the valves (at least at Cylinder 1 and 4) are not working ok. I will clean them as soon as possible and than redo the test.

Took a look today with my mechanic in VW technical papers and it seems a difference of 3bar between cylinders is accepted !?!? That's quite weird so I read it 2 times to be sure !
Hurdy:
Any guidelines as to what pressure they should be running. I'm sure when I had mine tested they were 175-180psi = 12.4bar but it may be that mine run a higher pressure than yours?
