Rate my compression

Hey guys

Trying to track down problems with a 1.8 GTI DX injection that's playing up - having one of those months where fixing one thing causes a problem somewhere else or I end up noticing another problem while fixing something!

What's your thought on these compression results I got - estimated engine millage is 130-140k

Dry test
135-115-110-135

Wet test
145-130-135-155

It's a cheap eBay tester so the accuracy of the gauge is not to be trusted but obviously it will be out on all cylinders the same so we are really looking at the differences in compression not what pressure it's achieving.

Do these variances look okay for a 35 year old engine with 130+k miles on it?

Thoughts appreciated!
