Well I am no mechanic or have much experience with compression tests.  But in 
referencing my Bently manual for the scirocco 16v it says that compression 
Specs for a new engine would be 145-189 psi.  So you have the compression of 
a new engine with the exception of 210 which is better than a new engine. The 
wear limit is 109psi and max difference between cyliders is 44psi.  Sounds 
like to me this mech. is pulling you leg.
