TheBeastie Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Can I ask whether this is something I am best getting done professionally or is it worth getting a Silverline 196602 Dielsel Engine Compression Testing kit which seems to be about £55. Not sure how good, or otherwise, this kit is. Any views? Best wishes Malcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Silverline is fairly good gear, that's a reasonable price for a diesel comp test kit, you could ask at your nearest LR garage if they can do the test & then there's how much it'll cost too.

Bowie69 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'd invest in the tools, if you can afford it, then everytime you use it it saves you money and owes you less! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Is it difficult to test the compression? ie. is it beyond the skills of a novice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

western Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 either vis glowplug hole if direct injection or by injector hole, depending on the compression test kit used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoaryV8 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thats very cheap for a diesel tester. And its a very easy task to undertake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
