RichardAllen Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I am looking for a compression tetser for a 300TDi engine. I will only do this test on occasion and only on a 300TDi engine, so I want a simple cheap kit. Anyone got a good recommendation for what kit I need and where to buy it at a good price ? Likewise, hints and tips for doing the test would be very welcome too. Apologies if this is already on here somewhere, but I could not find it.

RichardAllen Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 Western, Thanks. Is the glowplug thread on a 300TDi a standard size that most diesel test kits can use ? Regards Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 LR use Beru glowplugs in tdi engines, they make loads for other vehicle applications too their website here my parts & workshop manual don't state the thread size/type or Beru part number.
