Thanks SO MUCH for this! I've got a bunch of 1.6 diesels (Vanagon, Jetta, Pickup) and most have coolant leaks.

I'm looking to pick up a pressure tester, any recommendations?

Maybe the Stant Inc. 12270 Cooling System and Pressure Cap Tester Set?

I'm having a hard time figuring out if it has adapters for the various generations of VW diesels: '82 vanagon diesel (standard radiator cap??), '83 vanagon diesel (same threads as a rabbit maybe? - although I haven't found this adapter yet), '91 Jetta seems to have a $65 #12028 adapter. Whew!

Opinions?
