Subject:      Diesel compression tester, where to buy?
Comments: To: Vanagon list <vanagon@zuni.likeminds.com>

Where do people buy their diesel compression testers? Here in
Rochester NY they don't seem to be availible. (and the gas
ones only go to 300psi)

I've found two mail order sources:

Parts place: $79.95 including the adaptor to fit VW heads.

JC Whitney: $29.95 + $11.95 for adaptor.
(This is from an old catalog. Can somebody verify if it is still
availible?)

Have anyone tried these? Any reason to buy Parts place one over the
cheaper JC whitney?

I also thought about chasing down a "snap on" truck and check with
them, but "snap on" is probably even more expensive.

Any other sources?

Thanks for any insights.

/Martin
