[Vwdiesel] TDI compression check, KD Tools?

[Shawn Wright]

I saw one on EBay a weeks back that had several more adapters than 
mine (which has 4), but I don't recall if it had a TDI. Ah, here it is... lists 
several glow plugs sizes, but doesn't say anything about VW TDI. Maybe 
one will fit?

Ebay item# 4350301041

"GENERAL MOTORS 4.3 liter V6, 4.3 liter V8, 5.7 liter V8 - Glow Plug

GENERAL MOTORS 6.2 liter & 6.5 liter True diesel - Glow Plug

CHEVETTE / ISUZU 1.8 liter - Glow Plug

LUV / ISUZU 2.2 liter - Glow Plug

ALL MERCEDES 24 x 2.0 - Injector, 12 x 1.25 & 18 x 1.5 - Glow Plug

BMW 2.4 liter - Glow Plug

ALL PEUGEOT 12 x 1.25 & 18 x 1.5 Glow Plug

ALL VOLKSWAGEN 24 x 20 - Injector

ALL VOLVO 24 x 20 Injector

KUBOTA Some 10 x 1.25 - Glow Plug

FORD/NAVISTAR 6.9 & 7.3 liter - Glow Plug

ALL AUDI 24 x 20 - Glow Plug

Plus many more adapters are available to test all heavy duty trucks & and 
cars. Also, an adapter is available to adapt this tester to enable the use of 
all Bacharach adapters. Will also work with most all other tool truck brand 
adapters. All adapters not included in this set can be ordered at reasonable 
cost."

If you find the size of the TDI glow plug, maybe KD sells an adapter. I've 
seen the odd adapter for sale on Ebay also.
