[Vwdiesel] Looking for a diesel compression tester for about $100, any idea's

[gary]

Harbor Freight has diesel testers for $24, adapters and all...

Bought one on sale for $16! Hooked it up, cyl #1, 505 psi. Cool!
Hooked up to #2... pumped up to #300, then would just bleed down, oh crap!

#3, #4 same as #2, Hooked back up to #1 Same as the rest. Whew! Darned 
thing must have sprung a leak internally.

Moral of the story...
You get what you pay for. However, at $16, I did get a complete set of 
adapters.
