[Vwdiesel] Really cheap NEW diesel compression tester on E-bay with adapters for VW, many others and case

[gary]

This looks exactly like the Harbor Freight model(Chinese).
Like Loren mentioned, the check valve isn't very good... as I didn't 
even get to cyl #2 before it started leaking.

Good thing I only paid $16 (on sale) for it. But Bravo Zulu to Loren for 
the replacement valve idea!
