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

[82 Diesel Westy]

Gary and all, what I saw at Harbor Freights was
similar but has less adapters for injector hole.  It
did not say VW, but Cummins, so I guess the Cummins is
the same size as VW.  Anyway, for a final price of
$38.88 to my door step, I am going to give it a shot
and ask Loren for the part number and where to get the
new check valve.

Thanks all, for a back yard VW nut like me, this will
have to do and I won't worry about lending it out to
anyone if needed.
