How to Test Compression

How to use
  1. Ensure the engine is off and the battery is fully charged to allow for optimal cranking speed.
  2. Disconnect the fuel shut-off solenoid or fuel pump relay to prevent fuel injection during the test.
  3. Remove all glow plugs or injectors depending on the adapter you plan to use.
  4. Select the correct adapter for your vehicle and thread it securely into the cylinder port.
  5. Attach the quick-release hose from the gauge to the adapter.
  6. Crank the engine over for 5-10 revolutions until the gauge needle stops rising.
  7. Record the reading, then press the one-touch relief valve to release the pressure before disconnecting.

Excellent diesel compression tester. Used it to diagnose a blown head gasket on a 1.9 TDI. The quick release is solid brass, much better quality than my old generic kit. Paid for itself on the first use.

Ordered at 1pm, arrived the next day. The 75mm gauge is massive and incredibly easy to read under the bonnet. Fits my Transit van glow plugs perfectly without any fuss.

Great bit of kit with a very comprehensive adapter set. The blow-moulded case is a little bit tight for the hose if you don't coil it perfectly, but the actual tool is spot on for the price.

Saved me an absolute fortune in garage diagnostic fees. Found out cylinder 3 had low compression straight away. The one-touch release valve makes testing multiple cylinders a breeze.

As an agricultural engineer, I need reliable gear. Tested this on a Mitsubishi site generator and an old tractor. The heavy-duty hose handles 600 PSI without a sweat. Highly recommended.

Top quality construction. The H-type clamp is a lifesaver for older injectors where standard screw-in adapters won't work. Feels exactly like a proper workshop tool should.

Founded with a commitment to practical, heavy-duty workshop solutions, Dayuan Test Tools was built for the independent British mechanic, the apprentice technician, and the serious DIY van owner. We know the frustration of paying exorbitant garage diagnostic fees just to be told what you already suspected: an engine needs deeper work. That is why we set out to create diagnostic equipment that rivals the big-name brands in accuracy and durability, but remains accessible to those turning the spanners themselves.

Our flagship diagnostic kits are engineered specifically for the high-pressure demands of modern and classic diesel engines. Unlike generic hybrid kits that fail under pressure, our tools feature true 0-70 Bar gauges, heavy-duty flexible hoses, and precision-machined brass adapters. We test our equipment rigorously to ensure it can withstand the daily grind of a busy commercial workshop or a demanding home garage setup.

At Dayuan Test Tools, our mission is simple: to stop blind parts replacement. By equipping you with comprehensive, reliable testing gear, we empower you to pinpoint low-compression faults, worn rings, and head gasket issues with absolute certainty. Based in the UK, we back every kit with a solid 2-year warranty and dedicated local support, ensuring your diagnostic work never skips a beat.
