You either find someone with a compression gauge for a diesel or you buy one and follow the instructions. I suggest you may want to buy a shop or repair manual for your transporter. It will have detailed instructions, trouble shooting guide and most important in this case, the compression norms for your engine. > > shawn -- Joseph Meehan Dia duit |
