Hi all,
In the new 8 Monday and have had time to think about car maintenance. I would like to keep an eye on compression, so it could be beneficial to purchase a tester since it's around £60 a pop at a specialist. I saw this on Facebook recently and was wondering what people's opinions are of it:
I haven't a clue whether it's a credible source, but are there any ways to tell the good from the bad?
Cheers.

Re: Digital compression tester?
They're quite new to the market, built by a chap called Ciprian Dalvaru in Bucharest.

Re: Digital compression tester?
You could make one..
https://www.instructables.com/TR-01-DIY ... on-Tester/
Wouldn't take much more to add a screen and some fancy stickers. I bet that's all the first guys done.
Problem is the cost of of the transducer. It's what's off me off so far.

Re: Digital compression tester?
That guy is a real piece of work, always wondered how he's referencing these testers before being shipped.
