FAQs

What specific engines is this adaptor compatible with?

This adaptor is designed for Fiat, Alfa-Romeo, Lancia, Ford, Suzuki, Opel, Vauxhall 1.3 & VAG 2.0 PD TDi engines, including application codes like 1.3 JTD, 1.3 TDCi, Z13DT, DTH, and DTJ.

What is the thread size of this adaptor?

The adaptor features an M8 x 1mm thread size.

Can I use this adaptor with any diesel compression tester?

It is specifically designed to work with Laser Part No. 4510 diesel compression test kit and Part No. 5140 cylinder leakage tester. While it may physically connect to other testers with a compatible fitting, optimal performance and accuracy are assured with the specified Laser kits.

What is the overall length of the adaptor?

The total length of the adaptor is 124mm.

How deep does the thread engage for sealing?

The thread engagement for sealing is approximately 47mm.

Is this adaptor suitable for petrol engines?

No, this adaptor is specifically designed for diesel engines and their glow plug thread sizes.

How should I clean the adaptor after use?

Clean the adaptor with a suitable degreaser and a soft brush, then wipe dry with a clean cloth. Store it in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

Adaptor does not thread in smoothly.

Check for damaged threads in the cylinder head or on the adaptor. Ensure you are using the correct adaptor for the engine. Do not force the adaptor; hand-thread it first to check alignment.

Air leaks around the adaptor during testing.

Ensure the adaptor is tightened sufficiently (but not over-tightened) and that the 47mm sealing thread is clean and making full contact. Consider using a small amount of PTFE tape on the threads if the engine design allows and it doesn't interfere with the seal.

Inaccurate compression readings.

Verify that the adaptor is fully seated and sealed. Ensure the connected compression test kit is functioning correctly and calibrated. Confirm the engine is being tested under the correct conditions (e.g., warm engine, throttle open).

Adaptor appears damaged.

Do not use the adaptor if threads are stripped, the sealing surface is marred, or the body is cracked. Replace the adaptor to ensure safety and accuracy.
