Product Information

Full details

This Laser Diesel Compression Test Glow Plug Adaptor is designed for mechanics and automotive technicians working with specific Vauxhall, Opel, Saab, and Mini diesel engines. Its primary benefit is enabling accurate diesel compression testing by providing a secure and correctly sized connection for glow plugs. A potential caveat is its specialized application, requiring users to verify compatibility with their specific vehicle and engine before purchase. Key features include a precise M10 x 1mm thread, a 147mm total length, and compatibility with Laser's 4510 compression test kit and 5140 cylinder leakage tester.

FAQs

What specific vehicles is this glow plug adaptor compatible with?

This adaptor is designed for Vauxhall, Opel 2.0 & 2.2 DTi, Saab 2.2TiD, and Mini 1.6 & 2.0 D & SD models, covering engine codes like Y20DTH, Y22DTH, N47C16A, and N47C20A.

What compression test kit does this adaptor work with?

It is designed to be used with the Laser Part No. 4510 diesel compression test kit. It can also be used in conjunction with the Part No. 5140 cylinder leakage tester.

What is the thread size of this adaptor?

The thread size is M10 x 1mm.

What is the total length of the adaptor?

The total length of the adaptor is 147mm, with the thread extending to the seal point at 54mm.

Can I use this adaptor for spark plug testing?

No, this adaptor is specifically designed for diesel glow plugs and diesel compression testing. It is not suitable for gasoline spark plugs.

How should I clean the adaptor after use?

After use, clean the adaptor with a soft cloth to remove any carbon or residue. Ensure the threads and sealing surfaces are clean before storing.

What should I do if the adaptor doesn't seem to fit correctly?

First, double-check that you are using it on a compatible vehicle and engine model. Ensure the glow plug port is clean and free of obstructions. Try threading it by hand to prevent cross-threading. If issues persist, consult the vehicle's service manual or a professional mechanic.

Troubleshooting

Adaptor does not seal properly, causing pressure loss.

Ensure the glow plug port is clean and free of debris. Hand-tighten the adaptor first to ensure correct thread engagement, then tighten securely with a wrench. Verify that the correct glow plug type (e.g., NGK Y1039AS) is being replaced, as thread variations exist. Check the sealing surface on the adaptor for any damage.

Difficulty screwing the adaptor into the cylinder head.

Confirm that the correct adaptor (M10 x 1mm) is being used for the specified engine. Gently clean the threads in the cylinder head. Attempt to start threading by hand to avoid cross-threading. If resistance persists, do not force it, as this may indicate the wrong part or damage to the cylinder head threads.

Inaccurate compression readings.

Ensure the adaptor is securely sealed and not leaking. Verify that the connected compression test kit (Part No. 4510) is functioning correctly and calibrated. Check for any issues with the engine itself, such as blocked air intakes or exhaust leaks, which could affect readings.
