Hi all I know this subject has been covered many times and the excellent sticky by gti_kev explains how to do a pressure test and WUR mod, but has anyone managed to find out what items are required to build your own pressure tester. I saw a thread recently where someone built there own but he could not remember the parts that were supplied to him by pirtek The only pressure testers i can find for the k-jetronic are 75+ and considering i am only going to use it once i would rather build my own (tight i know) I know a ball valve stop tap and various other fittings are required but what sizes and quantities etc ? Help would be appreciated thanks
Nige the diy guru built one and shows how it's done early on in his epic build thread I bought a cheap test kit off eBay and a additional ball tap from tool station
Sizes What size threads are required for the ball tapp ? do you need a female/female one, male/female ???
Derek here might be able to help. http://www.autostadt.ie/phpbb3/viewtopic.php?f=117&t=18187 He's registered on CGTI too, but doesn't post much
I cobbled one together with a pressure gauge, an old WUR feed hose, some PTFE tape and jubilee clips, probably not H&S approved but it worked
