Description QS30196

The QS30196 Diesel Engine Compression Tester is a professional diagnostic kit for workshops that perform cylinder-piston group checks on diesel engines. This kit includes a 0–1000 PSI (0–70 bar) pressure gauge, a 400 mm flexible hose with a quick-release coupling, 9 glow plug hole adapters, and 4 injector hole adapters.

Diagnosing a diesel engine without a compression test gauge often leads to incorrect conclusions and unnecessary repair costs. The QS30196 completely solves this problem: the kit allows you to measure compression through the glow plug holes (a safer method) or through the injector holes, and the built-in pressure relief valve enables you to quickly repeat the test on the same cylinder without disconnecting the device.

Specifications

⚠️ Important: Always wear safety glasses and gloves when working. Check the battery condition before testing. Compare the results with the manufacturer's specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the normal compression for a diesel engine?
Most diesel engines have a compression of around 308 PSI (21 bar), but the exact values depend on the engine model. Refer to the technical documentation.

Which is the best testing method – through glow plugs or injectors?
The glow plug method is preferred because it avoids damaging the injectors and contaminating the fuel system.

Do I need to warm up the engine before testing?
Yes, it is recommended to warm up the engine to operating temperature for accurate results.

What is the warranty on the QS30196 kit?
The tool is warranted for 12 months against manufacturing defects, provided it is used properly.
