The package includes a 0–1000 PSI (0–70 bar) gauge with a bleed\/release valve, a flexible hose for tight access, and nine glow plug plus four injector adapters for broad vehicle compatibility. Designed for workshop and mobile use, the set streamlines common diagnostic steps when testing compression during maintenance or troubleshooting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow accurate are the pressure readings and how do I use the gauge?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included gauge measures up to 1000 PSI and displays pressure in both PSI and bar for straightforward interpretation.

The Bicos Diesel Engine Compression Tester Kit is aimed at diesel mechanics, fleet technicians, home mechanics, and agricultural operators who need a reliable, portable way to test cylinder pressure. If you routinely service diesel engines or want a diagnostic tool to confirm compression-related problems after component replacement, this kit offers a practical combination of range, adapters, and ease of use. Note that while it provides clear pressure data, further inspection or professional evaluation may be required to determine the exact cause of compression loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Can this tester measure both PSI and bar?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Yes — the gauge shows pressure in PSI and bar up to 1000 PSI (70 bar).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will the included adapters fit my diesel truck?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The kit has nine glow plug and four injector adapters for many models; check adapter threads against your engine before use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Bicos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55168386105687,"sku":"B0D3WVSG82","price":73.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/1524\/7191\/files\/bicos-compression-tester-kit-front-packaging.jpg?v=1790402396","url":"https:\/\/britishgarage.co.uk\/products\/bicos-diesel-engine-compression-tester-kit-0-1000-psi-gauge-flexible-hose-glow-plug-injector-adapters","provider":"British Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
