Re: What did you do today?
I've got the plunger type compression tester for petrol engines, so no harm trying it on this. Or I could borrow the one I used to diagnose the HGF on the Oldsmobile again.

I have never tried it but using a petrol engine compression tester on a diesel I fondly imagine to have
a "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" moment.

No, it's on the very long to do list, top of which is finish building a house.
I need to order new head bolts and gasket set from Trumpland.

Re: What did you do today?
in the spirit of... something or other, I was helpful.
Not terribly helpful, but a bit... Having a new door lock fitted, the guy doing it seemed to possess a cordless drill and f.a. else, so I leant him tools: files (6 of) hacksaw (1 of) Stanley knife (1 of) and a hacksaw. I even held a few bits while he filed/hacksawed etc.
Ooooh, I did feel all manly and butch!

Re: What did you do today?
MAF failed on the Audi. Got sent a Bremi one which on the face of it is a good brand.
It was utterly useless, faulty. It didn't cure the massive flat spot and brought on the traction control light. Rang up ECP, a Bosch one please. £61 later the car is running and going as it should.
Moral of the story: aftermarket MAF's are shit and the real thing is not expensive.

Re: What did you do today?
Yes, it is surprising how inexpensive some genuine parts are.
I used Fertan today for the first time ever. I was expecting it to be cornflower blue like Kurust but it's actually more like thin treacle.

Did you do a build thread on the house anywhere, like you did with the garage?
