Ask him if he does a discount for Orange Fish whilst your at it

 

The Jampsport lads r very knowledgable!

Now back on topic please chaps

 

lol cheers stu, wondered wat every1 was goin on about the orange fish!

 

whats a leakdown test mate?

 

oh look, a picture of him with some atttractive girls and clare.

 

 

 

Kinda compression test but more advanced, pressurised air is fed into each cylinder one after the other while a pressure gauge monitors how the pressure is being maintained in the bore. Because of the constant flow of air into the bore, you can tell if either valve (exhaust, inlet) leaks, if you have a headgasket leak, or, leaky rings.

Although ive never taken my car there i deffo would as ive only ever heard good things about the place!

That picture puts a name to the face for me as i was talking to Dan ( as i no know his name lol ) in a petrol station on the morning of santapod was telling me theyd spent the morning racing people up and down the dual carrige way! seemed a Top man and very friendly..

ah ive known the 'leakdown' test as a cylinder leakage test... collage eh, LOAD OF SH*TE!!! ah well they may let me bring it in to do it.


bought a compression tester, got 150 psi(think it was psi lol) on all 4 dry, wet i got 160, so an increase of 10 psi from dry to wet... my tutor reakons thats fine...

 

I can highly recommend Jamsport

Not shite at all.. because it is a "Cylinder leakage test" LOL

 

u made me feel like a twit now stu!

so i take it a cylinder leakage test is better than a comp test for diagnostics? see above for comp readings i took

Bonjour......

Me here......

 

 

Compression test is pretty useless to be honest, unless you have a major leak it doesnt show much at all.
