Yes a vacuum gauge - I cheat and use a set of refrigeration gauges - and I have an adaptor to connect into the vac lines.Quote:

Sorry not a very full explanation....
If you 'know' the engine is working properly, you test the vac at the maifold - no hoses/pipes involved, then you connect to all the 'ends' and joints there should be very little difference.
As far as I know, you can only test manifold vacuum on an engine with a throttle plate. That rules diesel out.
Nah, can't make it unfortunatly...Quote:

Have been meaning to buy a vac gauge to play with, just in case in the future I need to check.
Matt.
your in luck, I'll get you the part number for the vac/pressure gauge from one of our local parts providers (not the big gren kmart) I think repco sells them as a dash gauge
I might have a spare one that wont be much used to me now that Im exclusively diesel.
Thx's, have been looking around and they don't seem to be very cheap !Quote:
