General Car Chat / Will any compression tester do??

« on: 30 November 2011, 10:53:03 »

Are all compression testers pretty much the same or are some especially good (within say a £30 budget)

Is the am-tec one ok??

Also they say Checks Valves and Ring Wear, excessive carbon and late timing for petrol engines...what results show what??

And...how do you use one?? Remove the rubber from cyl 1 of the coil pack and put the compression tester in its place?

General Car Chat / Zafira EML Flashing While Driving...

« on: 29 November 2011, 09:20:56 »

The EML is off on the Zafira 1.6 (52 plate) but sometimes when accelerating the EML flashes, a steady on off, not flickering. What does it mean??

When I stop accelerating it goes back off and stays off (although on occasion it stays on but still flashes when accelerating)

The outside temp reading is saying 40-60 degrees cent...anyone know where the temp sensor is so I can move it away from the engine/heat source that is throwing it off...or replace it if its faulty??

General Car Chat / Help on a Zafira A

« on: 04 November 2011, 19:23:50 »

Just got a really cheap Zafira A with some engine issues...not had a chance to get the "My Naff Code Reader" on it yet (the EML is on) but I noticed that it ran ok with just a slight mifire until heavier acceleration then the constant EML light flashes a few times before being constant again and the engine at that point runs like a pig. Is this the car going into safe mode?? or something else??

Cheers, Chris.
