IT SHOULD BE LAW TO OWN A DTI GAUGE

[shrekaddy]

after driving round for 3 months with my aaz doing  20 mpg and smoking like a train and bearley starting from cold i have seen light at the end of the tunnle

i had my pump timing set by ( a diesel specialist lol ) wat a joke i just assumed it was right      how wrong could i be

 i had done the gov mod on saturday and wound the boost out a bit  with nothing but more crap smoke

so i bought a dti gauge and set to it my self and soon realised that mr diesel was not so clever after all he had set the pump to 0.6 so i set the pump to 1 mm and turned the key

holy crap for the first time ever my aaz started with no glow plugs and no throttle and then i looked at the back and no white smoke at last i can see light  and then came the test drive . wat had i done was i driving a different car it flys now and i cant wipe the smile from my face

so i now think it should be law that every diesel owner should also own a dti and learn how to use it its not hard to do and the gauge is not to dear and you can no you have got it right

i now leave a lovely black smoke trail so time for some more mods

i agree

[somolovitch3]

And where would one get a dti?

[ol'smokey95]

sorry...bit of a newbie to the diesels, but what does a dti do? and where do you get them?? :lol:

[pheonix165]

a DTI or dial test indicator, is used for setting the pump timing on our diesels. theres a good number of places that sell them and a simple must if your going to do your own timing belt or fuel pump work.

My dti gauge is made by laser i bought it really cheap from work because they had had it stock for ages but you should be able to buy one from any motor factor that sells tools  ie  euro car parts  

and learning to use them is easy i just followed instructions from a haynes diesel engine book that i have its

it a half hour process that can turn your engine round


LIKE I SAID IT SHOULD BE LAW

I disagree.

I think every owner should own a Diesel pulse adapter and a good timing light.

 :lol:

But DTI's are alright...

HI BADERSBUS

again i got it from work (i work in a motor factors ) its the haynes diesel engine book no. 4174 i normally burn haynes manuals because there normally full of rubbish but because i have always owned and worked on petrol engines ( can i say petrol on here lol ) i have found it really use full there is a fair bit of info on bosh ve pumps in there and even some very very basic explinations on how a diesel works its worth the £12 just for the simple instructions

[shrekaddy]

MR brick yard

talk to me lol   i have heard of a pulse adapter but know nothing about them how do they work are they expensive and can i get one from sealey or laser because i have direct accounts with each at work

and wear do they pick up the pulse from

Where can I get a Diesel Pulse Adapter?

I WANT!!!!!

[gigaz2]

I got mine off eBay.

Andrew

I've been looking for one for ages, I gues I'll have to make my own some day.

I looked in ebay and found nothing, can you shed some light?

[RabbitJockey]

ah thats very smart, this would also help with sitting the timing on cars with different injector pop pressures than stock

[zukgod1]

I'd say.

If anyone stumbles across one post a link please?
I cant get to E Bay at work..
