Tool advice

Post by Che »

Hi,

I want to test the vacuum on my Pierburg pull down and just not sure which handheld vacuum pump I need.

Some appear to be for brake bleeding and others appear to check for compression.

Just don't want to buy the incorrect one.

TIA

Just suck on it and see if it holds a vacuum.

The thing with setting up the Pierburg Pulldown it needs to be set lo work correctly, so sucking on it may not work.
