Hey all, I've just been having a play with the Let-by and tightness test feature on my evo3. Is there some special way to get the pressure to be 10 and 20mb?

I cannot seem to get the correct reading. It's either slightly higher or lower.....
 
U need a special hose also it's between 7 and 10 20 and 21 for that reason

Nice purchase. When checking combustion connect a tube to p+ and to gas valve or inlet and FGA will record inlet on print out too.
 
I've got that hose. OK, say I'm doing a Let-by, I get the pressure up to 12. I then release pressure via the knob on the hose. Even when the anton displays 10mb, as soon as I close the knob, the pressure goes to 11mb. Is it just a matter of practice until you get it right?

I can always use my regin but I like the idea of printing everything for my record.
 
That hose is quite tricky if you start releasing abit of gas the reading on your analyzer becomes unreliable so no way of knowing how much was let out untill you do it up. Takes a few tries..
