Checks for CO2 in cooling system and indicates its presence by test fluid colour change visible in the premium quality chamber.

Diesel engines have different exhaust gas composition (before catalyzer), lower level of co2, higher nitrates and carbon.I spoke to a second garage (an MG specialist) who said testing emissions to determine whether the head gasket had gone was worthless and they never do it. Problem is you have water > oil and vice versa, and then cylinder to oil exclusive, and/or cylinder to water exclusive, or a combination of all three. The cylinder head leak tester has a conical stopper that is placed directly on the cooling water expansion tank. Draper Expert quality, block or combustion leak tester for determining if CO² is present in a vehicle's cooling system. Thanks to the universal adapter with a wide measuring range (25-55 mm), we can check among other things: cars, trucks, road tractors, excavators, motorcycles, forklifts.

During the test on the radiator reservoir it is mandatory to take extra care when unscrewing the cap on a warm engine and during the test itself - risk of burns! Different sizes and types of keys ensure that all lambda probe types are suitable, maximizing flexibility and applicability. Does your car sometimes have starting problems, lose cooling water or does the engine overheat quickly? Works with virtually any liquid-cooled internal combustion engine or generator with a closed cooling system including: gasoline, diesel, propane, natural gas and other alternative fuels. If Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is present in the gases it will turn the fluid green indicating a blown head gasket or similar issue.

Other damage to the engine, such as hairline cracks in the engine block or defective seals in the cylinder liner, can also be the cause of the detected CO2. Wear goggles, heat resistant gloves and outer clothing that will protect you from burns if coolant system fails during test. The crankshaft front oil seal puller is a specialized tool designed to remove the front oil seal without causing damage to the crankshaft or engine components.
