FAQs

What does the color change in the test fluid indicate?

A color change in the test fluid indicates the presence of CO2 in the cooling system, which suggests a combustion leak.

Can I use this detector on a hot engine?

No, always allow the engine to cool down completely before performing the test to avoid burns.

What type of fluid should I use?

Use the specified test fluid (Model No. VS0061F) for accurate results.

How do I clean the detector?

Rinse the detector with clean water after use and allow it to dry.

What if the detector doesn't fit my radiator?

The kit is compatible with several adaptors. Ensure you have the correct adapter for your vehicle's radiator or consider using it in conjunction with radiator caps from Model No's VS001, VS0011, VS0013, VS0014, VS0033 and VS006.

Troubleshooting

Test fluid does not change color.

Ensure the engine is running and up to operating temperature. Check for leaks in the detector itself, and confirm there is no air leaking from around the seal on the radiator opening.

Detector is not fitting correctly.

Use the correct adaptor for your vehicle's radiator opening or find a suitable adapter.
