Check engine for leaks

Note:   Engine at operating temperature (oil temperature >= 80 °C).

  Inspect

1.   With engine running, place tester on coolant compensation tank.
2.   By actuating rubber bellows, air is sucked from coolant compensation tank. Coolant must not be sucked out. If blue fluid in upper chamber of test apparatus turns yellow, cylinder head gasket or cylinder head is leaking.
3.   Operation:
In the clear cylinder of the tester there is a blue reactive fluid that turns yellow when air is suctioned containing the smallest amount of carbon monoxide. When fresh air is suctioned, the test fluid is regenerated, i.e. turns back to blue.
4.   The liquid can be tested by drawing in the exhaust from the exhaust pipe. The test liquid must turn yellow.
