This high-quality radiator pressure tester kit has been developed for the fast, reliable, and safe testing of the cooling systems of the most modern vehicles. The kit is an ideal choice for professional workshops where precise leak detection and guaranteeing system integrity are essential. The robust design and wide range of adapter selection ensure compatibility with the most diverse passenger cars.
The radiator pressure tester kit allows for performing a pressure test in the coolant system, thereby identifying hidden leaks, cracks, or gasket failures before they become a source of serious engine damage. The kit includes a large, easy-to-read pressure gauge equipped hand pump, as well as six adapters of different sizes, equipped with quick connectors, which fit most European and Asian vehicles.
Main Advantages:
Fast and Accurate Diagnostics: With the help of the large, well-calibrated pressure gauge, the system pressure can be accurately checked and maintained during the test.
Broad Compatibility: The included 6 adapters ensure that it can be connected to almost any passenger car cooling system.
Robust Construction: The pump and accessories, made of excellent quality materials, guarantee a long service life and reliable operation even under intensive workshop use.
Safe Operation: Maintaining the system under pressure during testing minimizes the risk of hot coolant splashing out.
The precise technical parameters of the set ensure professional applicability and compliance with standards.

Note: For a precise fit, always check the vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
Performing a pressure test is crucial for maintaining engine reliability, especially in the case of turbocharged, high-performance, or modern, complex cooling systems.
Steps for Testing:
Preparation: Make sure the engine is completely cool and there is no hot fluid in the cooling system. Remove the factory radiator cap.
Adapter Connection: Select the appropriate adapter for the vehicle and secure it tightly onto the radiator filler neck.
Pump Connection: Connect the hand pump equipped with a pressure gauge to the adapter using the quick connector.
Pressure Build-up: Start pumping. Monitor the reading on the pressure gauge. For most passenger cars, the test pressure is between 1.0 bar and 1.5 bar.
Pressure Holding: After reaching the desired pressure (usually the value specified by the manufacturer), stop pumping and close the pump valve.
Readout: Watch the pressure gauge for 10-15 minutes. If the pressure drops significantly, it indicates a leak. The location of the leak can be localized by visually checking for fluid leakage.
Depressurization: After completing the test, carefully open the pressure relief valve to safely release the pressure before removing the adapter.
Areas of Application:
Cooling systems of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
Checking for head gasket leaks (supplemented with a CO2 detector)
Checking radiators, heater cores, and pipe connections
Testing water pump seals
This kit is an indispensable tool for any professional responsible for guaranteeing the reliability of vehicle heating and thermal management systems. Precise measurement capability and ease of handling significantly speed up the troubleshooting process.
