    Good to know for my junkyard radiator testing. Never knew how to work that kit. I just ran it up to temp with garden hose water and watched the top right, at the seam, leak.

  • @juniorDaDamaja
    @juniorDaDamaja 3 роки тому +2

    Question @youwrench Before carrying out the test. Is the engine supposed to be hot (reach operating temperature) or cold (like over night cold) AND after already lost some coolant in the radiator do you need to top up the coolant before testing or just test regardless of coolant level

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  3 роки тому

      You can run the test with the engine cold (and not running) no problem because this is simulating adding pressure to the system for you. If the level is low, it is worth topping up before running the test, especially if you are expecting to see a leak. Hope that helps :-)

  • @alexanderquilty5705
    @alexanderquilty5705 3 роки тому

    About the 16 PSI, why do some people when using an adaptor on the coolant reservoir to pressurize and then refill the coolant system with a compressor use a far much higher PSI like 25-28 PSI?

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  3 роки тому

      Ah ok, so this is different. The 16psi comes into play as this is the pressure for the factory radiator ap (as you can see printed on the top). The cap is designed to release excess pressure if/when it goes over 16psi, so the system will keep a constand pressure as it is designed to do, and if there is a build up of pressure the rad cap can release it.
      So that is more the 'operating pressure' side of things... When replacing the coolant using the pressurised type of tool connected to an air compressor, it needs enough pressure to 'suck' in the coolant from the bottle. Also, remember when you do it this way you are 'sucking' the empty cooling system, to remove the air (the pipes flatten out), whereas the pressure tester is 'pushing' pressure. So the process is different :-)
      Hope that makes at least some sense, lol!!

    I would almost bet the farm you actually didnt have a leak. I believe you poured coolant to show what a leak would look like :)

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  3 роки тому +1

      I wish that were the case!! The leak was from a corroded clip arm on the lower radiator hose. It would only start to leak after a certain amount of pressure (as seen in this video). Noted the corroded arm, went to open the clip and the arm immediately snapped off. The radiator itself was a-ok. Nasty cheap clips!

    • @YouWrench
      @YouWrench  4 роки тому

      Most sets include a selection of caps that are designed to fit the majority of car makes and models. The best way is to try each cap until you find the right one. It should be quite obvious which ones will definitely not fit by looking at each first. There should be one there to fit, unless you make and model is rare or unusual. Best of luck!

      No, this kit is for testing the radiator, and it replaces the cap during testing so this it no good for testing radiator caps. Hope that helps!

      Yes, for us it was a partially broken lower radiator hose clip rather than the radiator. So VERY easy to spot, but would only leak once pressure was applied, and once it started it POURED out!! Replaced the hose clip, and was perfect again :-)
