2. INTRODUCTION
The VS0061 combustion leakage test kit is designed to diagnose blown gaskets
and cracked cylinder heads quickly and easily by checking for the presence of CO
in the cooling system. If combustion gasses are present the colour of the test fluid
changes from blue to yellow. The tester comes with a cone adaptor or may be
used in conjunction with radiator caps from the VS006 set. For a refill of test fluid
order Part No.VS0061F.3
3. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 PREPARATION
3.1.1 Remove approximately 1/10 of the volume of coolant from the radiator.
Consult an appropriate vehicle repair manual on the best method of doing
this.
3.1.2 The various components of the tester are a push fit with the exception of the
brass Rad Cap Adaptor which has a ring at the top which allows it to be
tightened onto the tube which protrudes from the lower chamber. The two
chambers are a close fit and may require a twisting action to assemble them
or get them apart.
3.1.3. The tester component parts, as shown in fig.1, can be configured in two
main ways. See over page.
