I spoke to a second garage (an MG specialist) who said testing emissions to determine whether the head gasket had gone was worthless and they never do it. This key provides a secure grip on the clutch, allowing for efficient and safe maintenance or replacement of this critical component. If there are combustion gases, the colour of the test fluid in the upper chamber turns yellow or green, it means combustion gas (CO2) leak into the coolant. Place tester with Large Engine Adaptor plate, on top of radiator opening, press down firmly to seal, and perform test.

However, I think I actually contaminated the test fluid because after thermostat opened there was quite strong upward movement of coolant. Reinstall top cap (it removed) and install bulb by gently twisting into top plug, metal valve end up. Also, the lack of filtering could lead to false test results, the test fluid might not change colour due to possible contaminants. BT-1 BASIC Tester is the simplest and cheapest combustion leak tester on the market but still a quite effective tool for detecting medium combustion leaks in engines with liquid cooling systems.Its a basic test with a degree of accuracy ~ if blown you'll get other symptoms too ~ this will help smaller head gasket faults. Seemed to work ok, not any sign of slight bubbles during test but no change to colour so possibly only very slight water leak as my mechanic says and not bad enough for test kit to find (hopefully ) will test again in a few weeks. This ignition adjustment stroboscope lamp is an important tool in car repair, especially for diagnosing and repairing problems related to the ignition system. Added fluid to the tube as directed and popped this into the radiator header tank, within 2 minutes this great little kit had confirmed my worst fears.

Problem is you have water > oil and vice versa, and then cylinder to oil exclusive, and/or cylinder to water exclusive, or a combination of all three.

Also, thanks to the rubber bung, the tester fits a wider range of machines with combustion engines, cars, trucks, lorries, tractors, generators etc. The first kit I got the liquid was contaminated and already green, but I was able to sent it back and get a good kit that worked like a charm.

The pump is crucial in detecting small leaks, atomizer helps to dissolve more gas in the test fluid. Just plug the tool into the radiator cap and pour a small amount of the indicator liquid into the tool. This kit allows quick and damage-free replacement of lambda sensors, which are an important part of exhaust gas treatment systems.Wear goggles, heat resistant gloves and outer clothing that will protect you from burns if coolant system fails during test. I think I still failed the test, because there was quiet strong coolant movement that still got into the test fluid.
