Combustion Leak test - head gasket test
On a 1999 300m -Finally successfully diagnosed combustion gas leaking
past my head gasket into coolant causing overheating. Used the Napa Block Test kit for $50. Many posts say go to your neighborhood garage and get them to use an exaust analyzer - dont know what that would cost. My Napa Store did not know anything about this test kit and could not find it on their computer so here is a site and part number you can show them http://www.arrowheadradiator.com/hea..._leak_test.htm part number700-1006. Be sure to drain a few inches of coolant before installing this thing on your radiator (or pressure bottle) opening. . Keep watching the tube as the car warms up and gases go through. If you have combustion gas, the fluid in the tube turns yellow. Now, about that head gasket... |
