• A M Test Systems is distributing a new model of radiator tester made by Zeca in Italy. The system, called the 415, finds leaks in cooling systems by pressurising it via the radiator or header tank.
The system is pressurised to one bar and if over the period of one minute the pressure drops back there is a leak. If the leak is not immediately obvious from spilt coolant, the head gasket seal may be suspect.
Defective hoses, gaskets and loose clips will also be shown up by using the 415 which comes with adaptors for most British and Continental vehicles.
