98 s70 T5 -- coolant pressure test kit

Post by mar601 »

I thought of getting a pressure test kit. Can you pressure test the cooling system at the expansion tank? I'm not familiar with other areas of access. -- thanks
If I can do it there, maybe someone can recommend a specific test kit? Would this be ok?
And what window should the pressure be in?

We can't see the link here. If you have the standard cone shaped tester, you can fit it in the top of the coolant header tank.

If it is an actual pressure tester, then you need the adapter to fit where the coolant cap is. Remove the cap and then screw on the adapter in it's place.
