2. INTRODUCTION
The VS0061.V2 combustion leakage test kit is designed to diagnose blown gaskets and cracked cylinder heads
quickly and easily by checking for the presence of CO²in 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

4. OPERATION
4.1. PREPARATION
4.1.1. 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.
4.1.2. Thevariouscomponentsofthetesterareapushtwiththeexceptionofthebrassradcapadaptor
 (g.1aE)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tandmayrequireatwisting 
action to assemble them or get them apart.
4.1.3. Thetestercomponentparts,asshowning.1,canbeconguredintwomainways.Seesection4.2
and 4.3.
4.2. RADIATOR/HEADER TANK ADAPTOR CONFIGURATION.
4.2.1. Asshowning.2athetestercanbeconguredtotontoaheadertankorradiatorusingone 
 oftheadaptorssuppliedwiththeVS006pressuretestkit.Seeg.2b.Whenthetubeonthelower 
chamber ‘D’ is inserted into the brass adaptor ‘E’ ensure that the brass ring at the top of the adaptor is
 tighteneddownsothatitgripsthetube.Thebrassadaptor‘E’willbeapushtontotheradiatoror
header tank adaptor. Push down until it clicks into place. To release the assembly pull the ring at the
bottom of the brass adaptor upwards.
4.2.2. Filltheupperchamberwithtestuiduptothedottedline.
4.2.3. Turn on the vehicle engine and wait for steam to enter the lower chamber.
4.2.4. When steam is visible in the lower chamber pump the rubber bulb several times to draw steam into
 theupperchamberandobservethecolourofthetestuid.Iftheuidturnsyellowthisindicatesthe
presence of CO²in the coolant and the need to investigate further for a suspect cylinder head gasket

or cracked head.
4.2.5. Alternativelythetestercanbeusedwithoutthebulbattachedasshowning.2c.Inthiscongurationthesteamwillautomatically
pass into the upper chamber. Take care to keep limbs and face away from any jet of steam being expelled from the hole in the top of the
cap.
4.2.6. As soon as the test is complete turn off the engine and allow the system to cool for a while. Before removing the tester from the
radiator or header tank open the tap on component ‘E’ to allow any remaining pressurised steam to escape. Thick gloves must be
worn during this process and when the tester and adaptor are removed from the radiator.
4.2.7. Remove the upper chamber from the lower chamber by twisting them apart. Pump the bulb several times to draw fresh air into the
 chamber.Whentheairmixeswiththetestuiditshouldreturntoabluecolourandcanberetainedforfutureuse.Seeg.1b.
4.3. HAND-HELD CONE CONFIGURATION.
4.3.1. Wherenoadaptorisavailablearubberconecanbettedtothebottomofthetesterasshowning.3a.Thisallowsthetestertobe
 heldinplaceonaheadertank(seeg.3b)orradiatoropening(seeg.3c).
WARNING! Thickprotectiveglovesmustbewornwhenusingthetesterinthiscongurationtoprotecttheoperatorfromany 
escaping steam. Great care should be taken when placing the adaptor over the radiator or header tank opening and also when
removing it.
4.3.2. Filltheupperchamberwithtestuiduptothedottedline.
4.3.3. Remove the radiator or header tank cap. Turn on the vehicle engine and wait for steam to appear. Place the tester onto the radiator
or header tank opening and hold it down and steady so that it makes an effective seal against the opening.
4.3.4. As soon as steam appears in the lower chamber pump the bulb to draw the steam into the upper chamber and observe the colour
 ofthetestuid.IftheuidturnsyellowthisindicatesthepresenceofCO²in the coolant and the need to investigate further for a
suspect cylinder head gasket or cracked head.
4.3.5. As soon as the test is complete remove the tester from the radiator opening and turn the engine off. When there is no more steam
emanating from the opening replace the cap.
4.3.6. Remove the upper chamber from the lower chamber by twisting them apart. Pump the bulb several times to draw fresh air into the
chamber. When theairmixeswiththetestuiditshouldreturntoabluecolourandcanberetainedforfutureuse.Seeg.1b.
