When vehicles have problems overheating or maintaining the correct amount of coolant, it is time to check for leaks in the cooling system. The OEMTOOLS 27247R Radiator Adapter is needed to perform this process on Ford Contour (1998-2000), Jaguar XJ8 (1998 - newer), Jaguar XK8 (1997 - 2006), and Mazda Tribute (2001 - newer) vehicles. In order to use this radiator cap adapter for an automotive radiator pressure test, an additional radiator pump pressure tester is needed. The needed specialty tools can be found in the OEMTOOLS 27065, 27068, or another radiator pressure kit with pumps that feature a similar Universal Fit Type end. The durable seal of the coolant adapter cap enables one to easily use a pump as a radiator leak detector kit by monitoring the level of PSI on the pump's gauge. The radiator cap usually has an amount of PSI on it that the pump uses as its target. If the radiator test kit gauge shows that the PSI stays at the recommended level for an extended period of time, then one can rule out major leaks as the cause of the radiator coolant issue. If, however, the PSI does not stay steady but quickly decreases, one can then listen and look for spots in need of radiator hose repair or radiator leak repair. Filling automotive radiators with water before pressure testing allows one to not waste coolant in the case of a leak. Each pump of the pressure tester radiator tool should evacuate more fluid if there is a leak. A radiator leak tester detects a possible leak in a radiator hose or other part of the cooling system, which is the first step to a complete leaking radiator fix. If you are having cooling system issues in a vehicle model listed above, the OEMTOOLS 27247R Radiator Adapter and Coolant Pressure Adapter is a perfect fit for your radiator tester adapter kit.
