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 Co ² in 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 fit with the exception of the brass rad cap adaptor
(fig.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 fit and may require a twisting
action to assemble them or get them apart.
4.1.3. The tester component parts, as shown in fig.1, can be configured in two main ways. See section 4.2
and 4.3.
4.2. raDiator/HeaDer tank aDaptor Configuration.
4.2.1. As shown in fig.2a the tester can be configured to fit onto a header tank or radiator using one
of the adaptors supplied with the VS006 pressure test kit. See fig.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 fit 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 fluid 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 fluid. If the fluid turns yellow this indicates the
presence of Co ² in the coolant and the need to investigate further for a suspect cylinder head gasket
