Customer Review
- Reviewed in Canada on August 15, 2023I used this tool to find an hard to find coolant leak on a Ford vehicle with rear passenger side HVAC unit (second evaporator and heater core units). These are common on many full size pickup trucks and large SUV鈥檚. In my case, the rear heater core was leaking slowly simply because the 2 hose clamps rusted out and could no longer provide a leak-proof seal at the hoses. The small puddle of coolant was first misdiagnosed as water condensation from rear evaporator core (summer time repair).
This tool gave me just enough pressure / 15 psi with shop air to slowly follow every single engine cooling components with a flashlight and find my smoking gun! Being able to concentrate my attention without constantly pumping up pressure was a real benefit. For those of you who have internal water pumps on Ford 3.5 V6, this is a great fast way to find out where your small coolant losses are coming from. It鈥檚 too easy to point out and condemn the water pump when it鈥檚 not the real issue.
Tool itself feels solid. The gauge is precise and protected by some rubber on the outside. The only thing i would like to see improved is the ball valve. It feels flimsy. I don鈥檛 believe it鈥檚 worth removing a star for that.
