The Einparts CO2 Exhaust Gas Diagnostic Tester In Cooling System Adapter kit detects exhaust gases (CO₂) in the cooling system to diagnose a leaking head gasket. A color change in the reactive fluid from blue to yellow or greenish-yellow indicates the presence of exhaust gases. It can be used on petrol engines, including those equipped with LPG systems, and on diesel engines, without requiring disassembly.
To perform the test, first bring the engine up to operating temperature, then switch it off for 5 minutes before carefully opening the coolant reservoir or radiator. Pour approximately 2 ml of fluid into the tester chamber and seal the device against the opening using the conical adapter. With the engine idling, briefly increase the engine speed a few times to 2,000–3,000 rpm and check for a color change in the fluid. Take particular care when working with a hot engine, as the cooling system may be pressurized and hot coolant can cause burns. Mixing coolant with the reactive fluid may lead to inaccurate results.
