Re: pressurize cooling system - how? 200 93

posted by  someone claiming to be Steve Ringlee on  Sat Dec 2 16:02 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The FAQ has some ideas on this: get an old reservoir cap, drill a hole and introduce a tire valve with a schraeder fitting, then using a bicycle pump pressurize to no more than about 12 pounds. Look for the leak.

Favorite places to look include the heater hose clamps and connections, along with the water valve: if these leak, the coolant drops under the car and disappears. I like Don's idea if the car is remotely close to the lifetime of the water pump (100k+)
