coolant pressure test

[kspharris]

Hey I am about to do a coolant pressure test to check and see if there are any leaks in my coolant system. What do I pressurize the system to? I am at work and do not have my manual with me so I have no idea. Thanks, Keith.

Test your radiator cap first. Then pressurize the system to whatever the cap can hold. I believe cap pressure is .9 bar or anywhere from 13-14 psi.

Standard pressure is 11-15 psi. Go by what the cap says...If the cap doesn't say anything I'd stick to 15 psi.

Thanks guys. The cap says nothing on top but does have a 0.9 stamped in the side. That must be it. Thanks again, Keith.
