3.1.
Adding dye to cooling system.
3.1.1.
Add dye to the cooling system via the radiator filler or the expansion bottle. Take extreme care
when removing the filler cap if the engine is warm or hot. 35ml of dye will treat 11.5 litres of
coolant. To avoid waste we suggest that the dye is added in 5ml doses until the mix fluoresces
sufficiently.
3.1.2.
Run the engine until the thermostat is open and then for a further few minutes, to ensure complete
mixing and distribution of the dye.
3.1.3.
Switch off the engine.
3.2.
Adding dye to A/C system.
!
WARNING! Any work carried out on the A/C system, including adding dye, should only be performed by an
Air Conditioning service technician following the vehicle manufacturer’s service instructions or a proprietary
manual to establish the current procedure and data.
3.3.
Leak detection
Note:
Leaks will be more obvious if the UV inspection is carried out in low ambient light.
3.3.1.
Connect the UV lamp to the vehicle battery terminals, or other suitable 12 volt supply, noting that
correct polarity (red clamp to positive terminal) is important.
3.3.2.
Wearing the UV safety goggles, point the UV lamp at the area to be inspected and then press and
hold the switch to turn it on. Switch off the lamp while redirecting it to the next area of interest.
!
WARNING! The lamp gets hot during use. Do not touch the lens, do not place the lamp near
inflammable material and do not return the lamp to the case until it has cooled.
3.3.3.
Leaks will become obvious as the dye will fluoresce under the UV light.
NOTE! Maximum continuous use must not exceed 3 minutes. Allow UV lamp to cool for 10 minutes before reuse.
