Subject:Pressure Tester/Adapter for Vanagon
From:Richard Golen
Date:Tue, 1 Jan 2008 11:31:49 -0500

Hi,

Before I buy a new motor for my 87 Westy, I'd like to pressure test
the cooling system to make sure the problem is, in fact, a cylinder
head gasket/cracked head leak. I went to my local AutoZone store to
borrow one of their pressure testers. Unfortunately, their kit is
only works on US-type radiator caps, not the screw-on VW type. The
kid at AutoZone said they couldn't order an adapter.

So, does anyone know where I could find, borrow, or rent an adapter
or a VW-type pressure tester?

Thanks.

Ric
