Sniff Test
Hello,
Sorry if this a bit of a stupid question but I am looking for some advice. I have just purchased one of the ebay sniff tests to do on my D5 XC70 and I am wondering when you use it? Can the car be cold or does it need to be warm, if its got to be warm do I warm it without the coolant cap on or whilst its been for a drive? I don't want to do it wrong or burn myself in the process haha Cheers Greg |

I've got an old one knocking about, the instructions say to run the engine for 10 minutes to warm the coolant up and ensure it's circulating.
Fairly sure I did this with the radiator cap loosened off (did it on a bike) so the cooling system didn't pressurise. As you know if you take the cap off with a hot engine it's going to spit hot coolant everywhere. |
