Re: Guided Tests

I'm not sure 100% if this is correct or not without trying it on the scope but...

Select More from the left hand side menu and then look to find Reset configuration on the lower right hand side. Select it and the scope should reset I think!!

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

If you refer back to the post with the picture present, you'll see that I had a reservoir bung and in the top of that bung you'll see a silver screw on blanking cap. With that cap off and the engine running no coolant pressure can build up. Running the scope and engine at idle nothing happens at tha...

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

As I advised earlier I struggled getting the WPS500x to work with the scope. I don't use it that much to be honest so familiarity is lacking, however, today I got the WPS500x and scope to work. It seems my problem is something to do with a connection with the scope, I didn't spot this the other day ...

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

Thanks liviu2004 for the link. I managed to find an old cooling system tester I bought back in the early 1990's from Snap On. Found a coupler and blank and have managed to set it up using the WPS500x. Hopefully now I'll be able to use this setup on most vehicles that become suspect, however the prob...

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

Not the cap unfortuently, the cooling system still increases in pressure and records P0087. All hoses and heater operation are okay and blows hot air so not air in system.Either leaking head gasket or water pump efficiency?

Re: Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

Thanks liviu2004 I kept wondering about the cap. It seems to disburse coolant while driving out the header tank cap. I had the same problem a couple years back with a Fiesta. Cap would leak under pressure and a new one also did the very same thing immediately. I then bought one direct from Ford and ...

Vauxhall Corsa 1.4 2010

We have at the moment a customer complaining of his engine overheating. Two days ago I spoke with him and he was advising me that the cylinder head gasket was possibly leaking! I checked the coolant level which was at the recommended maximum. I therefore ran the engine until the coolant started to b...

Re: Audi A3 8P BSE Tailpipe pressure waveform

I don't know if you have one or not, but if you use a piston chart with your trace above you will be able to identify each cylinder and compare data visually. Use the engine cylinders firing order with your trace and you should be in a position to compare cylinder data from your exhaust pulses.
