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 ...

Thanks liviu2004

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...

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?

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 ...

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...

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.

I've read a lot over the years on the internet where people ask about camshaft/valve timing/crankshaft correlation issues and codes such as P0016, and there maybe other codes! I'd of really loved to have been afforded more time during my job to use my scope/WPS transducers etc but unfortuently I'm n...

Thanks Victor. Looks like the automotive industry needs to think about writing a software program for universal scanners that allows us to get back to diagnostics and testing systems again. Much of the money/time spent writing software these days is waisted on storing fault codes for everyday bulb r...

Our internet wifi went out on a tangent the other day and nobody new why. After 24 hrs whatever gremlins triggered the failer, it just started working again normally.

I'm just waiting around for the global shut/meltdown
