Full System Diagnostics, Don't Miss Any Leaks.
▶Crankcase System Test: excessive pressure or corrosion of the crankcase is the main reason to damage the seal of the crankcase and cause oil leakage.
▶Intake System Test: leakage in the air intake system will lead to insufficient intake of the car engine, which will result in scant engine power.
▶Car Sealing Test: poor airtightness of the car may lead to a lot of inconvenience like inability to keep warm dusty, not soundproof, and not waterproof , etc.
▶Fuel Tank System Test: possible reasons for the leakage of the fuel tank system: 1. There are gaps in the fuel tank and pipeline caused by improper installation. 2. The fuel tank cover is not sealed enough
▶Turbo Test: the leakage of coolant would cause the engine to report high water temperature.
▶Various Pipe Fittings Test: automobile pipes can be classified according to their functions: brake hoses, power steering hoses, cooling system hoses, air conditioning system hoses, turbocharger hoses, fuel hoses, intake and exhaust system hoses.
▶EVAP System Test: Leakage of the fuel evaporation system will cause fuel vapor to leak into the atmosphere, causing waste and pollution or unstable engine idling
▶Exhaust System Test: Uncleaned harmful gases to be discharged into the atmosphere or increase vehicle noise is the main disadvantage when leaks happened in the exhaust.
