Passive Static coolant tests are indeed in commencement..........mighty vac used at return to expansion tank line to bleed & why not clamped.

Then heat gun is used to warm radiator and engine to observe for level change and weep trace.

Well that is it...... I officially HATE Ethanol in Gasoline and Diesel FUEL!

Brand new fuel pump was attacked by it and destroyed from shear corrosion and even with controlled environment, preventive inhibitors and fuel stabilizer. :banghead:

Another New pump installed and fuel tank and lines flushed to service ports.

Found leak at filler line & so installed a new clamp.

Static coolant test for leaks has not moved a bit! YAY!

Ethanol in diesel fuel? I'd hate that too; it would cause far more problems there than in gasoline!

You should move the heck out of NYS. Rural Virginia or Florida, where non-ethanol gasoline is still readily available. :D

I love all my scan tools and yours I hold dear, because it's from you and all my friends at RT with comprehensive functionality!
You know this!
When I can have access to a tester that boots in no time flat and just plug it in, with a shop environment rugged case. Being able to play VAG text through what I want, you know I'm doing that, it's faster & so am I.
More in my head that way too. Sometimes VCDS does too much for people and they may not realize it, but to me it's made people lazy!
I can navigate a blue box blind in the dark & on a road test
Without taking eye off road, can not with a laptop nor a phone lawfully, however, a blue box scanner I never had my balls broken over it by PD.
