Your cart is empty.When vehicles have problems overheating or maintaining the correct amount of coolant, it is time to check for leaks in the cooling system. The OEMTOOLS 27247R Radiator Adapter is needed to perform this process on Ford Contour (1998-2000), Jaguar XJ8 (1998 - newer), Jaguar XK8 (1997 - 2006), and Mazda Tribute (2001 - newer) vehicles. In order to use this radiator cap adapter for an automotive radiator pressure test, an additional radiator pump pressure tester is needed. The needed specialty tools can be found in the OEMTOOLS 27065, 27068, or another radiator pressure kit with pumps that feature a similar Universal Fit Type end. The durable seal of the coolant adapter cap enables one to easily use a pump as a radiator leak detector kit by monitoring the level of PSI on the pump's gauge. The radiator cap usually has an amount of PSI on it that the pump uses as its target. If the radiator test kit gauge shows that the PSI stays at the recommended level for an extended period of time, then one can rule out major leaks as the cause of the radiator coolant issue. If, however, the PSI does not stay steady but quickly decreases, one can then listen and look for spots in need of radiator hose repair or radiator leak repair. Filling automotive radiators with water before pressure testing allows one to not waste coolant in the case of a leak. Each pump of the pressure tester radiator tool should evacuate more fluid if there is a leak. A radiator leak tester detects a possible leak in a radiator hose or other part of the cooling system, which is the first step to a complete leaking radiator fix. If you are having cooling system issues in a vehicle model listed above, the OEMTOOLS 27247R Radiator Adapter and Coolant Pressure Adapter is a perfect fit for your radiator tester adapter kit.

I bought this to use on various Volvo products and it works exactly as it should. Apply a little lube to the O-ring, thread it onto the tank and pump it up with your pressure tester.

Great price for this cooling system pressure tester adapter. It will connect your Stant or NAPA pressure tester to your BMW or Range Rover. Works great, looks to be well made, and gets the job done. You must do your own homework to see if it will fit your car.

The adapters sometimes don’t hold as well, and must be pre-tightened, then you have to find a way to keep it from turning and not tightening. I’d does however get the job done, I find myself having to double check that it’s tightened correctly, that’s the only issue. Otherwise I’d buy it again.

Sending back for an exchange product, but so far I'm not impressed at all. Waited a month for this to arrive only to find that it's defective and leaking. @OEMtools - Do you not quality control your products? This is the second product from this manufacturer that has been a disappointment. Hopefully the replacement is better. I will update the review accordingly.

Professionals beware. This product leaked straight out of the box, and I had to fiddle with it for awhile to find the source. The fix was simple - tighten up the connection above the relief valve, but this isn't the consumers responsibility - Time is money in this profession. The materials used are decent, and the product has a feel of quality, and it comes in a nice blow molded case, but OEM Tools could really benefit from a quality control department, as it is simple things like this that will keep me from being a return customer.

This kit is decent and works acceptably for me on Chrysler, Nissan and Toyota radiators. If I had to do it again, I probably would have bought the Stant Cooling System Test Kit, mainly because it is built better and supported better by the manufacturer (it is rebuildable when the parts wear out, and parts are readily available). While the 27068 has expandable rubber plugs for radiator necks, the Stant kit requires you to purchase radiator neck adapters separately. Originally I thought the expandable rubber plugs were going to be a better, more cost effective solution than having to buy an adapter for each vehicle's cooling system. However, in practice the expandable rubber plugs tend to pop out of the radiator neck under pressure at times, sometimes with a startling POP. Over the course of using this tool, I found myself buying the dedicated Stant cooling system adapters for the vehicle makes I service most often, and using the expandable plugs for those that I only see once in a while.One important thing to note is that the expandable rubber plugs in the OEMTools 27068 kit only tests cooling systems but NOT radiator caps. To test caps you need to use dedicated radiator cap adapters. You can purchase radiator cap test adapters from Stant, these will fit and will work perfectly with the 27068. I purchased the Stant 12552 (domestic "A" size 3/4" deep caps, like the Mopar 52079880AA), Stant 12021 (Nissan), 12024 (Toyota) adapters and they all functioned flawlessly with my OEMTools 27068 tester.All in all the 27068 combined with the radiator cap adapters is a versatile tool that allows you to identify weak radiator caps as well as leaks in your radiator/cooling system. But if I knew then what I have learned through experience with this tool and described for you here, I would have bought the Stant pressure testing tool right up front instead.

The pump has been good so far, seems to be good quality. The rubber adapters are not going to give you full coverage on all vehicles. I use this in conjunction with the OEM tools vacuum filler adapters and even with all the extra adapters you will still find some vehicles where you really just need the proper screw on adapter. It's a good tool, but it's not a universal solution.

What this product fails to inform you, unless I missed it somewhere, is that it only adapts to a Stant pressure tester or the like. It DOES NOT fit onto any of the Harbor Freight pressure kits; which is what I have.

Well, if your looking for a Toyota adapter which Toyota? I can only assume this is for later models. My 1995 Camry was nothing like this adapter. There is also the multi vehicle adapter that is for Toyota but it doesn't say that before you purchase. I happened to buy that one too and it is on the package but still which Toyota?? Haven't tried that one yet but the Ford adapter did the trick!! So far this OEMTOOLS product seems pretty decent. All metal body construction, lifetime warranty, and replaceable parts, but still lifetime warranty.
