Radiator Leak Test, Removed From Vehicle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the cleaning tank and they will damage aluminum radiators.
NOTE: Always install plugs in the transmission fluid cooler fittings before leak testing or cleaning any radiator.
  1. Leak test the radiator in clean water with 138 kPa (20 psi) air pressure.
