Sun 450 diagnostic Engine Analyser
Cars in NSW have to comply with emission standards which are among the most stringent in the world. SUN Machine 450 measures the emisions (the unburnt, wasted fuel) coming out your exhaust, enabling us to make your car run more economically, and be better for the environment at the same time.
The SUN machine 450 generates vehicle-specific engine diagnostics for thousands of early and late model vehicles. Parameters measured include RPM and temperature, battery volts, oil temperature, polarity, volts, amps, peak amps, vacuum, ripple, temperature, HC, CO, O2 CO2, A/F ratio and much much more.
This machine provides diagnostic summaries and individual diagnostic messages about the starting, charging, ignition, fuel, compression and cooling systems of your car.
The emissions module uses non-dispersive infrared to detect HC, CO, O2 and CO2 gas emissions.
The SUN 450 also shows vacuum wave form patterns which helps to detect problems with valve springs, worn cam shafts and mechanical valve trains which otherwise can be very difficult to diagnose. snap-on
Redline diagnostic smoke machine
The Redline Smoke Pro Total-Tech Automotive leak locator & EVAP machine delivers opaque vapour at a controlled pressure into virtually any automotive system. The vapour exits through any small holes or cracks, allowing the detection of even the tiniest leaks. The Redline diagnostic smoke machine is invaluable in the diagnosis of many difficult and previously undiagnosed problems with cooling systems, turbochargers, intercoolers, diaphragms, gaskets and vacuum and exhaust systems. It can also be used to detect cracked manifolds, catalytic converters, worn throttle shafts, diaphrams & seals and door and window seals.
