Continental adds new flushing kit for independent workshops


Continental has introduced a new flushing kit for independent workshops.

The new kit comes in two cases; these contain the flushing and vacuum unit together with all the hoses required. Mechanics will find the necessary adapters and connectors in Tool Box W01.

“Many workshops already use this Tool Box for cooling system diagnostics, meaning they already have all the adapters,” explains Continental product manager Maximilian Pape.

“So we decided not to add these components to the new Tool Box W04 as well, to avoid needless duplicate purchases.”

Now all that workshops need are the canisters for flushing and filling; the Tool Box even contains the requisite covers complete with connector.

Continental says the two boxes complement each other perfectly. The Tool Box W01 and the new Tool Box W04 provide mechanics with everything they need to carry out the complete flushing procedure, even when dealing with very intricate cooling systems – from bleeding and vacuum checking to creating a vacuum and the actual task of flushing.

All connector systems and adapters have been designed so that they each fit just one mating part, thereby eliminating the possibility of connection errors.

Continental’s solution also offers the added benefit of being universally suitable for all vehicles.
