Do Pakistani mechanics use proper pressure testing to diagnose small radiator leaks in Changan Kalam?

Many minor leaks are not visible to the eye and need pressure testing. Are local workshops equipped and trained for this task?

Rarely.

Most roadside workshops rely on visual inspection only.

Small leaks pinholes, gasket seepage are often missed.

Few workshops have radiator pressure testers, which:

Simulate real pressure conditions

Help catch slow leaks

➡️ As a result, coolant keeps disappearing, and owners keep topping off without knowing the source.
