AUTOOL SDT203 Car Smoke Leak Detector
€265.00
Visual diagnostics for hidden leaks. The AUTOOL SDT203 is a portable 12V smoke leak detector with a built-in air pump, eliminating the need for an external compressor. Equipped with a pressure gauge and flow meter, it provides real-time feedback on system integrity for intake, exhaust, EVAP, and cooling systems. Whether you’re chasing a “Check Engine” light or a mysterious vacuum leak, the SDT203 outputs thick smoke within 30 seconds to help you fix the problem fast.

Detailed description
Built-In Air Source & Rapid Output
Unlike entry-level smoke machines that require you to hook up a shop air compressor, the SDT203 features an integrated air pump. Simply connect the clamps to the vehicle’s 12V battery, and the unit is ready to go. It generates high-density diagnostic smoke in less than 30 seconds, significantly reducing diagnostic time in a busy workshop.
Dual Monitoring for Accuracy
The SDT203 is designed for precision, featuring two critical diagnostic windows:
-
Pressure Gauge: Allows you to perform a “pressure hold” test. If the needle stays steady, the system is sealed; if it drops, you have a leak.
-
Flow Meter: Indicates the volume of the leak. A high flow reading with the nozzle blocked suggests a major breach in the system.
Comprehensive System Testing
This versatile tool is capable of diagnosing almost every sealed system on a 12V vehicle, including:
-
Intake & Turbo Systems: Find leaks in manifolds, intercoolers, and throttles.
-
EVAP System: Specifically designed to detect leaks in the fuel evaporation system (an 80% cause of OBDII pressure codes).
-
Exhaust & Cooling: Identify cracks in headers or leaks in radiators and water pumps.
-
Car Sealing: Check for wind noise or water ingress around door and window seals.
Smart Safety Protections
To ensure the longevity of the device and the safety of the vehicle, the SDT203 includes:
-
Overheat Protection: Automatically shuts down if the internal temperature exceeds 75°C.
-
Anti-Frost Protection: Ensures reliable operation even in cold workshop environments.
-
Universal Compatibility: Works with standard baby oil or liquid paraffin (USP grade).
