Mityvac MV8500 Silverline Elite Automotive Kit

Mityvac 8500

Pricey for what it does but it is good quality could have brought cheaper version but would probably end up buying it twice it would be nice if it came with spark plug hole adaptor for leak down tests as can only find this part to order from the USA postage is more than the part have not had it long enough to comment on durability but feels and looks very well made purchased with 20% off. Would have rated 5 stars if it had spark plug adaptor.Read full review

Very useful tool

Used this to test the vacuum system on a misbehaving Audi A4 diesel that kept going into limp mode - tested operation of turbo and egr actuators and ability of system to generate and hold vacuum. Cleaned the egr (sticky) and found a vacuum leak in one of the hoses which cost a few pounds to fix - problem sorted without having to resort to replacing components at random.

Expensive but good quality tool that takes the guesswork out of the problem solving process.

Intend to use it for brake fluid changes as well.Read full review

Good for the job

I've used this a couple of times now, both on my car and motorcycle. It's a little fiddly to set up but once done it makes the job of brake bleeding so easy. Maybe it would be expensive if you were to only use it the once.Read full review

Good tester with good instructions and accessories

I will be using it mainly for pressure testing small 2-stroke engines for air leaks having just taken a shot in the dark by replacing seals and bearings before.l
So in the long run, it will save money.
It is a very comprehensive kit with lots of adaptors and nozzles and a lot of instructions on testing various things.
I am sure I will find many uses for it

Excellent tool for the workshop

A very useful tool in the workshop. Well built with plenty of accessories to go with it. A must have tool to diagnose worn seals in 2stroke engines. I also have used it to bleed brakes and can't fault it. Read full review

Fantastic bit of kit

Was looking to replace my cheap vacum bleeder kit, this is a snap on equivalent kit. Work in van workshop. Use it daily. Loads of adapters and different hoses.
