AUTOOL CT160

This is a nice machine for the money. It seems to be made quite well. The instructions seem to be well written and fairly concise. I really like the machines size and it works quite well. Filling the injector cleaner into the machine is something that needs to be watched carefully. The fluid level on the machines side, has fill indications. If you over fill the small internal tank it will leak all over the bench. This machine will give your injectors a good workout and test them well. A machine like this is great to have if you have fuel injected vehicles. If you take your time and do all of the cycles, your injectors (if they are good) will be really clean if the fluid is well chosen .

Supersonic cleaner works excellent

The machine came packaged well and appears to be built very well. I can’t wait to put it to use a few times and see how it holds up. Everything was straight forward and it works as it should. I like how easy it is to drain after use. I did see some negative reviews but decided to give it a try. So far so good, all I need to see is longevity. Some reports say it only works for a short time. The manufacturer claims reliable support after the sale. As much as I hope to not need to contact them I feel they will stand behind it. I believe this is a great deal for a great piece of equipment!

The product is well built and does the job well. My major complaint is that the offer no guidance whatsoever on which fluids to use for testing and cleaning. I am currently experimenting. So far I have had good results with Mineral Spirits in the testing cycle. But in the cleaning tank, regular fuel injector cleaner, does not seem to work well. Any suggestions?

Product inoperable out of the box: Cleaning tank leaks - has a hole underneath where the tank was molded. Also the display does not work at all. No quality assurance whatsoever with this product.

Works great does what I need it to do. Saved me a ton of money.

Muy buena herramienta

The CT500 arrived with ONE broken glass cylinder. Glass was EVERYWHERE - including inside the Testing Agent TANK. Large chunks and small chunks; and extremely fine pulverized glass powder. Which would destroy a Fuel Injector; since Glass does not dissolve. Took TWO days of total disassembly and cleaning efforts to remove all of the glass. Just from (1) tube!! And although I believe it will no longer damage a fuel injector - there still exists fine glass powder. Remove glass powder; and a bit later - more is on a surface. Insane. There are NO loose parts. I purchased a CT500 direct from Amazon. The unopened box had a loose parts rattle sound. I was also dealing with a pricing deal - that Amazon wasn’t honoring. Found a brand new CT500 cheaper - ordered it. It arrived a few days later. It also had a loose parts rattle sound. Returned the UNOPENED (I did NOT open it - at all) CT500 to Amazon. After that - I opened up the newly arrived CT500. To discover the “loose parts rattle” sound was all of the BROKEN GLASS rattling around. I believe the glass tube broke in the FACTORY. There are “fine” small particles of broken glass tube - in the SILICONE attaching the Inspection Lamp to the machine. They are Embedded INTO the silicone. After several communication attempts - Autool finally responded - and they are now apparently shipping a replacement cylinder. This is after I PURCHASED a replacement 110ml Cylinder from Ebay - due to the lack of response from Autool. But I believe the machine will be fine and function correctly, now that I have completely torn it apart and got the broke glass out of everywhere - and then put it back together. I did make a video - only 710 megs - but so far haven’t been able to upload it. Anyway - your choice to tear it apart and clean out the glass - or request a replacement machine. Not that easy to tear apart. I suggest starting with the Back Rear Panel - if you go that route. The Pressure gauge on the Machine measures the generated Pump Pressure. The Pump is located inside of the Testing Agent Tank. The drain port on the back side - drains ONLY the UltraSonic Cleaning Tank. The clear "tank level indicator" PVC tubing - is also used to Drain the Testing Agent Tank. I believe this is a good value - just very disappointed in the broke glass tube - and the resultant required cleaning efforts.
