Coolant Tank Cap

Repair

Risk Warning

The risk of driving a Volkswagen car with a coolant tank cap problem is that it can allow coolant to evaporate from the tank. This can cause the engine to overheat more quickly than normal. This can cause serious damage to the engine, such as cracked cylinder heads, blown head gaskets, or other expensive repair costs. If the engine were to seize or stall while driving, it could cause a dangerous situation. Additionally, the coolant can leak onto other parts of the vehicle, causing potential corrosion and other damage.

FAQ

What is a Coolant Tank Cap?

A coolant tank cap is the small cover at the top of the coolant expansion/reservoir tank which helps to keep the coolant level in the tank maintained. It also helps to keep the coolant in the tank from evaporating and keeps the system sealed to maintain the pressure of coolant in the system.

What are the symptoms of a malfunctioning Coolant Tank Cap?

A malfunctioning Coolant Tank Cap may cause your vehicle to overheat, as well as burning oil smell and leaking coolant. The radiator may also become clogged.

Can a Coolant Tank Cap be repaired or should it be replaced?

If the Coolant Tank Cap is showing signs of wear and tear, it is best to replace it for safety reasons. A technician at Volks Maniac Garage can check to see if the cap is still functional and if necessary, replace it with a new one.

How can I check if I need to repair or replace the Coolant Tank Cap?

If you’re seeing any signs of damage on the cap, such as cracks or a broken seal, then you should replace it. You can also check the coolant level in the tank – if it’s low, then it could indicate a leak in the cap and you’d need to replace it.
