Product Description

This Moca CAP EXPANSION TANK 1.1/1.2 BAR is designed specifically for Volkswagen cooling systems, serving as a critical pressure cap for the expansion tank. It helps maintain the correct pressure within the cooling circuit, ensuring your engine operates at optimal temperatures. The cap is constructed from durable blue plastic with user-friendly grip sections and clear warning symbols for safe handling.

This cooling pressure cap is compatible with various Volkswagen models. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure correct fitment, as pressure ratings and designs can vary across models.

Common symptoms of a faulty expansion tank cap include coolant leaks around the cap, overheating, a loss of coolant without visible leaks, collapsed or swollen radiator hoses, steam from the expansion tank, low coolant warning lights, and fluctuating temperature readings. You might also notice a sweet smell from leaking coolant or visible cracks in the cap.

It is important to replace the expansion tank cap if it shows signs of wear, damage, or if your cooling system is not holding pressure. A compromised cap can lead to engine overheating and potential damage, so regular inspection and prompt replacement are advised.
