Fitment: Fits selected Mercedes-Benz models. Confirm exact fitment before ordering.
Product Description
Ensure your Mercedes-Benz’s cooling system maintains optimal pressure with the Arrowhead CAP EXPANSION TANK 1.4 BAR. This cooling pressure cap is designed to regulate and maintain the correct pressure in your vehicle’s expansion tank, helping to prevent coolant loss and overheating. The robust plastic construction features a threaded base for secure fitment and a built-in pressure relief valve to release excess pressure safely.
This part is compatible with select Mercedes-Benz models, including popular variants like the Sprinter 906 and Vito W639. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code to guarantee correct fitment. Using the right pressure cap is essential for the proper functioning of your cooling system.
Common symptoms of a faulty expansion tank cap include coolant leaks around the cap, overheating, loss of coolant with no visible leaks, collapsed or swollen radiator hoses, and irregular coolant levels. You may also notice warning lights on your dashboard or steam escaping from the expansion tank area.
Replace your cooling pressure cap if you notice signs of wear, visible damage, or pressure loss. It is also recommended to change the cap during routine cooling system maintenance or when replacing the expansion tank.
