Product Description

Keep your vehicle's cooling system operating efficiently with this brand new CAP EXPANSION TANK 1.4BAR, designed for BMW and Toyota models. This pressure cap is a crucial part of the cooling system, maintaining the correct pressure in the expansion tank to prevent overheating and coolant loss. It features a robust plastic construction with clear warning and informational symbols for safe handling and proper installation.

This cap is suitable for select BMW 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7 Series models (including 220i to 740d with B46, B47, B48, B57, and B58 engines from 2018 onwards) and compatible Toyota vehicles. Always confirm your vehicle’s model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure the correct fit.

Common symptoms of a failing expansion tank cap include coolant leaks around the cap, overheating, fluctuating coolant levels, or warning lights on your dashboard. If you notice hissing sounds, visible cracks, or a loose fit, it’s likely time for a replacement.

Replacing a faulty pressure cap is essential to maintain the correct system pressure, prevent coolant loss, and avoid engine overheating. It is a straightforward replacement, but always ensure the engine is cool before removing the cap, and check your owner’s manual for the correct pressure rating.
