Product Description

The Moca CAP EXPANSION TANK 1.4BAR is a vital component in your BMW's cooling system, designed to maintain the correct pressure within the radiator and expansion tank. This pressure cap ensures the system operates at 1.4 bar, helping to prevent coolant loss and overheating during normal and demanding driving conditions.

This cooling pressure cap is suitable for select BMW models. It is important to confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before purchasing to ensure proper fitment. Compatibility covers various BMW vehicles, so check your owner's manual or consult with MiMi Auto Parts if you are unsure.

A failing or worn expansion tank cap can cause several issues, including coolant leaks, overheating, or a drop in coolant system pressure. Other symptoms may include frequent low coolant warnings, visible steam from the engine bay, or a collapsed radiator hose. These signs indicate the cap may no longer be holding the correct pressure.

Replacing the expansion tank pressure cap is a straightforward but essential maintenance step when you notice symptoms of failure or during routine cooling system servicing. Always ensure you use a cap rated for the correct pressure, as specified by your vehicle manufacturer.

Shop with confidence at MiMi Auto Parts. We offer nationwide delivery across South Africa and are ready to assist you in finding the right cooling pressure cap for your BMW. Always verify compatibility before ordering to ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle.
