Product Description

The Moca Expansion Tank is a crucial component in your Ford's cooling system, designed to manage coolant overflow and maintain optimal engine temperature. Constructed from durable, translucent plastic, this cooling water bottle features multiple hose connection ports, a large threaded fill opening, and integrated mounting tabs for secure installation.

This expansion tank is compatible with a range of Ford models, including Bantam, Ikon, and Fiesta IV and V, with 1.3, 1.4, and 1.6 engines from 1986 onwards. Always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure proper fitment.

Common symptoms of a failing expansion tank include coolant leaks, low coolant warnings, visible cracks, engine overheating, and steam from the engine bay. You may also notice fluctuating temperature readings or a persistent coolant smell under the bonnet.

If you observe any of these symptoms, it is important to replace the expansion tank promptly to prevent engine damage. Over time, plastic tanks can become brittle and develop leaks, especially under South African driving conditions.
