Valeo Info:

Overpressure in a radiator can be quite harmful. The radiator cap, which is spring loaded, rises to release the excess pressure.

A damaged radiator cap causes the car to overheat frequently.

  • Maintain proper coolant levels and check level monthly.
  • Never attempt to remove a radiator cap while the engine is hot or running.
  • Replace coolant with a mixture of antifreeze and water according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations
  • Check engine belts for cracks or missing sections, check belt tension
  • Evaluate radiator and radiator cap for leaks, corrosion, worn cap gasket
  • Examine hoses approximately every 12 months. Look for leaks, cracks or rot.
  • Replace when showing signs of wear.
