⚙️ Key Features

🔌 Function

Holds the coolant reserve and gives the system somewhere to expand into as it heats, keeping the circuit full and pressurised so the coolant can run above its atmospheric boiling point.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant level dropping with no obvious leak elsewhere
• Coolant loss from the cap or overflow when the engine is shut down hot
• Steam or a sweet smell around the tank after a hard run
• Staining, crusting or a weeping seam on the tank body
• Corrosion pinholes or a split neck found once the tank is cleaned

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit the 100 kPa cap 23321023 - a cap of the wrong rating will either vent early or over-pressurise the circuit
• Pressure test the cap as well as the tank before deciding which is at fault
• At close to 40 kg this needs planned lifting and two people
