Oil Caps & Radiator Caps
Posted: Sun Sep 28, 2014 6:40 pm
Hi all, just a got a quick question... I've been having trouble lately with my oil filler cap, in that it doesn't seem to last very long. I replaced one a couple of years ago (it had cracked), and since then, I've found myself needing to replace them every few months, as they rattle around. Has anyone else had the same problem? I've been using Tridon caps (the press in one), but it seems they don't make 'em like they used to. Anyone else experienced anything similar on their 4G32?
And while I'm at it, I'm wondering what radiator caps people use. I've got a 16PSI one on there at the moment, but I'm sure it's wrong... the workshop manual says 14PSI is the way to go. I do have a Sigma radiator, but that shouldn't make a difference to the pressure of the system. I've noticed that with the 16PSI cap, there's less coolant (slightly) in the radiator, and my reservoir keeps filling... I'd be thinking a CA15100 or CA1495 recovery cap would be the way to go...
What do you think???
