FAQs

What is the opening pressure of this radiator cap?

The Febi Radiator Cap 32386 has an opening pressure of 1.45 bar.

Can I use this radiator cap on any vehicle?

This cap is specifically designed to replace OE part number 1867 861. Always verify compatibility with your vehicle's specific make, model, and year, or consult a parts specialist.

What material is the radiator cap made of?

The radiator cap is made of plastic.

Does this cap come with installation instructions?

Typically, Febi radiator caps are supplied without fitting instructions. Installation should be performed by a competent individual.

How often should I check my radiator cap?

It is recommended to inspect your radiator cap regularly, ideally during routine maintenance checks, for any signs of wear, damage, or deterioration of the seal.

What happens if my radiator cap fails?

A failing radiator cap can cause the cooling system to lose pressure, leading to a lower boiling point for the coolant. This can result in the coolant boiling over, causing the engine to overheat and potentially leading to severe engine damage.

What is the weight of this radiator cap?

The weight of the Febi Radiator Cap 32386 is approximately 0.07 kg.

Troubleshooting

Cooling system continues to overheat after replacing the cap.

The radiator cap may not be the sole cause of overheating. Check other cooling system components such as the thermostat, water pump, radiator, and cooling fans. Ensure the correct coolant mixture and level are maintained.

Cap feels loose or does not seal properly.

Ensure the cap is the correct part number for your vehicle and that the sealing surface on the expansion tank is clean and undamaged. If the expansion tank neck is damaged, it may require replacement.

Visible wear or damage on the rubber seal of the cap.

Replace the radiator cap immediately. A damaged seal will prevent the system from holding pressure, leading to potential overheating.
