Radiator caps
Posted: Sat Jul 08, 2023 9:59 pm
I have a MK1 2000 with a normal bottle on it. At some point the radiator has been changed to one with horns on. Not the usual squared off one.
Just lately it has ben boiling a bit and blowing off water. What I need to know is whether there is any reason, that the radiator cap, for this radiator needs to be a more than the 7lb that is on it. It has only recently started to play up. I have a 13lb (which I have not fitted) and a new 7lb which I probably will.. and just hoping it is something that one of you knows something about.
Just for interest why are there 2 different strength caps?
If not, will have to look elsewhere for the problem. Which would be a shame!!
