catastrada Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 On my friend's Duratec R500 he is having a small coolant leak since the beginning. Today he tested the expansion cap and it is opening at 6 psi instead of 16psi... Does anybody know where from is coming this cap. Is it a Ford part ?

paul abrahams Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I had this issue on an R400 duratec. I used to notice small droplets of coolant on the top of the rad after a spirited blat. Caterham parts provided a new cap which sorted the problem, and it has been fine ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catastrada Posted April 15, 2010 Author Share Posted April 15, 2010 Thank you for your reply I asked the question because if it was a Ford part (for example) it's easier for us to by it directly to the local Ford dealer (here in France) compared to order it to UK.

Rattie Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 I thinkit's more likely to be a Land Rover part, as the expansion tank is IIRC from a Landy. I would be surprised if it was a Duratec specific part. Martyn R300GRR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
