Installation Guide

1. Locate the coolant expansion tank on your vehicle. It is typically a small, cylindrical container positioned near the radiator.
2. Remove any existing cap or seal by twisting it counter‑clockwise. If the old cap is damaged, discard it and prepare for replacement.
3. Inspect the gasket area on the tank to ensure no debris or corrosion remains. Clean gently if necessary.
4. Place the new VAICO V20-1879 cap onto the tank opening. Align the threads correctly.
5. Tighten by twisting clockwise until secure, but avoid overtightening which could damage the gasket.
6. Check for any leaks around the seal after a short test run of the engine to confirm proper installation.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect the cap and gasket for signs of wear or cracking. Replace immediately if any damage is observed.
• Avoid exposing the cap to extreme temperatures outside its specified range, as this can compromise material integrity.
• Keep the surrounding area clean to prevent dirt from entering the seal during operation.
