Compatibility Overview

The VAICO V20-1373 is specifically engineered for BMW engines that use the V20-1373 radiator cap system. It matches the original specifications of OEM parts, guaranteeing seamless integration with existing cooling systems.

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the engine is cool and the cooling system has been drained to avoid pressure buildup.
2. Remove Old Cap: Unscrew the existing radiator cap using a suitable wrench or socket. Carefully lift it off, allowing any residual coolant to drain.
3. Clean Mounting Surface: Wipe the mounting area with a clean cloth to remove dust and old gasket material.
4. Apply New Gasket: Place the new gasket onto the cap’s sealing surface, ensuring it is centered for an even seal.
5. Screw In Cap: Align the cap with the mounting holes and tighten using a torque wrench to the manufacturer’s specified value (typically around 20–25 Nm).
6. Re‑fill Coolant: Refill the cooling system with the appropriate coolant mixture, then start the engine to check for leaks.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the gasket and cap regularly for signs of wear or cracking.
• Replace the radiator cap if any leakage is observed during operation.
• Avoid using excessive torque when tightening to prevent damage to threads.
• Keep the surrounding area clean to avoid debris entering the cooling system.
