Workshop Topic: CIRCUIT Radiator Caps

[OTEP]

I recently had to replace the radiator cap on the MB100 (the cap was 10 years old already). The rubber gaskets had swollen and had torn themselves off from the cap itself.

The only cap they had at the auto supply were Circuit brand radiator caps. The ones that claim to use silicone (instead of rubber gaskets). So I buy one for Php150.00.

Are there any other Tsikoteers who use this brand of cap? How well does it hold up?

Follow up question. The OEM cap of the MB100 is rated at 1.4, the Circuit cap is rated at 0.9 (I forgot the unit of measurement). How will the lower rating affect the cooling system?

Thanks!

im not sure kung circuit radiator cap yung akin, i had to replace may rad cap din kasi. the box it was in said it used silicone. so far no problem naman, its been 2 months.

dun sa rating ng cap ngayon ko lang narinig yan hehe, i wasn't paying attention sa rate nung bumili ako ng cap, i just wanted the right size kasi .

ano pala nangyari sa "The Workshop" forums? di ko na makita eh hehe
