Black filter/cap under coolant cap won't budge - ellis0896 - 17:th-Jan-2017

When I unscrew the cap to the coolant tank there's a black cap or filter there that won't come out, coolant won't seep through it either so I can't put any in.

That's strange can you get a picture?

That looks like it's separated from the cap it's self as it shouldn't be there, you will need to get it out.

That what I was thinking, should I get some pliers and pull it out?


RE: Black filter/cap under coolant cap won't budge - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Jan-2017

Yes pliers should work.

Yeah that's worked thanks Rusty, I was able to click that black bit of plastic into the cap. It was basically the seal to keep the pressure I believe.

Cool glad that's sorted.
