Hi all
as title says, when engine is cooling down the coolant hose on the right hand side "goes flat" i.e. there seems to be vaccum in the system. I suspect that overpressure valve is ok, but is it nor releiving the coolant/pressure back in the system from the overflow tank. Suspect a defect filler cap, as far is I can read there should be some over/under pressure valves in the cap, is that correct? Release pressure should be 1,5 bar.
Question is....can it be fixed, meaning can you just clean the cap/replace something or is it not worth the hazzle? Better to replace the cap completely?
Manual says that filler pipe and cap ,must be replaced as a unit
