Radiator Cap

The radiator cap is the cover of the radiator and seals the filler neck. You must replace the cap if the component develops an issue that leads to problems like coolant leaks and the engine overheating. The radiator cap is found on the top of the radiator, and it is made from either metal or plastic. The radiator relies on the cap to stop the loss of coolant, keep the cooling system at the right pressure, and raise the coolant’s boiling point.
