This cap serves as the pressure seal for the coolant expansion tank, keeping the cooling system at the correct pressure. It regulates venting to the overflow reservoir, preventing blowback, leaks, and overpressure while helping avoid coolant loss, boiling, and overheating.

It replaces earlier versions: 99610644700, 99610644701, 99610644702, 99610644703

Why replacement matters:
• An old or worn cap may fail to hold pressure, causing coolant to boil, vaporize, or overflow
• A bad cap can allow air to enter the cooling system, leading to overheating, hot spots, or poor cooling performance
• A leaking or weak cap can lead to gradual coolant loss, requiring refills and risking engine damage

Installing an OE-Match version restores proper pressure control, reliable sealing, and helps maintain engine temperature stability.
