Normal procedure for a suspect cap is to fit a new one (less than a tenner)

Hey Ghost! Sorry to be slow in replying, but I got the tank from Brickwerks. The original VW part no.is 025 121 407A but VW replaced it with 025 121 407 B. Other companies have a "replacement" but it is not the same configuration. (For the record I have a 1990 T25 1.9 water cooled Transporter.) I did not replace the cap.

That's a very low price on the Red G12+


Also noticed that they are now selling the Purple G13 ... works out at quite a lot more money tho..

£24.68 for 16 litres of ready mix....not too bad I suppose.

Is it true that the "buzzer of death" (i.e. the oil pressure alarm) also kicks in if the coolant level is too low?

Pretty sure that's just the flashing red light...errrrr flashes lol.
