My header tank was leaking and huge clouds of steam billowing up when the water spilt onto the exhaust. When I removed the header tank cap, one of the two valves fell off (the hole in the cap on the left in the photo). So I bought a new one, but the valve arrangement look totally different. Is this right?



[BTW, the broken valve in the cap wasn't actually the cause of the problem - that was the coolant level sensor which had cracked where it screws into the header tank! But it might explain why the expansion tank was always empty...]

The one on the right may well be a direct replacement for the one on the left,,,,,,,,,You are correct to question this central valve arrangement but as long as it allows coolant to ebb and flow you should have no problems....

PS, It may be due to a copy right issue as to why it is not the same as the origonal one....
