Got a pace header tank on mine. The cap has started to release pressure so where do you get a high pressure cap from? I'm sure pace just supply the normal one

 

Rich,

Mines a pace tank & that accepts a standard Cossie cap, so speak to Alex & get a nice black one !!

Jus hope it is the cap !!

i had a forge header tank with std cap and never had any problems.

 

I've got a replacement cap on my bailey and releases pressure @ 98oc iirc

Steams rather well when your going down the back straight on a track day!

Does a normal yellow/black Ford cap fit it JB?

 

Bailey use a VW cap on their's Mk 2 Golf I think ??

Pace/Forge use the original Ford caps & Alex does a really nice black one !! better than the yello that stays yellow for like 10 seconds after removin from box !!

Your cap's might jus be old ?!?! You can hope

Rich,

Are you seeing high temps? It may be worth hooking up a pressure gauge to your cooling system, just T of one of the small pipes. I hope it's the cap but it's normally h/g issues that causes your symptom.

You could do a sniffer test in the header tank, that might be easier.

 

Which goes hand in hand with mega-boost .

 

It only when i switch the car off not when im driving? Does that make a difference? The cap is 6 years old

 

And Martin. No not hight temps. fan always comes on at 93 i think.

 

That does sound better!! Normally when it's H/G/F you will get water pushed past the cap when it's on boost, if that's not happening you might be lucky and it is just the cap. Get a new one on and let us know.

 

+ 1

 

I have a new standard yellow one?

 

1) how much

2) can you paint it black please

 

Vauxhall ones are black, and have a built in sender in them for a level light.

 

And it will fit a pace header tank for a cossie Chip?

 

Assuming its the same thread that the bailey one uses, then yes as I have one on mine.

 

The ford black tank cap are for high pressure. Alex has them.

 

Can you ask Alex how much please mate as i dont have his number

 

Jus so ya know, Ford caps & Bailey/VW caps are different thread so wont fit

I did say speak to Alex like months ago !!

it ok gents. All sorted thanks to Mike R. He has one laying around, my bailey turbo damper broke so i am paying for the replacement part on the damper and the cap comes FOC

 

It didn't break, it came loose and fell out while you were mapping .

 

Im telling you Mike, Deano did that hanger up the same as any other cossie

 

Okay have it his way, it exerted 7 tons of pressure and snapped it .
