Is Your Radiator Cap in Need of Replacement? How to Inspect and Determine Its Condition on 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

Look at the radiator cap from above and confirm that the bottom valve opens; replace the cap if the rubber gasket makes it hard for the valve to open. After washing, turn the cleaned cap upside down and search for a light between the vent valve and the rubber seal; if you notice light, replace the cap. When you buy a new cap, make sure it fits coolant reserve systems and does not have a spring to seal the vent, since this is required for good coolant return to the radiator.
