- Abnormal cooling system pressure: The radiator cap is responsible for maintaining the proper pressure in the cooling system, ensuring that the coolant does not boil at high temperatures. The wrong cap may not maintain the correct pressure, causing the coolant to boil prematurely, affecting heat dissipation efficiency.
- Coolant leakage: An unmatched radiator cap may not seal effectively, causing coolant leakage, which in turn causes problems such as battery or motor overheating.
- Battery or motor overheating: A radiator cap failure can affect the circulation of coolant, causing the battery or motor to overheat, which may damage key components and affect vehicle performance and safety.
- Cooling system damage: The wrong radiator cap may cause a vacuum or excessive pressure in the cooling system, damaging the radiator or other components and increasing repair costs.
