As I understand it- they are on Revision 9 or 10 of the radiator and its mountings....

You would have thought with all the trads suffering failures from the plastic capped rads - which has been an ongoing issue for many years, that MMC would have paid particular attention to potential radiator issues in the CX cars

Thank goodness we have aftermarket suppliers like SiFab

As we dont drive so fast the cap stay closed but the pressure
Damage the radiator.Now they have placed a cap with lower pressure values.

Not easy to explain in english ,sorry



I recept a radiator cap from my dealer. The release is done at a much lower pressure.

I also had to remove the equivalent of a glass of coolant to reach 7 cm in the jar.
