Given that its plastic, in an engine bay, thats seen alot of heating and cooling cycles, might aswell change it instead of farting about trying to use the old one.

@@diykhan There’s a couple of things and I’m doing it myself as I can’t afford to get it done professionally but the main things are: 1. There’s an oil leak towards the back of the engine, I cannot locate it anywhere. I think this is why I get the white smoke from the engine bay when it gets too hot. 2. It sounds like a tractor. It’s got a rattle and just generally runs rough and nothing I do is able to fix it. 3. I’m always being alerted that my DPF is blocked and I’m not completely sure on how to clean it out. There’s a bit of a history on the car, but long story short I’ve had to replace my turbo twice due to it blowing.
@@diykhan I also forgot to mention that when driving the steering wheel vibrates and almost like it knocks. The rear wheels also scrub whenever I hit a slight bump or have weight in the back of the car.
You can remove the cap without breaking it. Just uses picks or small flat head and lift it off.

@@diykhan no I haven’t as yet. Is that a simple job?

Did it help the smoking issue?
Yes it did.
