Detailed Description

VAICO V20-0062 is a radiator cap for BMW vehicles that require a 1.2 bar pressure rating. The cap’s 64 mm length and width, along with its 41.5 mm height, are important for correct seating and sealing in the radiator filler neck. This makes it a practical replacement for maintaining the cooling system’s pressure balance on BMW 528e, BMW 325e, BMW 325es, BMW 318i, and BMW 533i models.

This part cross-references Anchor 10255 and Gates 31542 for the same application. The V20-0062 part number is also useful when verifying interchange references against OE-style listings and BMW cooling system catalogs.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring radiator cap pressure retention on BMW cooling systems
• Replacing a cap that no longer seals correctly
• Addressing coolant loss caused by a weak or worn cap
• Supporting stable operating pressure in the radiator
• Correcting fitment issues from an incorrect cap size or rating

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the radiator neck size and pressure rating before installation. Confirm the cap seats fully and locks into place without resistance or looseness. Inspect the radiator filler neck, sealing surfaces, and coolant condition at the same time to help ensure proper system performance. Use the vehicle fitment list to confirm application before ordering V20-0062.
