I have what I believe is the Volvo original green expansion tank cap on my 98 V90(960). I have had no issues in the 6 months I have owned this car. I have a grey expansion tank cap from my previous 93 940. I have read negative things about the green cap and it's pressure rating(to high??). Should I leave well enough alone or change to the grey cap? It is the original radiator, Nissens I believe.

Thanks!

    The grey cap has a tendency to crack. Leave the green cap on if it's functioning properly. This engine was designed and set up to run at the 22 psi of the green cap.

    In fact I changed over the grey cap on our 95 960 (it cracked) to the newer green cap which I believe supercedes it now.

      Thanks DEWFPO. Come to think of it, I had ordered new caps a year or more ago and the green ones are what eEuroparts.com sent me. So I think you are right on with that!
