At the moment, everything is fine with the exception of the backplate. It's leaking air and the cold idle is poor. The CEL will light up after the test mileage sequence is performed.

I do love the way it drives.........

Concentrated Ethylene-Glycol is flammable so yes, coolant does burn.

I just replaced my Coolant Tank pressure relief cap. I put on a 16# cap. Cap made by Stant. $6 at Walmarts. It fit very well and went on Tighter than the old original cap came off. I think my old one was shot. Not sure never saw any coolant leak.

The old Cap said 120 on it. I guess this is 120 degrees C. Boiling pressure for 120C is about 15-16 pounds. So I think I'm ok.

Anybody else use Stants caps on these cars?

They fit nice plus it has the Trigger in the middle to release pressure which I like.

Did I do anything wrong that I may regret later? Figured I'd ask here.

TY

120 on the cap is 1.2 atmospheres=17.6 psi.

The 16 psi cap will be fine.

Your SD has an OM617 engine, right? The OM617 engine in my '85 300D-T has a 120 cap on the expansion tank and that is the factory cap so you are OK.
