Looking for a "coolant reservoir" cap around Johannesburg

[Dylan_G]

Hi,

Lost the cap to my radiator/coolant reservoir after a trip to the garage. (yes, I know)

Where would I be able to find a replacement for this in and around (northern) Johannesburg? It's for a 2004 Toyota Corolla.

Took this pic a while ago... Cap in question is circled:

Cap doesnt have to be specific its a non pressurised tank, any cap with a hole in it for breathing will do for now. If you find a cap that fits make a hole in it push some fishtank piping in it just a short way and tuck it away to breathe out of.it must not be a sealing cap.

My neighbor lost a coolant knob on Toyota and found a 3d model, just 3d printed it with ABS fireproof filament and it worked pretty well until he found a proper one.

Thanks! Was thinking about something like this.

Thought I'd just get a proper replacement cap, but this would be nice to look into.

Where would I be

You should drive around more often, before the weeds engulf the engine ...

You know the people who make cars…they also sell the parts for those cars.

I think they are just parked on grass.

Which in itself is a terrible thing for cars if done often overnight.

try toyotapartsdirect.co.za

What about scrapyard?

How come?

It wasn't parked overnight, just curious.

Don't look like they have it.

Will need to check around for a close one. Don't know any of the scrap yard joints in JHB.

The condensation and moisture thrown up from the grass just eats cars alive over time.

Didn’t believe it myself until the woes starting a car in the morning instantly went away once my mechanic highlighted I shouldn’t park it on the grass overnight.
