They only go on one way; cannot be reversed.
Radiator caps
Our VQ40 has 2 radiator looking caps.
The one on the radiator is just a cap with a rubber seal.
The overflow has the internal spring/relief valve.
I've never seen that before. I didnt think the overflow would be part of the pressurised system.
Are my caps on correctly?

Well I was half right. The spring-loaded cap will fit either the radiator or the expansion bottle, but the radiator cap (with rubber seal only) will not fit the expansion bottle because the tabs are too large for the slots on the bottle.Not correct. There was a member who put a spring loaded pressure cap on the radiator and overheated.
The cap with the rubber seal on the radiator and the traditional cap with the spring goes on the bottle on the fender.
