Removing difficult to access coolant expansion tank caps with ease 21 June 2024

Certain VW Group vehicles coolant expansion tank caps can be difficult to remove, due to restricted access on the vehicle as well as sticking seals due to the constant heating and cooling. Laser Tools has just introduced a solution – a coolant cap wrench (part number 8819).

This ring type wrench exhibits a slim design to gain access to restricted areas, it fits over the expansion tank cap then is easily turned by a 3/8 inch drive ratchet or bar.

Applications for this cap wrench are extensive, as well as VW, the tool can also be used for some Audi and Seat vehicles with tank caps of similar specifications.
