Jan Hall Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Hi.I have recently brought a Ford Fiesta zetec. I was checking the water coolant level and when I took off the screw top therewith another black stopper inside. How do you get the coolant in with this blocking it please? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am fairly sure your tank cap has broken. It is a fairly common problem, the O ring on the inner part gets stiffer with time, the plastic links get weaker, and it pulls apart when removed. First get a new tank cap, then try to pry out the inner part that is stuck in by any means that preferably does not damage the tank. Drilling holes in the old cap and using pliers may be one option.
