NO MESS FUNNEL
Sep 28th
Designed to simplify and streamline the coolant filling process for a wide range of cars and vans, this Anti-Spill Coolant Funnel set (part number 8638), includes a funnel with a shut-off valve and lid, along with five adaptor caps to fit various vehicles, including popular models from Ford and Vauxhall/Opel.
The adaptors connect directly to the header or expansion tank, then the funnel is fitted onto the adaptor – this enables fast, leak-free and effective coolant re-filling or topping-up. The funnel is fitted with a shut-off valve that enables precise control over the flow and helps prevent over-filling and coolant spillage.
