Hi I just noticed my coolant cap doesn't tighten on correctly - see attached. The cap itself is tight and I'm not leaking coolant but I thought the logo is supposed to be straight. Youtube videos all show it straight when tight.

I read somewhere pressure is vented from the cap so I'm a bit concerned that I have a faulty cap and it may cause a problem.

Advice is appreciated

if it's tight it's tight, the function of the vent won't matter. I mean if you want to buy a new cap it won't kill you and you could let us know

Thanks for your reply. I had a closer look at the cap.

There's two plastic prongs. The first, with the cap graphics straight, hits a nib but the cap is loose. When tightened, the second tab reaches that spot. I'm not sure if my cap or coolant resouvoir has a problem or if its normal. Below are pictures.

Tight is the only criteria. The orientation of the cap is happenstance.
