OE 214308998E — Radiator Cap for Hyundai / Kia

Position depends on the platform. On most Hyundai / Kia applications the radiator cap sits on the cooling system assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

Stock references leave Guangzhou within 7 working days. If 214308998E needs a production run, allow 25-35 days depending on quantity and surface treatment. The schedule is confirmed in writing when the order is placed.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

Report it with the order number and packing-list line plus photographs. Because every carton is photographed before loading, we can trace the batch immediately and settle the claim against the inspection record instead of arguing from memory.

For a short distance at reduced load, usually yes — but the risk compounds. A degraded radiator cap transfers stress to neighbouring components, so a small repair can grow into a full cooling system rebuild. Book the replacement once the symptom is repeatable.

A supersession happens when the maker revises a radiator cap and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit.
