The Radiator FIAT Water Tank (OEM Number 46440542) is an essential component of the cooling system in FIAT vehicles, designed to manage coolant expansion and maintain stable pressure during engine operation. Commonly used in models like the FIAT Punto, Panda, and 500 (typically 2005–2015) with 1.2L and 1.4L petrol engines, it stores excess coolant as temperatures rise, preventing overflow and pressure spikes, then returns coolant to the system as the engine cools. Constructed from robust, heat-resistant plastic, it features a translucent body for easy visual inspection of fluid levels and a pressure-rated cap (usually 1.0–1.2 bar) to ensure system integrity. With a capacity of approximately 1–1.5 liters, it integrates seamlessly into the engine bay via OEM-specific mounting brackets and hose connections. This water tank minimizes air pockets, reduces coolant evaporation, and prevents overheating, safeguarding critical components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat. Its corrosion-resistant design and secure fittings ensure durability, making it vital for maintaining efficient cooling performance in urban driving and varying climates.
