Not very much if it's broken.

Sorry, no clue. Which engine is it? Any more details?

No idea myself, I try to avoid doozles.

Marjon I believe has the TDV8 so good chance he knows.

As said, if it's broken then it needs replaced

Not been in amongst mine but.
Is it the thermostat bypass relief valve?
Is it a one way valve spring loaded so if it opens fluid would come from engine then join to the main thermostat housing after it?

think we discuss one in the lower hose as some time.

If the pressure setting of the cap is too high, it will have no effect unless there is excess pressure in the system, in which case something will have to give.
