Hello,
I hasitat whether I should connect the end of the breather tube (marked at the image, correctly I blocked it) that is near the filler cap to the tube that goes from the radiator to the excess tank, with a T coonector, what do you think?

What is the purpose of this non-factory setup? Is there not a radiator cap on the radiator, with a tube that runs to the coolant reservoir? If there is (and there should be), then there's no need for the tube shown to be doing anything or going anywhere.
Just make sure the non-factory rad cap has a higher pressure rating than the one on the radiator. This will ensure that coolant never exits the indicated tube.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 06-22-2024).]

cheap aftermarket radiator? though it looks like he's using the sensor in the cap for something

Hi, thanks for the responses, it was like this when I bought the car, I think the sensor is a heat sensor that is connected to a water temperature clock in the alternative clock unit that is in the car, I'm about to replace the entire dashboard, maybe I'll cancel this heat sensor and connect to the original heat sensor, I'd be happy to cancel Sort this whole unit and the sensor with the ugly cable connecting the pipe directly to the radiator, it just bothers me that you can't vacuum the cooling water in the radiator cap because it's terribly compressed there, the question is if it can be done from the back through the opening of the thermostat? I would love to hear what you think

Yes, no doubt it's a coolant temperature sender. I suspect there are much better places to locate that sender on the engine if you wish to retain the aftermarket temperature gauge it connects to.

I don't understand what you're saying... I think something got lost in the translation. There's no need for that additional radiator cap and fitting on the hose. Anything/everything you need to do with the cooling system can be done with the original factory setup. The cooling system is filled at the thermostat housing on the engine, not at the radiator. Just make sure the coolant level is correct in the reservoir as well.
