cymru-corrado 0 Posted December 31, 2005 after the normal mass of cooling problems everyone gets and thought i had sorted,my expansion tank seems to have a leak,and is causing pressure build up/overheating/headache etc. tank i had was from gsf,but heard there abit dodgy anyway (looks like a i got one)water is coming out halfway along the seem bit and def not out of the valve. with this in mind will prob get a new tank and cap from vw dealer,anyone got idea of price on these though?

Supercharged 2 Posted January 1, 2006 Yeah, don't buy GSF/ECP tanks... The cap will be about the same price at the dealers if you get good discount... I'm not sure of the quality of the Halfords ones... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sciroccotune 0 Posted January 2, 2006 was it any good though? my gsf tank seemed fine at the time 2months down the line caboom! seems fine, if not the same as the vag one. if it dies take it back and they will change it...but hey for 2.50 or something extra go vag (they were closed on newyears eve when i needed onr so i went halfords) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
