Supercharged 2 Posted June 21, 2010 New tanks for 4 cyl Corrado's from VW are only £12+vat and slightly cheaper via TPS - I'd just stick to the Corrado part now Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GlosterOx 0 Posted June 21, 2010 do I bother with the blue cap? I assume I'll get a new black one with my bottle The bottle doesn't come with a cap - AFAIK if you order a new cap then a blue one is supplied. Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SamG40 0 Posted September 27, 2010 Just a quick thread to say ta to Kev for starting the original thread and idea. Did this tonight and the hardest bit was getting the wires out of the clip! My old expansion tank which was only 18 months old was leaking so hoping to sort two problems at once with this. My wiring and top hose managed to fit without extending anything.

OllieVR6 0 Posted July 29, 2012 (edited) I've done this today. Not sure if I got the right tank (I used the part number of the first page) but it didn't fit to the existing bracket. I had to shave a small locating lug off the bottom of the tank and turn it 90 degrees clockwise. This was for 2 reasons - The wiring for the level sensor wasn't long enough and the 'T' piece wasn't in the right place. The only problems I foresee are that I have secured it with only one screw and the 'min / max' marks are round the back so not as easy to see as they should be (I can still see them from the correct angle). How did everyone else get these to fit? I'll take a photo when I'm next at the car. EDIT - Just read the whole thread rather than the first post. Wish I had read it all before now! At least I can go back and fix my errors. Just need to work out how to extend the wiring on the sensor plug. Edited July 29, 2012 by OllieVR6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robo22sri 10 Posted July 29, 2012 The wiring is easy bud it's just an open and closed signal Get a small gauge wiring like 3 amps and solder it and re wrap :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
