Drivetrain aluminum coolant surge tank
aluminum coolant surge tank
Any of you replaced your stock plastic coolant surge tank with one of the Chinese aluminum tanks? My cap is missing and I can't find a cap that will fit, so instead of buying another plastic tank, I'm thinking aluminum would be better.
Me and my buddy replaced ours last year. Easy job made easier with a friend and some good beer. Don't know it's origin, Chinese or Icelandic, but ebay was our source at around $90.00 and the OE cap fit just fine.
We used a baster to remove the coolant and kept it in a clean jar. The clamps need care in removal and can be reused, loosen them and slide them down the hose so you can slide them back up to re-attach. Dampen your finger with coolant to lube the posts to help slide the hoses back on.
