Expansion tank leak before & after pics

[2fast]

Got a hair line crack in the tank had to glue& bog it up as this is my daily ride!
Got part and swapped it out,Two weeks later
Check out my pic's.

The plastic was so brittle you could run your fingernail against & it would turn to powder!

It was the original ,had a factory clip on one of the lines.

Now I can check my coolant level with out shaking the car its so clear!!

I also changed my one 2 years ago, the neck broke underneath when I wanted to remove the hose.
Better do it in advance before it breaks while driving, could be more costly then.
And better install a new one, not one from a 15 year old car, all plastic on these cars is brittle then.

I got a hair line crack under the right arrow fill line.

I smash open the old one and the dirty looking sludge was only a thin film mostly discoloured plastic.

Cost me $150 NZ(from $tealer) + clips and a litre coolant, an easy fix.

Looks good too.
