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:D
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.
