b19drg 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Having a few coolant probs right now have a bust top hose , so I am in process of sorting the problems , i want to get a new expansion tank and cap so went to GSF today and they dont have any thing listed for VR6 tank the only one they had was slightly smaller and round instead of oval ish but did have all the right bits in all the right places for fitting ! does anyone know if this can be fitted ?

b19drg 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 I dont know , went to GSF and they didnt have a VR6 one so may go for this one its just slightly smaller i think and not oval ! Link to post Share on other sites

b19drg 0 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Try euro car parts mate No they dont have them either , in exeter its funny because GSF is next door to Eurocar parts ! so tried both, do you reckon the round non oval will be ok its got all the plugs and seems right ? this is doing my head in plus i have no aux water pump , is that a big deal or not ?

Ben Seabrook 4 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Should be mate as long as it holds the same amount of liquid I can't see why it would be a problem ! Link to post Share on other sites
