I need help installing mine. There’s pipe that goes from the expansion tank Where exactly does it go to the back of the engine. Or do a quick video on an Audi 1.8 tfsi

While I was watching your video I smelt coolant! Is this possible?
@utsav.sarkar3 ай бұрын
I had the same crack in same place. I was told it was because I had an oil leak, so the engine overheated and damaged the coolant tank.

I believe it’s a common fault with the tank

Hi, thanks for watching I was told it’s to keep the coolant from going off if that’s true or not I don’t know
@ratneat Жыл бұрын
really useful, I have crack on the reservoir in exact same place. May ask between 2:14 and 2:17 the coolant has gone from the reservoir, did you remove this off camera or did you collect it as it came out the pipe you removed at the bottom? thanks!

I was thinking the same thing. I'm about to replace mine and wanted to see the best way to capture as much of the current coolant as possible to avoid mess 😅
