Coolant Tank

Post by sleeper78 »

hi every one,

does anyone know where i can can get a header tank for my 83 1.9 petrol T25?

i can't find a new one anywhere, all the VW suppliers tell me its discontinued. i bought a second hand one about 5 months ago but that too has now strung a leak along one of the seams.

is there an aftermarket company producing them somewhere?

thanks.

thanks, but my tank looks different to this one. i think this maybe the later one? my tank has a presurised radiator type cap not the screw on resovior one. not sure if i can change it to this type?

Perhaps drop Baxter an email or give him a ring with your engine number; he'll be able to work out what you should have in there.

You could try VW.
They still stock the same one as Baxter......
