Split header tank.

Post by bradders89 »

I seem to be having trouble with my header tank splitting. It's the second one in a year. I'm running a Subaru 2.0 n/a. Has anyone used a alloy replacement or can I even get a alloy one to fit?

I bought a Just Kampers one that leaked at the seam from day one.
Replaced with one from VW van parts place.
