Technical Replacement Coolant Reservoir

[johnsalomon]

Hi there,

I've been searching forever for a replacement coolant expansion tank since mine's been leaking, and thanks to this forum I found a site that appears to sell them: https://barchettaparts.com/en/tank-for-coolwater

That said, while searching, I stumbled across a whole bunch of these aluminium "universal" expansion tanks: Amazon product ASIN B08F4T9DYN
I haven't measured the space out yet, and assuming they even fit and I could figure out a mounting bracket (they seem to come with hose adapters), does anyone have experience with these? Am I better off just getting one of the barchettaparts ones?

Nyet. The barchettaparts one is easier anyway, as it's shipping within EU, even if it's a bit pricier than others I've found online.

Vaguely related, am I nuts or are many of the online auto spare parts vendors across Europe all the same outfit? I get the impression there's maybe 2-3 firms that run a ton of different shops under slightly different domain names and visuals/languages, but all pretty much the same...

Hi John Salomon,
I have just searched on AutoDoc and found several coolant tanks replacements. Try https://www.autodoc.co.uk/spares-search?keyword=coolant+reservoir. Their service is first class.
