Expansion tank replacement

[Weston Matt]

Hi,

I have a leak on my expansion tank (or that area) so I’m going to replace it and the hoses. Any suggestions on what make?
Thanks

Hi mate

I’ve used Febi and Meyle and not had any issues.

Thanks Stuart

Both around the same price. Where did you get yours from?

I used Hella and likewise, it was fine. Only reason I chose that was because it came with a new sensor fitted. Not all of them do.
Autodoc is good if you don't mind waiting a while.

Hi big winn i am sure i need to place my exp tank. Am on the autodoc site looking at febi /meyle etc but not sure if there is an associated part i should be ordering; read about o rings / seals not working so well if re used for example.
It would bd helpful if the tank came with all necessary parts yo complete the job properly but didn't want to assume that.
Thanks for any thoughts

I fitted a Meyle tank back in August '17 (2 year warranty) and it's still going strong

Good to know patriot66. Any additional bits i should order to complete the job fo you think? Or just the tank & whatever it is supplied with...

Hoses are probably fine but I would get some new o-rings/gaskets etc
