What was wrong with the stock tank? Mine is 24 years old and still works fine.

 

The stock tanks are designed to achieve their glorious golden patina only after years and years of aging. The reason they start off white is because there is no economically viable way to produce the color in a factory.

 

@kxlara , did you ever get this sorted out?

 

+1 for the stock expansion tank on these cars, you don't see old *** yellow/orange ones in MANY MANY MANY cars if there were issues with them. IMO this is one application where an aluminum expansion tank adds absolutely zero value. If you're having issues already, pull that thing immediately and put the stock expansion tank back and forget about it.

Agreed. I always welcome new parts being made for our cars but found the aluminum expansion tank to be unnecessary, especially after seeing people have issues with them. No need to fix what isn't broken in the first place.

 

Makes sense. And I have enough bits I actually need – or at least should – replace that I don't need to add ones that are just for looks. Yet.
