Header tank
« on: 24 July 2010, 00:52:44 »
Hi, im thinking of replacing my header tank as mine has gone a horrible browny beige colour, id like a nice original clear/whitish plastic one to make the engine bay look like new agen.

Are they very expensive new?

Buy new from dealer, esp if yours has the coolant level sensor.

Most 2nd hand ones will have gone brown, and many have tired sensors. Additionally, there are different types, depending on engine
