Coolant expansion tank question
Hi again. Does the new coolant expansion tank include the bulkhead at firewall? I cant see it in the pic. I've rebuilt the bleeder valve already and replace the cap. Never leaks when I'm carefully monitoring it. Then about once a week; i get low coolant and a wet trunk. Where can I get a hose attachment for pressure testing?
Thanks |

If you go with a Uview vacuum filling unit (same one as the OEM Porsche unit), you can test the system by how well it holds vacuum before filling it; one tool doing two jobs........
Tanks should look like this: [IMG]http://www.*************.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/986COOLANTJUG.jpg[/IMG]

If you are getting coolant leaking onto the trunk floor then you need a new coolant tank. Its cracked on the bottom. Pull your carpet and foam padding out, get a mirror and a flashlight and look underneath the coolant tank near the sensor. You will see that it is cracked.
