expansion tank help

[Rajk]

In these times of tightness, does anyone have the OE price for the above from Renault? with the cap. Some bloke on eBay is selling it for £30 all in, but sometimes you don't always get a good deal on eBay, sometimes its better to get these from Renault. There is another guy in Poland selling them for a £10 without the cap. Any help is appreciated.

There is some on eBay doing them for under £5 delivered from Germany with no cap even with a copy one what can go wrong if it fits right

I Bought one from Renault for £37 recently, don't think it came with a cap but didn't open it to check.

I'd say avoid the cheap tanks. I bought an aftermarket Birth expansion tank last year, that was so bad (leaked at the thread + there were very-very small lips on the two bottom pipe connections), that I had to put back the original, dirty tank after 200 km. A new one from Renault is approx £38-40 without cap

The guy selling them for £30 on ebay is schakal http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280821376948

[andreas395]

Yes but if you go direct he usually does it cheaper then ebay as he does not pay selling fees

Thanks guys I have PM'd him, which is the best coolant to use? I have only used the Renault one in the past, I had some mates that worked at GSF, sadly no more!!

Stick with the Renault stuff then, it's not expensive anyway
