Expansion Bottle Leaking

[gruffalo]

How are you supposed to get to the bottom of the expansion bottle with out dismanttling the near side induction system, or do you dismanttle the near side induction system, even then I can not see how to get to the jubilee clips for all the pipes?

Does any one know what the expansion bottle is off, mine seems to be leaking?

Any pointers very welcome.

As far as I can remember it is an awkward job but i think you only have take off air intake

Hello,

From the alternate parts topic: euro carparts 205440130

Is it definitely at fault or could it be the cap?

Regards

It's fiddly but I manage to take the one off mine without removing many bits.

Yes I did mine last year, a bit fiddly but not need to take the air boxes off.. You will need to file off a corner of the tank to make the same as the tvr one.

I have to take the airboxes off to change the CD on mine !!

OT - I think it's off a Volkswagen.

Thanks for all the feed back, turns out the tank was OK it was the top hose had a small split in it right up by the jubilee clip, all OK now I think/hope I brought her int work today so will check coolant levels when she has cooled down a bit.

A big thanks to one of the lads over on www.octane.ie who managed to work this one out for us.
