GT3 coolant expansion tank?

[JarmoL]

Just received a new coolant reservoir for my 996 GT3. By the sound of it there's something loose inside. Is there somekind of valve built in there which has some loose parts or what? I can hear that "rolling" sound when I turn the tank upside down in my hands. Or is it defective already?

Two 996 GT3's blew their coolant tanks here last summer. Thought I should change mine befor it goes as well..

Hi Mike

Thanks Mike for your reply. I sort of figured it out when I had a closer look of it in the bright daylight. The magnet can be seen moving when tilting the tank. Glad I don't have to send it back!

I bought mine from Rosepassion: http://www.rosepassion.com/en/sel
My car is MY2001 and the coolant tank was 106€. For MY2000 cars it seems to be 220€?? I would have thought they have identical coolant tanks..
