Coolant Overflow Tank

Country flag
Offline
This recovery tank has been on my BN6 longer than I can remember__hmm, that's not quite the descriptive statement that it once was...

As long as I keep an inch or so of coolant in it when it's cold, the radiator maintains its full to the brim status indefinitely. I like this a lot better than when I used to have to guess at how much air space to leave in the top tank, and it would spill over at the slightest miscalculation.

That reminds me, I need to polish it up again (I actually did the radiator yesterday, in anticipation of a local car show this Sunday).
