Let's face it: using a plastic coolant reservoir with the plastic threaded level sensor and cap was not one of VW's greatest ideas. None of the aftermarket tanks are high quality but if you do choose this plastic replacement tank, please be aware of the risk of being stranded on the side of the road.
NOTE: There are no warranties or returns on this plastic tank.
This reservoir also fits all diesel models from 01/85 from Vin number F060001 on. It is possible to use this reservoir for diesel models 1980 thru 12/84. The easiest way to determine which reservoir you have is to look at the hoses flanges. If the flanges are the same size then you have the early tank. If the upper flange is larger than the bottom, then you have a later tank. To use this tank on the earlier diesel, you will need the following parts:
This is the later version of the diesel 4-way hose and will match the upper flange on this tank.
This is the reverse coolant bottle bracket. The early reservoir mounts differently than the late and you will need this bracket to install it.
If you wish to purchase use our aluminum expansion tank for you diesel please order the 1.9ltr version and please order the bracket in the drop-down menu as well and you will still need to order the hose above.
