    Is anyone selling new coolant tanks with the cap? Mine has decided to go all orange and get leaky on me.

    They are like $20. $70 or less for OEM. Buy a new one

    A little FYI----DON'T go after the DORMAN garbage offered at RockAuto----Yes they're cheap at $24 but after I went thru 3 of the damn things (all replaced by Dorman) I purchased an OE item....ALL three leaked after only several months of use! The funny thing is that I changed the damn thing, originally, due to the discoloration....It was leak tight after some 14 years of use! The old adage holds true-YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!

    I member on here mentioned an a4 tank will work and that the only difference is the drain doesn't have a 90 on it or something to that effect. Price difference was significantly cheaper for OeM

    yup just get an a4 tank and take the 90 degree elbow off the bottom and push it into your new tank, I bought a brand new Febi for an a4 for mine and did that.
