Did you ever get around to fit that VW expansion tank? My new LR one, which is less than 18 months old, has micro cracks around its neck. That's the 4th one I've fitted since I bought the car in 2014 : (. I'd be very interested to fit a VW one. Any photos of it in situ?Dimensionally pretty close, but not sure if I get the cigar or not yet, as the VW part is about 10% taller and thus may foul the bonnet close...
It'll need a bracket making and an extension or two of pipe work, but nothing too drastic IMO. View attachment 113170View attachment 113171
Slightly embarrisingly I have squirrelled that tank somewhere so safe, I can't find it now - so no...Did you ever get around to fit that VW expansion tank?

They do have value Nodge - remember that the 1.8 K-series was also fitted to Lotus Elise and Caterham 7 - and these can be de-VVC'd to give a basis on which to build a VHPD (if that is something you'd want to do) - and of course, these heads will fit on any 1.8 litre block...
If you can post a picture or two, I'll probably be able to have an idea as to whether they've gone soft...
PerfectThanks Rod.
I'll take some pictures over the weekend, and PM to you.
