Function and role in the cooling system

• stable pressure in the cooling system,
• an appropriate reserve of coolant,
• safe discharge of excess fluid and steam,
• easy monitoring of the coolant level.

Thanks to its proper design, the original tank works with factory hoses, connectors, and sensors, which reduces the risk of leaks and overheating issues of the power unit.

Compatibility within the Volkswagen Group

The presented tank has been designed for platforms used in Audi, Volkswagen, Seat, and Skoda cars, which facilitates part selection within the concern. The appropriate geometry of the mounts, the placement of the connectors, and the capacity specified by the manufacturer allow for direct installation in dedicated models without the need for modifications.

The element has an assigned OEM part number and a set of interchangeable numbers, which allows for precise verification of compatibility with a specific engine version and vehicle model year. In case of doubt, it is worth comparing the markings with the service documentation or the existing component.
