• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Coolant Reservoir

Not sure but there are no old tanks being shipped since early 2012.
Bought a replacement bottle last year and this week it just cracked (vertical cracks on the centerline, on the area where the internal baffle / reinforcement is glued / "welded" to the bottle).
So much for improvement... :yikes:
 
A year went by...

Another replacement bottle cracked..., lasted just one year... :banghead:

Thinking of making an aluminum or stainless-steel tank... :gaah:

Did you install a new radiator cap when you replace the bottle???

Maybe the cap opening pressure is bad??? (just a suggestion)

Mine just blew

Question - when I replace the coolant tank, is it a good idea to replace hoses as well as clamps? How about the cap? Thanks!

Plan on the cap too.

There was a post here that a bad cap contributed to the problem for at least one owner. My tank on my 08 is still kicking... but due to that I carry a spare tank and cap... and the rub there is the tank is the old design before they updated it.
