Default need a new expansion tank

kind of expensive on paragon. comes to 145 canadian for me including shipping.

my expansion tank is leaking at the hose and I think it's because it's cracked or deformed because the hose is on tight.

also it's too yellowed out and I can't see the coolant level at all.

anywhere you can get an aftermarket tank or cheaper than paragon.

145 bucks is a lot for a plastic tank.

If you have a NA and not a turbo, I think the part # is different and they are cheaper:

You might want to buy a hose kit while you are in the process of changing all that stuff out - IMHO, it's worth it - and everytime I'm fixing stuff in my car I'm always swapping out old rubber when I get the chance.

If you're only concerned about the leak, try used. They certainly last a very, very long time.

try sunset porsche in oregon, weissach, and SCAN auto, locally.

I think I paid like $150 for my 968 tank just recently. Well worth it considering how nasty it used to be, now my brake fluid and coolant tank are both nice and clear!

Call up Travis at Rennbay. He may be able to cut you a deal.

I currently have a brand new one, but I was planning on installing it in my car. The one I have installed now is fine and doesn't leak, but it is a bit yellowed. You can still see the coolant and it isn't opaque brown but it isn't new and white. I will also clean it up well for you before I ship it. I just don't really know how to do a transaction into canada.
