"[QUOTE=URO Support;19549281]Hi guys, our product development team has been watching this thread, but unfortunately there aren't enough 928's for expansion tank 928 106 256 03 to pencil out. We definitely appreciate hearing everyone's thoughts though; we'll update you if anything changes."
That is what I was told when I tried to talk you guys into making the S3 intake tubes.
Who ever does your calculations on sales potential has there math screwed up.
How can you make parts for the 87 to 91 cars that we sell very little of then say you can't make an expansion tank that fits all 928's from 78 to 95.
There are 40,000 plus 928's out there and parts are coming to the end of there life rapidly. You should reconsider.

928 Owners are ".....a secret sect of quietly assured Porsche pragmatists who in near anonymity appreciate the prodigious, easy going prowess of the 928."
I wouldn't have an issue paying $500 for the correct part if it was the same quality as the original. Sadly the new Porsche units don't seem to be all that great either.
That’s exactly why I can’t stomach paying $500 for it, from what I’ve read the metal sleeves fail and they seep.
Did the centre post thing split due to pressure or was it like that from day 1?
The darker ring in the middle is a raised section. I imagine it was supposed to be (ultrasonically?) melted to join the two columns and wasn't? I recall noticing a couple of months ago the cap looked like it was off at an angle, but I convinced myself I was seeing things.

I am assuming the gap is the effect of the tank "ballooning" as it were.
Presumably the tank is blown in two halves and then fused together.
This seems to have been the original problem. The central column separated so the tank was able to expand too much.
Check your tanks! There should be no gap between the center cone things. If there is the tank will bulge and fail.
(Mine has about a 1" gap! BTW, my temp repair failed after a few heat cycles, but it got me home. )
If the center posts are actually welded on a new tank, is it open in the center to where a bolt or threaded rod with nuts and washer could be installed to relieve pressure from the weld?
