Reply to "Overflow Tank Missing"

Maybe not. First, US-made caps sometimes have extreme problems sealing to the expansion tank neck, possibly because Euro thermostats are slightly longer. Second, the base of the tank neck is usually horribly rough so it usually seals water but not the vacuum produced by engine cool-down.The 'normal' fix for both is to take the tank down to a radiator shop and have them desolder the stock tank-neck and attach a US-made substitute. This costs maybe $15. It's is important, since cap leaks not only can cause overheating, but the leaking water runs down the tank, down the inner fender panel and directly into a frame vent hole. There are no lower drains in the frame as-stock, so the water sits down there, rusting your chassis. Second chore: drill the recommended frame vent holes (rainwater also gets into those frame holes). Finally, the hose connection between tanks uses a 5/8" connection on one end and a 1/4" connection onthe other. Unless you have a custom made adapter, whatever kluge ("Kluge"- poorly thought out, makeshift device) was included to join the hose to the tanks is probably leaking under vacuum. On my car, the hose itself had split at the bottom, probably from header heat.
