    rs2 coolant expansion tank

    Any recommendations on what brand/where to buy an expansion tank and power steering reservoir for an rs2?
    It appears my expansion tank is leaking from the coolant level sensor and the power steering reservoir from a small crack underneath as all hose joins seem to be free of leaks and there is no residue down the side of either one or leakage from caps only fluid underneath.
    Both appear original so it's probably about time anyway.

    Dealer for the Coolant tank, cheaper in the long run. Not hugely expensive.

    Not sure how much a power steering reservoir is. Google the oem part number and see what comes up. Maybe Febi or someone make a decent one ?

      David is correct. The aftermarket ones are not great quality and fail prematurely. Original Audi part is the only way to go here.

      I bought one a few years ago now for my RS2....still hasn't seen coolant yet.
