    Coupe coolant header tank

    I want a new header tank, they're on back order from Audi and they're £50 Anybody have experience of any of these:-

    Topran
    Swag
    JP
    Febi
    Vaico

    I seem to remember Alex had a Febi one that swelled up like a baloon?

    I've never had good experiences with Topran....

    Yeah. I think it was Febi that gave up for Alex... the upshot was that the advice was to get only OEM... 50 quid is enough, but keeps the coolant in a much more expensive component...

            Just to update this, I went with the Febi in the end and it's been fine. I think the one Alex had must have been defective as the plastic on mine is really thick and it not going to swell under the 1.2bar the system operates at.
