Hi, I'm looking for a used VW T25 JX TD coolant reservoir, part no. 025121407. Any ideas where I might pick one up? Thanks, John D.

Hi Tim, thanks for the link. I have tried a couple of the new tanks and they don't seem to handle the pressure. One of them actually ballooned. The original seems to have metal supports. I'm hoping to find someone who has spares and are willing to sell one on. Thanks, John D.

I would have thought that the pressure relief cap on the bottle should prevent ballooning of the bottle. Are you sure that the system is entirely free of air.
