Product Information

It may be necessary to add a hole in the top plate to match the original tank. There is a knock out that can be removed prior to installation.

Engine Coolant Reservoir

The engine coolant reservoir, also known as an ‘overflow bottle’ is a crucial component of modern vehicle cooling systems. Its job is to capture the increased volume of engine coolant that is created as the coolant is heated and expands. It needs someplace to go, so a coolant line that typically runs from the radiator outlet to the top of the engine coolant reservoir will feed the reservoir, while the reservoir feeds the engine as it needs more coolant to send through the engine and back through the radiator.

Engine coolant reservoirs are typically made of plastic and can be either clear or opaque. Some performance or aftermarket overflow bottles are made of aluminum or other more durable materials.

Engine Coolant Reservoir Failure Symptoms
  • Fogging: Over time, due to chemical exposure, age, and heat cycles, the clear plastic used in most engine coolant reservoirs can become foggy and opaque. This can make it difficult to read the coolant level accurately.
  • Leaks/ Cracking: The most common area for an engine coolant reservoir to leak is usually at a plastic seam or seal. As the bottle is run through thousands of heat cycles, from ambient temperatures below freezing to 200 degrees Fahrenheit plus, the weakest part of the reservoir, usually a seam or molded junction, can crack and fail.
  • Age: Over time, due to age and exposure, the plastic and materials will become brittle and prone to cracking and other age-related failures.
  • Coolant leaks: The most common failure of a bad engine coolant reservoir is a coolant leak. This can be slow or minimal, or it can be a total instant failure of the reservoir. If you notice a slow coolant leak and can diagnose it back to the overflow bottle, or coolant reservoir, it is recommended to replace it asap.
  • Overheating: A bad engine coolant reservoir can reduce engine cooling system pressure, reducing the effective boiling point of the engine coolant. Depending on temperatures and conditions, this can result in engine overheating.

Total Failure after 2yrs, 20k miles.
This install job totally sucks, at least I had the transmission out the first time. Unfortunately the tank spontaneously cracked in half and dumped all the coolant in the trunk. It split right dow the middle just aft of the levvel sensor port. (Get exta o-rings you'll need them). The OEM tanks are known to fail after 15years ... I expected more than 2 out of this one. Unfortunately there are no better alternatives out there and the Porsche Official ones are just as bad quality. Pray you find a NOS part. So I have to buy another one of these piles of plastic garbage and just hope it doesn't self destruct and leave me stranded somewhere. Budget for gallons of coolant to dump on the ground for good measure.

leaks brand new
coolant sensor fits so loose you might as well just hold the coolant in your hands. would be just as effective

Requires slight modification
I expected to have to drill out the hole for the dip stick. But the black plastic is too thick to cook date the oil fill gasket without some modification. Otherwise a great product.
