Subject: [Syncro_T3_Australia] Replacing pressurised coolant reservoir
Hullo from the West
A leak in the reservoir at the pressure switch has returned after a repair with some sealant a couple of years ago. I think that a new tank, cap and pressure switch is probably the best permanent fix so I have been looking at the items offered by Van Café.
Has anyone had any experience on the quality of these items or know of other suppliers? Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Jon E
I’ve bought both the cap and bottle from Just Campers. The cap was faulty, resulting in a blown head gasket on a perfectly good engine. The bottle leaks where the switch screws in. My advice is spend a little more and get the genuine article… I bought a genuine cap from Mick Motors and sealed the bottle which now has a leak on one of the seams……All this was done in March this year.
Michael, Townsville.

Michael,
A member recently bought one from Volks Home, Thomastown , Victoria . This is run by John Goodison, who has been a VW man forever; he is also the Technical Officer for the VW Club of Victoria . John is well known for stocking only parts of acceptable quality; he simply won’t touch inferior stuff for the very reasons that you have experienced. If I am looking for an OEM part, John is always my first contact.
