Replacing my cracked expansion tank on my 04, looks like a pretty straight forward swap, just wanted to know if there are any "tricks" or "snags" I might run into?

 

how sure are you that it is cracked? i thought my 03 was but it turned out to be the hose that attached to the rear weren't tight enough and fluid was flowing onto the "seam" of the tank and it looked cracked. I replaced the clamps and no more leak. BUT that was AFTER i purchased a new tank from AB.... I decided to keep it though for when I ACTUALLY cracks.

 

straight forward replacement, just be sure to bleed the system afterwards.

 

Oh it's cracked..lol....I saw a little leak on the inside of passenger side tire and traced it to the tank bottom nipple (yes i said nipple). I thought it was the clamp but when I popped off the clamp and pulled down on the hose it pulled a good chunk of the tank with the hose, so it's cracked lol...

 

you said bottom too......

 

Oh actually cracked?? Well its easy. Just make sure you bleed the air out.

 

Thats what I thought, well hopefully new/used tank will be here tomorrow and I will sawp it tomorrow night,

thanks

 

Ok so replaced expansion tank and filled with Dexcool and filled until coming out of bleeder screw but still has the waterfall sound on passenger side dash? I filled it ran it till temp was up and heater was good let cool and did it again, but still has the waterfall sound? Any suggestions? Or just keep bleeding until no more waterfall sound?
