Collant expansion tank on 4s Triptronic

[mc4one]

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to change myself the expansion tank but... After looking a lot of video it's impossible to get out...

I managed to remove it completely from its housing and gained a little space by removing the nut from I think the injection in front.

Any tips ?

it's as if the engine doesn't go down a few centimeters enough...

The engine will need to be lowered a bit to get the old one out and the new one in.

Hi,

 

I lowered it until the end of the screw.

 

Very hard job 😕

I could not agree more.

They redesigned the coolant tank to make it more resilient and in doing so they made it larger.

It's done 🙂

Finally it's easy but we need to ;

Unplug the most of the cable as possible, coolant, fuel and push to the right.
Unscrew the fuel folden cap in the front.
Low the engine to the maximum.
After that you can push the tank to the right and push it to the bottom.

You have access to the black support on the top. Unsrcew it and keep it away.

Now the tank come easily.

Put the new one.
On right to bottom.
Put back the black support.
etc...

Thank for your help guys 🙂
