Expansion tanks
« on: 05 August 2010, 13:46:01 »
I've just been told by the local dealer that Vauxhall no longer manufacture the expansion tank that I need to solve the coolant warning I have on my 2002 2.6V6, the only available source of supply being a pattern part manufacturer. Can it really be that Vauxhall no longer support spares for a 8 year old car and can anyone vouch for the quality of the alternative. Thanks in anticipation Keith.

They were a little cagey but said they had initially confused the request with the level sensor which was unavailable separately. They are sourcing the part through a third party but it is a genuine Vauxhall part from another Vauxhall dealer.

Is this the number for the one with the level sensor or without ?

The exact result I am sure we all expected.

Why Oh Why do dealers walk away from so many sales  :-/

And what would we do without Andy  :y
