Golf mk7 / Re: Coolant silicon bag
« Last post by MEZZA on 28 November 2025, 22:20 »Just looking at other forums about this issue and came across a silicate cartridge you can get instead of a bag - looks like a small white cylindrical plastic object that goes inside the expansion tank and you can get them for about. £20.00 - supposed to be stronger than a bag but still need changing every few years - unclear as to if you just place it inside the tank or maybe there is specific tank for them - as been mentioned, VW put the bags in to help prolong coolant anti corrosion properties and unless you change to G12 Evo keeping to G13 without the bag could compromise this? Google VW silicate cartridge and you will see them - anybody have more info on this ?

« Last post by Norwichdaz on 28 November 2025, 18:29 »Earlier also I have Engine light on, good old Google said its possible after the 3 new things I've had yesterday aslong as goes away after a couple of days?
Like I say it drives fine (not that I've booted it) and also to be cautious with the light on now.
Coolant seems ok atm .
Is it possible to replace the actuator/wastegate if its/thats this rattle and the sound on that clip?
Or is it fully enclosed and you cant open the turbo up to change that part anyways?
Im in Norwich fella

I went for PS5’s in the end. Happy with all, so far. Although haven’t done many miles since.
BlackCircle were also giving 15% discount, which was a bonus.
Top choice sir! You won't regret it.

Car always feels better with new tyres - interestingly all four were made in Italy in week 40/25 - in all of the times I've bought Michelins I've never had ones made in Italy.
