Glad I decided to remove the coolant tank. Bag was a b****r to get out. :sick: Surprised how strong it was. Think that those that burst must have been faulty or damaged. Just need to keep the coolant protection strength in spec now.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.

Took mine out today. Easy job to do. Topped up with distilled water, and no fears now.
