its called the expansion tank - you will need to dilute the G12 slightly - ratio's are on the back of the bottle

well it does regulate the coolant around the system so i guess technically you are correct

i'd suggest buying a Haynes manual - not great but will give you a better idea of what things are and where they are  :smiley:

Weren't on the back of bottle. If your changing the temp sender you'll only lose about 100ml if that. Really easy t do.
