Coolant Silica Bag

[madstaff]

Ive looked into the expansion tank and cannot see the bag, yet I have Mit Silikat written on the bottle

Best way to see if you have one is to syphon the coolant out of the expansion tank like I explained earlier in the thread.

Yes I saw that, but it seems there is no space for a bag in there?

Where the 2 prongs for the level sensor end in the coolant you'll feel it there if its got one.

Best way is to syphon though, you'll see it then.

Cheers will check it out asap I think

My 2017 CS had one, so did my mates next door at work in his 2016 R.

Removed both of them, once I knew where it was it took about 2 mins to do the R.

Can you describe where in the tank it is please?

[madstaff]

Standing at the front of the car it's around the 2 o'clock position and toward the outside of the tank.

You'll do well to feel it unless you've got long fingers.

Thanks, how do you pull it out?

Just removed mine a couple of days ago. Dead easy, much easier than I was expecting. Long nose pliers and VERY gently wiggle it until you can get hold with fingers. The corners of the bag are quite stiff and take a little wiggling to get it out.

Thanks, going to try this in the morning
