Im planning on having my buddy fab up both tanks for me in aluminum.
Probbably both for under $200!! And on the flushing probably find the
intake hose/line to the water pump infeed and feed it while running till
water  comes clean then drain and add coolant mix to desired level and
glycol level cant remember if its polypropylene glycol or polyethylene
glycol?

Hi

Thanks all for input.
I found a suitable tank   http://www.evwparts.com/vwparts/025121403A.html

Not OEM or aluminum.   But goes in and works the same.

I am draining oil and carefully  inspect the air filter.

Question -- Is it smart to flush the coolant system before adding new
antifreeze mix?
Flush with fresh? Motor Running?
