RMW "Tank" Installed!

There is so much that can go wrong with the plastic coolant bottles.  For instance, my original VW coolant bottle had a crack in it, caps don't seal or maintain pressure, and the seams often split as well.  After my Subaru conversion in which I bought a brand new bottle and cap, the cap leaked several times. So, about the 4th time, I tightened it real good, which stripped the cheesy plastic threads and then NO cap would hold!   To add insult to injury, I also had a brand new sensor installed, which leaked as well.  Again, probably a stripped threads issue.  Before my important Fourth of July camping trip, I decided to call RMW and upgrade to "the Tank".  It arrived in 2 days and installed in 2 hours.  OMG am I glad I did it.  The Tank is da BOMB!!!!

This product is solid A+ construction as expected from RMW.  There is no way it is leaking - end of story!

1. The package includes instructions, wiring connectors for sensor, bracket, tank, cap, and all the bolts necessary to install bracket to the van and the bottle to the bracket
2. RMW changed their sensor and the new sensor is super easy to wire-up
3. The bracket is solid and the holes match perfectly with the RMW bracket for the regular VW coolant bottle, so no re-drilling is required when you upgrade.  Well, to be honest, I had to open up the the holes in the engine bay a weeee bit for the Tank's bracket bolts to fit.  But, I didn't have to re-measure and completely re-drill new holes.
4. The bottom nipple is a standard size, so no weird reducing heater hose or adapter is needed.  Awesome!
5. The Tank is narrower than the VW coolant bottle, so fits easier in the engine bay and looks fantastic.

Total install time (removing old & adding the Tank): 2 hrs for a beginner mechanic on a mission, less time I'm sure, for a pro.
