The coolant tank reservoir is a very time-consuming piece to install. If you buy one that is inferior and you have to redo the work or pay someone to redo the work with a Porsche part, you will have lost all of your savings and then some by buying this cheaper part.

It's a gamble.

Bad Coolant Reservoir Tanks S V B Imports

One more name to add to the "avoid" List S.V.B.Imports of Montrose Ca. They sell as "Arbosha" on Fleabay.Owners name is SHANT.
I shan't be doing business with him again !
Multiple fitting problems .
Drain nipple is blanked off by bad molding. Result is that when 'burping' the system, it overflows into the trunk !
After trying two tanks I gave up. Total waste of time & money.The 1 year warranty offered was 100% bogus. EBay of little help. Pelican is the best alternative. The 997 tanks look sturdier? Can they be modified to work in 986 ??
