Got a new expansion tank installed. Old one gave up two weeks ago at the Porsche Club Finland race. This coming weekend I'll try the new expansion tank at the next race :dance:

I went camping and drove my car around. It was a bit cold for my blood though. Shoulda gone camping last month.

It took about 2 hours.
I had a luxury to take my car a day before to friends car shop to cool down and I did the work there on following day with proper tools and a profesional lift.
Also, to take out the factory installed hose connectors from the engine side, I had a friends pair of hands to use the hose connector removal tool to get those compressed hose clips out (very difficult location).
Not a nice job to do without a proper workshop lift and tools...
