I changed the coolant tank on my 2000 S earlier this year. In addition I also changed the thermostat, belt, water pump and coolant. I decided to save some money and got an aftermarket tank, as all the other parts were oem. Six months down the line, no leaks or anything from the tank but I do get the low coolant light flashing, even though the level is right on the mark. It seems the float which measures the coolant level, does not always float properly and it kind of sticks. I can get it to work by reaching in with a long screw driver and jiggling it around a bit. This enables it to work without flashing for a bit but it always resorts back.
Only good thing is if it does ever fail completely sometime in the future, the job of replacing it again will be a lot easier second time around!
