 |

Does anyone have a Canadian location where I can get a coolant overflow reservoir for my 1983 vanagon?
cip1 and Johns are currently out.
Thanks in advance. |

Try FankCondelli (Ont) or Ben's place (Qué)
Give a call to your local VW dealer, I've had a couple of good surprises there.

Try VM Autohaus in Burnaby BC if no local suppliers can help you:
https://www.vmautohaus.com/
Kris Manusha can find anything for a VW or Audi.

It looks like VAG uses the same system in newer cars…pressure tank w pressure cap to overflow tank. How hard is it to use them in place of NLA stuff?
