I was looking at how I was going to fit my i/c in this afternoon and I barely touched one of the coolant lines going into the coolant tank and it broke off! I'm screwed! Hopefully I can find one around here. Until then my car is down and out.

NOOOOOoooooooooo!

You could try what one of my car's previous owners did -- clean away the broken pieces of the nipple, run a tap through it, and thread in a fitting from the hardware store. I think he sealed it with some kind of caulk. He may not actually have tapped the hole; the threads on the fitting may have been enough. I had the car for about 10,000 miles before it started leaking; I have no idea how long before I got the car the "repair" was done.

So I can't recommend it as a permanent solution, but it could be a temporary fix.

sucks to be you.

I bet there's a way to make an aftermarket expansion tank work. Take a look at the moroso one at jegs.com, part no. 710-63650.


It only has two bungs, but I wonder if a splitter would do the trick.

Hmm, well, the stock tank has four nipples on it... Splitters may kind of work but you might not get flow in the correct directions. You could probably weld on two more fittings, but the stock tank also has some kinds of internal baffling and stuff which this wouldn't have. It may not be worth it since it doesn't cost too much less than the stock tank (part number 21132AA075 in case you want to try ordering it, Matt).

legacy92ej22t dont worry my street beast is down and out. Piston one threw 4 is blown clouds of blue black white smoke. I cant wiat for those pistons. At least it will last another 400thousand ks agian wow 800thousand k on that car with 18psi and 10trannys dame subarus are good cars.

good luck

Thanks guys. I may have to end up ordering one if I can't find a wrecked one.

I'm back on the road! A friend helped me fix it this weekend. I'll probably end up putting in a WRX one sometime down the road.
