Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I would not replace with a used. These tanks degrade due to engine heat. They all fail eventually. It's a matter of when. I just replaced mine at 79k. Many don't last that long.

Thanks! I see I have a steeper learning curve on the water cooled cars than I thought. Thanks for the advice.

dennish or anyone else, is the replacement of the coolant tank in 996 a straight forward diy job?

Time consuming, but yes, it is a DIY project.

model year 99 is easier than my model year 03. 99 has smaller tank and goes in without lowering the engine and less hassle . I think there's a You tube video and write ups on Rennlist.org or else where. Maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in. I would say it's a DYI. with moderate skills.
