  1. Looking at replacing the expansion tank

    Is it best to go genuine Renault or are the ones from ECP good quality ?

    Thanks

    iirc the engine mount needs to come off to get it out
     
  5. Ouch
     
  6. Is this a case of support the engine / remove bolts / remove mount ?

    Any idea what the torque settings are for the bolts ?

    Wonder if the ktec engine mount fitted means there is more space to get the bottle out without removing the mount ?
     
  7. Might be more room as the top of the Ktec mount is smaller than a stock one so maybe.
    If not yes it’s just a case of getting a jack under the engine to support it then remove the mount.

    62nm for the mount to body
    105nm for the mount to the bracket
     
  9. Many thanks
