Hello,

My radiator burst due to an overheat so I'm going to renew most of the cooling system of my 318ti (for peace of mind).

Does anyone know if the expansion tank and seals etc. come with the radiator (see below), or do I need to order these seperately?

Thanks

Thanks for the lightning fast reply! That's a great price too, but I'm based in the UK so probably best to get one here.

I'll check with the supplier on Monday, just trying to get an idea of costs...

Thanks again!

I've never seen one that didn't come with one... I just got one made by Mehle I think and it came with one.

Thanks. I guess the expansion tank is available seperately, but a new radiator comes with one. The diagram had me worrying I needed to buy everything seperately.
