Wondering if anyone can tell me the difference between the pre 2001 3.4 expansion tank and the post 2001 3.6 expansion tank (apart from the massive price difference)?
Searching here I read that a few people with 2001 3.4s seem to have the later tank (they also noted the electric frunk/boot release which my car has). My car is registered as a 2001 but I believe it was built December 2000 so I guess this could go either way for me.
Searching for visual clues in determining which tank I have it looks like the early ones are shorter with a square back and the later ones have a long triangular back. Are there any other differences? I read a comment about pipe fittings being different but can't find details on this or see a difference in images.
Part numbers I'm looking at are:
996 106 14756 early tank
996 106 15704 later tank
