Product Description

This Moca Expansion Tank is designed as a crucial component of your vehicle's cooling system, serving as a reservoir for engine coolant. Its translucent plastic body allows for easy monitoring of coolant levels, with clear MAX and MIN markings to help maintain correct fluid volume. The tank features three hose connections to ensure proper integration with your vehicle's cooling circuit, helping to manage excess pressure and expansion of coolant during engine operation.

This specific expansion tank is compatible with the Renault Clio I 1.8 (1991-1998) and Renault 9 1.4 Turbo (1986-1989). As fitment details may vary, always confirm your vehicle's model, year, engine size, and engine code before ordering to ensure compatibility.

Common symptoms of a failing expansion tank include visible coolant leaks, frequent low coolant warnings, overheating, cracks or discolouration on the tank, and fluctuating coolant levels. You might also notice steam or a sweet smell from the engine bay, or pressure loss in the cooling system.

If you observe any of these symptoms, it is recommended to replace the expansion tank promptly to avoid engine overheating and potential damage. Always check the condition of the tank and associated hoses during routine maintenance, especially if your vehicle is within the specified model years.

Order your expansion tank from MiMi Auto Parts for reliable service and nationwide delivery across South Africa. Our team is ready to assist you in finding the right part for your Renault, ensuring your cooling system remains in top condition.
