The expansion tank is 17 11 1 707 540 - cant find a price, so it might not available anymore.

Assuming the washer bottle is the same as the later E30 its 61 66 1 370 788 - about £25-£30 I think.

I've got a sugested price of 24.70 plus vat for the tank from my ETK.

I've got a brand new face lift expansion tank from BMW but i'm not sure on the availability of the early tank ?

I've got the same part number as James for the pre-face lift wash tank, it has a sugested price of 16.80 plus vat.

Get the prices checked at the dealers though as they are not 100% accurate.

cheers lads

i just cant decide whether to clean mine up then spray them black to match body
or get brand new and have that minty clean look

[Andy335Touring]

Bleach is supposed to work quite well at cleaning them up ?

[dazleeds]

can ya ever get the expansion bottles clean??

mines a yukky light brown inside
obviously from some previous overheating etc
has stained the inside

will have a go at the washer bottle with some bleach then decide

see if i can get years of greasy mitt prints off

[Simon]

Just buy new! The intensive wash (twin bottle) bottle is £8 new, the large single one is £16. Coolant tank won't be much more. If the coolant bottle has gone brown, it won't get it's original white colour back, bleach will clean the washer bottles up, but won't get them looking mint.

Oh definetley, what made me decide was masons post with pics of his engine bay, the bottles are spankinly clean and makes one hell of a difference (the pics are in his car for sale thread) it's the only item in my engine bay thats not gleaming.

[Chris-W]

One thing that ften will get a 'spansion bottle clean(er) is alloy wheel cleaning fluid & a bottle brush.

Call BMW and you will find its more than £8

I got a winscreen bottle from ECP for not a lot was genuine as well, so they might worth a call as well

Sorry, I do apologise, it's £8.50 on my ETK, I paid a little less because I get a discount at my dealers!

The large single bottle is oddly twice the price.

[Demlotcrew]

Simon call BMW and give them the part number see how much it comes to.

Did you read my post? I bought one a few months back and paid a little less than £8!

[Demlotcrew]

not one of your posts says anything about you buying a bottle a few months ago.

But if you were to call up BMW today, you will find that infact the price of the bottles has gone up quite alot! But if you can still get them for £8.50 then please buy me two more!
