Engine cooling (V6)Removal/refitting
The expansion tank supplies the circuit and absorbs the variations in coolant volume due to the changes in engine temperature.
The tank also allows air, collected through the pipe coming from the throttle body, to bleed from the system by way of a calibrated valve in the pressurized cap. This valve also acts as a washing function enabling outside air to enter the system to compensate for the vacuum created as the system cools.
