YEHERIT Engine Coolant Expansion Tank with Cap — Direct-Fit Replacement 1K0121407A for Audi A3/Q3/TT & VW Golf/Jetta

YEHERIT 603-253 is a direct-fit pressurized engine coolant expansion tank with cap, designed to replace failed reservoirs on many Audi and Volkswagen models without modifications.

This replacement coolant reservoir is molded from heat-resistant polypropylene and includes the matching pressure cap so you can restore proper coolant overflow containment and level visibility quickly. It’s engineered to match the original mounting points and fluid connections of the factory 1K0121407A/F-style tanks, making it a simple swap for a wide list of Audi A3, Q3, TT and many Volkswagen vehicles such as Beetle, Jetta, Passat, Golf, Tiguan and Eos. The translucent body lets you monitor antifreeze level at a glance while the durable plastic reduces risk of cracks and coolant loss caused by age or high engine temperatures.
