Coolant overflow tanks

There has been a lot of discussion on these coolant overflow tanks.  I have
after-market knock-offs in both of my Audi's, and I only paid $14 a piece
for them.  They appear to be as good of quality as the original, I've been
using one for 2 years with no problems.  I got them from Northside
(Imports?) in Chicago.  EuroSelect also has them for a similar price.  A
complete hose kit and one of these only runs like $80 or so.  That's a full
replacement of everything in the cooling system (except for the pump, which
was replaced last night you replaced the timing belt, right?, and the heater
core) for under $100.  No reason not to do this if your cooling stuff is > 8
years or so.

Hope that helps some people.
