Re: 4ksq Coolant Overflow Resevoir fixes?

Jb weld will probably last as temporary... it has on one of mine...
I only used it for a day and then found a good one out of a 5k at the
wrecking yard... paid $20 for it.. It still had the Audi tag for part #
on it! looked brand new... Well.. maybe you can at least find a good used
one for $15....
Or just order one from Blau... $46 i think..
well sorry for the ramble but the JB weld has worked for me in the past...
on my 5k radiator (pin sized hole... wire brushed the area drained coolant..
heated it up with a torch (remove any wetness) and applied JB liberally...

Still holding 3+ years later...

HTH!
