BMW Coolant Expansion Tanks

Replace the flimsy plastic bleeder screw used in the coolant expansion tank or in one of the cooling system hoses with this high quality, durable, aluminum bleeder screw. The stock plastic screw can deform over time due to heat or even regular use. We have even seen the head of the screw snap off, leaving the threaded body stuck in the expansion tank. This aluminum screw will help to prevent sudden failure of the bleeder screw, which can result in immediate overheating of the car.

We have found that the expansion tanks should be replaced based on age as well as condition. Expansion tanks seem to have a lifespan of less than six years before they show signs of fatigue and wear. Pre-emptively replacing the expansion tank as part of an overall maintenance plan can prevent you from getting stranded from a sudden failure later on.

Other items to consider replacing at the same time are the radiator cap, coolant level sensor, lower radiator hose, coolant temp sensor, and the hose clamps. If your car has an automatic transmission you should also replace the oil cooler thermostat in the radiator frame, which is a common source for leaks.

Charge Air Cooler Expansion Tank - Rein | BMW F22/23, F3X B48/B46 B58 is an essential component that ensures proper coolant circulation in the charge air cooling system. Acting as a reservoir, this expansion tank allows coolant to expand and contract with temperature fluctuations, preventing excessive pressure buildup. Over time, plastic tanks can become brittle due to constant exposure to heat cycles, leading to cracks and leaks. A failing tank can cause coolant loss, reducing the efficiency of the charge air cooler and leading to increased intake temperatures, which negatively impact horsepower and engine performance. Rein offers a high-quality direct replacement designed for durability and a perfect fit on BMW F22, F23, and F3X models with B48, B46, and B58 engines.

• Maintains proper coolant circulation within the charge air cooling system
