coolant overflow res.

[vwrocco87@hotmail.com (Brad Sayer)]

I will definatley look into the dealership today.  Just can't imagine its 
only $15 as things like dash bulbs are $1 each adn lug bolts are $4 each.  
Seems like it would be a $50 item.  That I thought I saw a Rocky Mountain 
catalog once where it cost a fortune. (I now they are expensive, but I 
didn't think it would be more than a dealer)

Thanks for the heads up...

Brad
