Hey all, I'm on a mission to clean up my engine compartement.  I was
thinking of all the different places I could move the expansion tank, but
now I'm thinking of maybe just getting an early Jetta type radiator(with the
cap on the radiator) and eliminating the expansion tank altogether.  What
would the disadvantages of this be?  Would it work to just pop in the jetta
rad, and block off the big lower expansion tank hose?  Thanks-

Rob
