Title: Name that hole
Post by: StreetPizza on February 29, 2004, 05:18:35 PM
No, not a \'guess the porn star\' competition, but a rather stupid question, I\'m afraid. On the picture below, if I\'ve read correctly elsewhere, 1. is the overflow tank for the coolant system, 2. is the filler cap. I think. Assuming that\'s correct, what\'s 3? It has something written on it, but I don\'t read japanese... which also makes the owners handbook somewhat useless. :)

Cheers, and sorry for yet another stupid question on my behalf :D

3  = Air Separation Tank or AST.

Pah - I thought this was going to be an interesting thread with that title :bandit

Yeah 3 is the AST, and whilst it says dont remove it lies.  It can be good to take the top off to top up the system.

check the seams as often as oil change..
these have a tendency to crack and fail..
