Where to buy
Enter your VIN or make, model and year: the AI consultant will check compatibility and suggest a replacement if it does not fit.
What this part is
PATRON p100074 is a coolant expansion tank made of polymer material. The part is supplied without a cap and without a sensor, so when replacing it you should separately check the condition of the original cap and sensor. The tank is designed to compensate for the volume of coolant as it heats up and cools down.
The tank is used on OPEL ASTRA J GTC vehicles with 1.4 and 1.4 Turbo petrol engines, as well as on CHEVROLET CRUZE (J300) with 1.4 and 1.6 engines. When selecting, it is important to cross-check the p100074 number against the data for the specific vehicle, and also to take the configuration into account: this version has no cap and no sensor. In total, the catalog lists fitment for 98 positions, so compatibility should be checked by VIN or by the exact modification.
