The Opel Corsa Water Tank (commonly referred to as the coolant expansion tank) is a crucial component of the vehicle’s cooling system, designed to manage coolant expansion and maintain stable pressure during engine operation. Found in models like the Corsa C (2000–2006) and Corsa D (2006–2014) with 1.0L to 1.4L petrol or diesel engines, it stores excess coolant as the engine heats up, preventing overflow and pressure spikes. When temperatures drop, coolant is drawn back into the system, ensuring consistent fluid levels and minimizing air pockets that could disrupt cooling efficiency. Constructed from durable, heat-resistant plastic, the tank features a translucent body for easy visual monitoring of coolant levels and a pressure-rated cap (typically 1.0–1.4 bar) to maintain system integrity. With a capacity of approximately 1–1.5 liters, it integrates seamlessly into the engine bay via OEM-specific mounting brackets and hose connections. This tank reduces coolant evaporation, prevents overheating, and protects critical components like the radiator, water pump, and thermostat. Its corrosion-resistant design and secure fittings ensure longevity, making it essential for reliable cooling performance in urban driving and varying weather conditions. Note: Specific part numbers (e.g., 13181448) may vary by model year and engine type.
