Default coolant tank

My coolant tank has a **** load of spider cracks in it causing it to leak a bit, Where do you guys get the white ones, all i am finding are the yellow urine coloured tanks.
thank you

You can get a B6 coolant tank but make sure the sensor plug on the bottom fits. It should since you have a 2000, but I know for a fact that the 96-99 plug would not.

i think i got mine from ECStuning.com . I had the very same problem. I am replying just to suggest getting the coolant expansion tank cap from ECS for like $5 bucks, i read that its oober common for the black vent valve thing in the middle of it to break off the cap- happened to me.. every time i took the cap off it would leave that thing lodged in the tank and i would have to pry it out with a screwdriver. $0.02

Do you know if the B6 plug can be used in the 96-99? Even if the connector has to be re-pinned to make it work? I'd love to get the white tank in my pre-facelift 99 if at all possible.

The white one is the updated tank. If you get one over the counter from an Audi dealer, it should be the white one.
