Hey mate, the thing that's inside of it is silica, it's so your g13 coolant gets its silica levels replenished, also I wanted to ask if you had any problems with this coolant tank, asking because I'm looking to buy the exact the same one.
The Genuine OEM ones actually aren’t super expensive. VW and Audi get a bad rap from normies about parts prices but they’re nothing like Mercedes, Range Rover or any of those other expensive cars. I love VW and Audi, and if you buy the right car, they’re really reliable. I mean obviously there’s a few engines/cars that had some problems (like most brands) but for the most part they aren’t bad.
Also… when you say “A tool”, as an American I can only hear it as coming from a British roadman 😂 Edit: As a mechanic I recommend replacing any spring clips you remove with a better hose clamp of your choice to avoid any b.s. in the future 🫡

I no longer own the car. To be quite honest a brand new one from VW even including a cap is only £50 so it may even be worth buying a genuine one
Did you take the silica out when replacing, am reading that these cause heater Matrix to clog after a while, heating doesn’t work etc
What code was popping up?

I always thought the spring clamps were better than any hose clamp because they apply constant pressure regardless of temperature, expansion, etc.
