Fits:
Porsche 9J1.1 Taycan 2020 - 2024
Diagram ref no 1
The coolant expansion/overflow reservoir for the Taycan’s coolant system. It collects and stores excess coolant from the closed-loop cooling circuit when temperature changes cause expansion. It also provides a visible coolant level reference and a refill point when topping-up is required.
This coolant tank:
• Accepts excess coolant as it expands under heat, preventing over-pressure in the cooling system.
• Allows coolant to return to the system when temperatures drop, helping maintain proper coolant volume and pressure.
• Provides a clean, secure housing that resists heat, pressure, and coolant chemistry - preventing leaks and degradation.
• Maintains correct coolant level and system integrity, vital for thermal management of batteries, motors, and inverter cooling.
When to replace. You should consider replacing the coolant expansion tank if:
• The original shows cracks, discoloration, deformation, or leaks.
• Coolant level drops unexpectedly without visible external leak - indicating internal crack or cap failure.
• The tank becomes brittle, warped, or chemically aged due to coolant exposure and heat cycles.
• You are restoring or servicing the cooling system, or performing maintenance/replacement of hoses, pumps or thermal components.

OE Match coolant expansion (overflow) tank that forms part of the Taycan’s closed cooling system. It serves as a buffer reservoir for coolant volume changes caused by temperature fluctuations in the system. It also provides a visible coolant level reference and a fill point for maintenance. As a direct-fit replacement, it integrates with the factory hoses, clamps, and sensors without modification.

The coolant expansion/overflow reservoir for the Taycan’s coolant system. It collects and stores excess coolant from the closed-loop cooling circuit when temperature changes cause expansion. It also provides a visible coolant level reference and a refill point when topping-up is required.
This coolant tank:
• Accepts expanding coolant when temperature rises, preventing over-pressure in the cooling circuit.
• Stores slightly extra coolant, which returns to the main system when temperatures drop - maintaining consistent coolant levels.
• Provides a safe, sealed reservoir that resists coolant chemistry, temperature, and vibration - preventing leaks or contamination.
• Offers a sight-glass or translucent body (or level markings), making coolant level checks simple and straightforward for maintenance.
Over time, coolant expansion tanks may develop cracks, stress fractures or leaks due to pressure cycling, temperature variation, or material fatigue - particularly in high-performance or electric cooling systems. If the expansion tank fails, you risk coolant leaks, pressure loss, overheating or inadequate coolant circulation.
An OE Match replacement restores proper system pressure management, coolant containment, and leak-free operation. It protects the drivetrain’s thermal management integrity, supports battery/motor cooling stability, and helps prevent costly damage or component failure.
When to Replace Consider replacing the expansion tank if:
• The original shows visible cracks, deformation, or plastic fatigue.
• There is coolant loss or leakage under the car or around the reservoir.
• The system shows erratic coolant-level changes or pressure anomalies.
• You are performing cooling-system maintenance, overhaul, or upgrades.
• You notice discoloration, brittleness, or internal contamination in the tank material.

Coolant Bottles / Expansion Tanks – Reliable Cooling Performance for Porsche Vehicles
Coolant bottles (also known as expansion tanks) are a vital part of your Porsche’s cooling system. They store excess coolant and manage pressure fluctuations as the engine heats up and cools down. By maintaining proper coolant levels and system pressure, they help prevent overheating, engine damage, and coolant loss - ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
At Design911, we offer a complete range of genuine and quality coolant bottles and expansion tanks for Porsche models including 911, Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan, and Panamera. Each tank is designed to deliver exact fitment, superior material strength, and long-term resistance to heat and pressure - matching the quality and precision of factory components.
What Do Coolant Bottles / Expansion Tanks Do?
The coolant bottle or expansion tank works as part of a
sealed cooling system to:
- Store
and regulate excess coolant as temperatures and pressure fluctuate.
- Maintain
consistent pressure to prevent overheating or boiling.
- Allow
coolant recovery as the system cools, keeping the radiator full.
- Provide a visible level indicator to monitor coolant condition and volume.
A properly functioning expansion tank ensures your engine operates at a stable temperature, improving efficiency and extending engine life.
Why Do Coolant Bottles Fail?
Coolant bottles are constantly exposed to heat, vibration,
and pressure, which can cause degradation over time. Common causes of failure
include:
- Plastic
fatigue or cracking from thermal cycling.
- Coolant
leaks around seams, caps, or hose connections.
- Discolouration
or brittleness from age and coolant exposure.
- Faulty
pressure caps leading to loss of system pressure.
- Corrosion or contamination inside the tank.
Symptoms of a failing coolant bottle include visible coolant leaks, low coolant warnings, overheating, or pressure loss within the cooling system.
Why Replace Faulty Coolant Bottles / Expansion Tanks?
A damaged or leaking expansion tank can quickly lead to overheating, engine damage, or complete cooling system failure. Replacing it ensures safe, efficient operation and protects vital engine components.
Benefits of replacement include:
- Restored coolant capacity and pressure stability.
- Prevention of leaks and overheating.
- Enhanced cooling system reliability and engine protection.
- Factory-spec construction with manufacturer-level durability.
All replacement tanks are designed to meet or exceed factory standards using high-grade materials that resist cracking, corrosion, and deformation under extreme conditions
