anybody know the part code for the 184ps scout calliper carriers ?

I had this on my Scout when I bought it (was an advisory) £50 for a reel from a breakers and less than an hour to fit. Who ever quoted 570 is having your pants down. Longest bit of work was whipping the seat out to make access easy.

This will sort your issues. I'm going to put one on my 2017 Scout https://www.darksidedevelopments.co.uk/products/darkside-front-mounted-engine-oil-cooler-kit-for-2-0-tdi-mk7-platform-engines.html?srsltid=AfmBOooTcG9YpOyE_3U-_SL3TBUIkzojxJTmR30dsUUiOxA1pOhLMkmH

I could have... But when I can get the part for £15 trade I now have a spare and a nicer looking engine bay.

The pics above are from my 2017 2.0tdi where I could access the bag fairly easily. But I went the new header tank route anyway. As i didnt want to risk bursting the bag trying to remove it.

Aforementioned label.

The bottle will have "mit silikat" written on its side

This happened to my Dad's 13 plate 2.0TDI combi. He ended up having to have the head off, as the coolant channels were absolutely gummed up. Same initial symptoms of heater not working. Head issues were caused by the system over pressurising due to blockages. He went through 3 water pumps as each one started leaking, until the head work was done. Needless to say, the first job I did on my 17plate Scout was to replace the coolant bottle with a silica free one.
