Bill;
        While you are at it you might consider replacing the tank. The
last time I purchased an expansion tank from VW it came with a sensor.
The tanks develop white lines through them which later turn into cracks.
        I have been able to replace them with out draining the system. I
made clamps out of large dowels/broom stick handles. I draw them together
with two screws to pinch off the hose right next to the tank. That way
the rest of the system stays pressurized when you drain the tank.

Drive Safely & Good Luck
