After speaking to a few of the Ibiza boys about the removal of the n249 valve and the subsequent reservoir tank ( a few peeps have said it’s not that great anyway) I was just wondering if many of the leon boys have done it,. And if so what do they think? Or is it the exact same as the Ibiza?

Spent a few hours fitting the tank in 80 degree heat, made an L shape bracket to mount it off the battery tray next to the power steering bottle. Used the original breather hose but reversed and extended to fit to the inlet on the tank then some new 19mm hose for the outlet up to the breather...
