I know on mk4's you can fill the expansion tank by pressing a little nipple in the filler neck with the end of the filler nozzle but I've not noticed one on my mk5.

I used to be able to get about 63 litres in my bora if I was very low and filled the expansion tank up.

It's not there on the Mk5  :surprised:

I topped my tank in the Spring and I now get an Evap engine light every few weeks - it seems you knacker the whole system by one squirt of fuel where only vapour is meant to go.
