Removal Procedure
- Remove the recovery reservoir hose clamp and the hose at the radiator overflow fitting.
- Remove the reservoir retaining bolt.
- Remove the coolant recovery reservoir from the cowl tabs.
- Remove the coolant reservoir from the vehicle.
- Clean the coolant reservoir with soap and water.
- Rinse the coolant reservoir with clean water.
Notice: When adding coolant, use DEX-COOL® coolant. If silicated coolant is added to the system, premature engine, heater core or radiator corrosion may result. In addition, the engine coolant will require change sooner-at 50 000 km (30,000 mi) or 24 months.
Installation Procedure
- Install the coolant recovery reservoir to the cowl tabs.
- Install the reservoir retaining bolt.
- Install the reservoir hose clamp and the hose at the radiator overflow fitting.
- Fill the reservoir with coolant to the proper level. Refer to Cooling System Draining and Filling
Tighten
Tighten the coolant reservoir bolt to 11 N·m (97 lb in).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
