Thank you very much. I will indeed go buy the tank and install it myself tomorrow morning. Is it hard to take off and install that upper line that runs to the radiator (#11)? And about the recall on the mat sensor, unfortunately my VIN# does not lie within the ones that were recalled? As they say at the dealership. I don't know how they could recall 200,000 units just like mine (same year and model) but not most of them when it's clearly a problem.
Remove the upper radiator cover, again more Torx screws.
The arrows below point to the hose, no need to remove these screws.Use some dikes to cut band off of the hose at the radiator end, and if there is not a replacement band use a hose clamp.
oh check you reservoir cap as the bottom piece of plastic deteriorates and the o ring sometimes falls off, if bad replace that too.
