Hi
I was adding cooling fluid today and that flouting stick fall a part in pieces and disappeared.
Does that tank have filter to stop it from moving further?
Thanks

Tanks don't have filters but passages are small so usually not a danger. they do that quite often (mine just dissapeared recently) - I have not seen them falling apart into small pieces but they break at their base and fall inside the tank.... No big deal - I would let is seat there until the next coolant flush as you will have to replace the whole tank then... in the mean time watch the coolant level by looking inside the tank and Styrofoam like leveling piece inside to make sure it is not too low... also if coolant is low you will get dashboard message..
