My vx is stuck in my garage as of yesterday. It appears that the coolant reservoir has a crack in it and will not hold any water. Can anyone tell me how to get it out?
I think you have to remove the plastic splash guard from the wheel arch to access the tank.
MY RIDE
I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.
Just did this today.
Remove the plastic overflow pipe that goes from the radiator to the bottle, just pull it out, it has a grommet built into it.
There is one plastic screw and a ramset type plug that holds the inner guard to the coolant res, I tried unscrewing it and even had a flat srew driver between the guard and the res to encourage it to come apart, no luck. In the end I just levered it and popped it off. Once off I was able to get the screw out and reuse the screw and ramset thingy.
There is also 3 x 10mm screws. 2 towards the front bumper and one on the inner rail, reservoir drops down and you can remove it.
Is that the same in a VZ alloytec 190kw?
