    Default How do you remove the coolant reservoir?

    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.

    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.
