VE2 SV6 SIDI - How to remove/replace coolant overflow reservoir?

[dimsimnz]

Trying to get a short answer about how to attack this. Searched and searched and cant find any info on doing this anywhere.

From what I can see from the top I'll need to remove/ try and move the fuse box out of the way to even get down there to see how it's attached. Either that or possibly through the drivers side front inner guard. If I have to move the fuse box also looks like ill need to disconnect the ECU to be able to get enough movement in the cables.

Pretty sure the tank is split and coolant is dropping out rapidly directly underneath the overflow bottle, but need to get in there to have a decent look.

Am I on the right track?

Cheers

There is a hole in the tank toward the top. The hole is covered and fluid will exit via the downward facing relief hole.

These conditions would point to a buggered filler cap or damaged mating surface that would required a new filler housing.

It is unlikely to be split. Could be. But unlikely

Download the factory manual. It walks you through it.
