r0x Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 (edited) 1998 Nissan Pathfinder... 200,456 miles... Any suggestions about an easy way to deal with that rotten plastic coolant reservoir? It looks like a lot of stuff would have to be disturbed to get the old one out and put a new one in. Thanks in advance for replies. P.S. Noticed that temperature gauge was running a little high. Inspection revealed the gaping hole in the tank. Fortunately the bottom half is pretty much intact. I taped it up as much as I could with waterproofing tape (silvery duct-tape) and topped off the coolant with 3/4 of a gallon of Prestone. Apparently I've been losing coolant for a while. OK for now but it's just a matter of time before the plastic splits open where it counts. Edited October 20, 2008 by r0x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laxman0324 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It might be the easiest part to replace on the truck...two bolts is it... oh yea, did I mention I did this with my grill and front bumper removed? I dont think you can do it without removing them, but even that really doesnt take long if you know what you are doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
