Coolant tank

[Newsguy]

I don't know about indies, but it was $1400 at the dealer last month. But we were lucky they had one in stock after a $500 40-mile tow out of the mountains! In that case, one doesn't complain.

Just based on the color of your tank ( discolored ) it is showing classic signs of leaking . The plastic tends to get brittle with age and heat cycles and then either a crack forms or a seam starts to leak . Nature of the beast , would be cool if someone made a direct fit out of aluminum . It is a pain in the neck job but with the proper tools and a lift about a 3-4 hour job .

I can tell you exactly how much, $950 CDN (taxes in). I had my indie shop do this just last week. $450 CDN for the reservoir + time.

I bought a tank and started to try and do it myself, but it was looking too difficult (poor access). So had my local independent do it instead. They billed me $660. for the labor. They commented that they don't like doing them either.

I try to do most repairs myself, this one was an exception for me. That said it seems many owners have done it successfully.
