How much is a coolant reservoir hose?
An aftermarket coolant reservoir hose typically costs anywhere between $32 and $196.
What do I need to replace my coolant reservoir?
For a coolant reservoir of the overflow or expansion tank variety, the only things that need to work well are the radiator pressure cap and the hose from the radiator neck to the reservoir. These are both inexpensive and easy to replace. The radiator cap isn’t easy to diagnose.
Where is the coolant hose on a radiator?
On the bottom of the tank , there is a larger circumference coolant hose that runs to the radiator. This hose is typically secured by the same type of clamp as the two hoses on top of the reservoir. Using the same technique as above, loosen the clamp holding the hose and slide it down the hose until it is far from the connection.
How do you get coolant out of a radiator?
Wrap a rag around the coolant hose and disconnect it from the reservoir, letting any coolant in the hose drain into the drain pan. Now, unscrew the clamp on the other end of the coolant hose and let coolant drain from the hose and the radiator into the drain pan.
How does the overflow hose in a radiator work?
An overflow hose runs between the radiator cap and the reservoir tank where extra coolant is stored (and added). As pressures within the cooling system change with coolant temperature, a valve in the radiator cap allows coolant to flow back into the reservoir to relieve pressure buildup which naturally occurs.
How do you replace a coolant reservoir on a radiator?
Start by attaching the coolant hose to the radiator. This will probably clamp on so tighten the clamp fully to avoid possible leaks later. When it’s tight, attach the other end to the coolant reservoir. Ease the new reservoir into place and attach with the bolts until it’s firmly seated.

What should I do if my coolant reservoir is leaking?
Follow the instructions to mix the coolant together with the right quantity of water. Reattach the negative cable to the battery terminal, turn on your car, and let the engine run for several minutes to check for any leaks. The only possible sources of a leak would be at either end of the hose.
