ok. so i was driving with my brother, and on my display screen, in the dash the coolant icon came up. so i stopped the car and popped my hood and there was like half an inch left. i brought it to a gas station and filled it up w/e...but i realized that there was coolant like everywhere splattered. i found several cracks, tiny but small enough to leak. how much is it to get the holder replaced. what may have caused this to happen? is it common? help. :x

 

Hmmm what coolant did you fill it up with? You can only use pentosin G12 coolant in there. If you mixed G12 and some other type (green, yellow), then your coolant will turn to a brown sludge. You should get it flushed as soon as possible. The expansion tanks aren't that much to replace, especially if you do it yourself.

 

if you are refering to the car that is in your sig the coolant reservior is $47.00 Canadian part # 8d0121403L
