    Dealership says it's $350 to replace in an encore. Glad I saw this.

      It's why I went searching. Thank you for the video. They are saying the part is $128 and it's 1.5 hrs or labor. They just replaced the water pump (warranty) and missed this leaking part during their checks.

    What were the issues with this reservoir? Like what did the customer come in with originally? My coolant is leaking from the top hose where it meets the reservoir

      Just brought the exact same part for $63. I will change it tomorrow. My co worker said don't forget to get the air out of the system by running the engine with the cap off until the bubbles disappear. Is he correct?
