A repair or service procedure for the coolant reservoir begins with draining all engine cooling system fluid until the engine coolant leaves the degas bottle. The first step requires disconnecting the radiator overflow hose that connects to the degas bottle. Detach the two screws from the power steering oil reservoir then relocate it outside of the work area. The degas bottle receives its engine coolant level sensor through hose detachment before hose removal. First remove the retaining hardware from the degas bottle then pull out the bottle from the vehicle. Installation of the new degas bottle must follow the steps in the opposite order which were used in the removal process.
