Q: How to Maintain the Coolant Reservoir and What Steps Are Involved for a Mercury Marauder?
A: Service of the coolant reservoir starts with draining coolant from the degas bottle alone. First remove both the supply hose of the degas bottle and its overflow hose. Then you must remove the bolt that secures the degas bottle. Hose clamps should never be reused in this process since worm-style clamps should replace the constant tension clamps when you reinstall. Perform the installation steps by reversing the uninstallation procedure.
Q: How to service the coolant reservoir on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: First drain coolant fluid only from the degas bottle before servicing the coolant reservoir. The service of the coolant reservoir starts by eliminating both supply and overflow hoses attached to the degas bottle. Proceed by taking out the bolt that maintains the degas bottle. The replacement of hose clamps must be with worm style clamps that correspond to the size of constant tension clamps being removed. The installation ends by performing the opposite steps of removal.
Q: How to Safely Handle the Coolant Reservoir and What Steps Should You Follow on a Mercury Mariner?
A: The servicing procedure for the coolant reservoir depends on waiting for engine cooling since operating under pressure enables steam and hot liquid to pop out with dangerous force resulting in severe injuries. You can unlock the cooling system pressure through a gradual counter-clockwise turn of the pressure relief cap until it reaches one half turn before removing it. Hose clamp pliers will secure the degas bottle-to-radiator hose while you move the coolant fluid from the bottle through a suction device. The radiator-to-degas bottle hose requires disconnecting from the degas bottle after removing its two nuts at 6 Nm torque setting (53 lb-in) before installation. You should lift the degas bottle to unclose the degas bottle-to-radiator hose then remove the degas bottle. Perform installation by following the opposite steps of removal while filling the degas bottle with specified coolant mixture and reaching the correct fill mark.
