2006 Buick LaCrosse Coolant Reservoir Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the coolant reservoir on 2006 Buick LaCrosse?

  A: The first step for replacing the coolant recovery reservoir involves removing the Coolant Reservoir hose clamp from the radiator overflow fitting then removing the hose from this fitting. First disconnect the Coolant Reservoir hose support retainer from its electrical harness connection. Then remove the Coolant Reservoir nuts from shock tower studs to extract the lower retainer and shock tower studs with the coolant recovery reservoir. Remove recovery reservoir coolant liquid through a clean storage container. Put the coolant recovery reservoir into its position on the lower retainer and shock tower studs before installing nuts onto studs. Tighten the nuts to 3.3 nm (29 inch lbs.). Clean water lubricates the reservoir hose that must be connected to the radiator overflow neck fitting. Position the hose end so it fits snugly against the radiator filler neck while the clamp sits between the fitting edge and the flared end. First install the Coolant Reservoir hose to the radiator overflow fitting. Then reconnect the Coolant Reservoir hose support retainer to the electrical harness before positioning the Coolant Reservoir hose clamp around the fitting. Add fluid up to correct parameters into the coolant recovery reservoir.
