Amazing What New Overflow Bottles Do For An Engine



I had to custom cut a sensor hole into the new windshield fluid tank because the one that I needed was discontinued,

Once I did that, turns out I had to move the cruise control over so it could fit.

Well, The coolant overflow bottle was just a new factory replacement I got from the dealer, screwed right in no problem.

The windshield bottle was a different story though....

When I called about a replacement, I asked about getting one made with a hole for the low fluid level sensor, and one for cruise control also...

DISCONTINUED for BOTH of the options.

I had to order one that wasnt made for cruise control and without a hole for the sensor.

I had to make me a new hole in the new bottle by cutting it out myself, I also had to move the cruise control over by one screw hole so it would fit and still be screwed in.

Both bottles are from the dealer, ChepoZone didnt have anything close to them.

This was definately worth the money I spent.

Ya...looks nice..until it gets dirty again couple months later.
My preference is to hide both the coolant and the wiper catch cans.
It makes the engine bays look much cleaner.

Well, since I have the low washer fluid sensor it's kinda hard for me to hide something like that.

I dont know, I guess ive always been a person that likes it original...while still looking good lol

How exactly would you "Hide" them anyway? Ive seen in previous posts where they put a 4th gen in, but that requires cutting, no thank you.
