When the coolant reservoir on my 2012 Fiat 500C started leaking, the dealership quoted me nearly $300 to replace it. Instead of handing over my wallet, I grabbed the parts and did it myself for about $80.
In this video, I’ll show you:
- How to diagnose a failing coolant reservoir
- How to remove the factory CLIC hose clamps
- Why you NEED the correct CLIC R tool
- Step-by-step replacement process
- What to watch out for when refilling and bleeding coolant
- How much money you can save doing this yourself
If you own a Fiat 500, this is a very common issue and an easy weekend DIY with the right tools.
