Dorman - OE Solutions Engine Coolant Reservoir P/N:603-802
Swap out a cracked or leaking reservoir with the Dorman coolant recovery tank, part number 603-279. This pressurized coolant reservoir holds engine coolant as part of the sealed cooling system. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 Ford Transit Connect with the L4-2.0L engine, and the catalog lists it in the front position.
The part is listed under two names, coolant recovery tank and coolant reservoir. Dorman designed it to duplicate the original reservoir's fit and function. It ships with its own cap and mounting brackets.
In the box: one reservoir, one cap and mounting brackets. Mounting hardware is not included, so consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether the originals may be reused. The reservoir is natural-colored. Country of origin: Taiwan.
Signs a reservoir may need replacing include cracks in the plastic, coolant seeping from the tank or its seams, and a coolant level that keeps dropping. If the reservoir is the source of the leak, this unit replaces it. Diagnose the cause first, because hoses and other cooling parts can show similar signs.
