Having issues with my 2nd coolant reservoir...
Hey guys. My brother has a 2004 X-Type 3.0 and he keeps having issues with his coolant reservoir. His first one essentially exploded and his engine ended up overheating. So he got another motor put in along with a new cooling system, and now 3 months later the reservoir is cracked and leaking again.
My question is: what's causing this? Does any company make upgraded reservoirs? Thanks for any help!

I second this info. I went through two of these in a matter of months, with the exact same failure point, the plastic nipple the hose connected to on the side facing into the engine compartment sheered off. I was obviously suspicious, and as I was installing the second one I noticed the hose clamp clips were facing up. I figured that could be hitting the hood so I rotated them down. I noticed in your picture that the clips are facing up, so I recommend turning the clamp around.

Greetings, my 2004 X-type 3.0 is having reservoir hose issues. in AWD3.0 3rd picture from the top, the hose leaving the reservoir was split and i had to attach a connector hose because I had to stop the leak. can someone tell me what size is this hose and how to reconnect it to the three way hose if possible? Thanks in advance.
