2003: Coolant Surge Tank Replacement: Time?

[luckyj]

It looks like I may have to have the coolant surge tank replaced in my new 2003 Coupe due to a small leak at the seal. How long will it take the dealer to do this and what are the steps he has to follow to do the replacement?

HI there,
Well, it takes about 45 mins to do this.
Some coolant will have to be drained, 2 10mm nuts removed, a couple of clamps, and then refill the system.
Run the engine, bleed out any air pockets, and recheck the level.
That about it, hope that this helps, c4c5
