I got a coolant overflow bottle (EL) from wreckers as mine cracked however this one is very dirty. Is there a way I can open it up and clean it from the inside as i was unable to get to the main chamber of the bottle. Or even better, are there any washing agents which i can safelt pour in there that will clean the crap off?
Well on top of that, does anyone know how much EB-EL overflow bottles cost new from Ford? Cheers. |

Morons, use a old toothbrush and scrub it by hand. These guys only use chemicals cos they dont want to get their hands dirty.

I tried the CLR on mine and it did jack. Spare yourself the trouble and just buy a new one.

Gave CLR a go and didnt work all that well... it removed the crap from just the tops of the bumps after soaking for a few hours. Went down to Ford parts today and got myself a newie, much better!

Very good.
Cleaning it yourself is worth a go, but its always nice to have new if you can.

I don't see the point in buying new when they go brown again after a year anyway. As long as you can see what the level is like it's all good imo.

The trouble with these is they discolour very quickly, I'd recommend keeping your grotty one on and buying another one as a spare to put on for events... (car shows, crusies, etc)

Thats what I plan on doing with mine anyway! Otherwise you end up needing to buy a brand spanker from ford every year.. I imagine that'd get pretty expensive quick!

It was only a natural thing that Fordgirl came up with a easy solution. Males find it easy to just replace.
Note: this was a joke, and while it was a generalisation of both sexes it was not meant to offend...LOL../finds flame suit  :
