Coolant tank/container?

[Jakemod]

I tried doing a search, but couldn't find anything that would answer my question. I noticed recently that my coolant container (the big white plastic thing next to the windshield washer resevoir) has a crack on it. I have an 04 so maybe its due to age? But anyway, my question is where can I get a replacement? I tried looking through infinitipartsusa.com, but cannot find anything close to a coolant tank/container. Would this be a part that an Infiniti dealer would carry/install? It looks like it wouldn't be hard to install. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And also, what is the actual name of this container? Thanks!

I thought so too, but when I view the illustration, it does not look anything like the container. The one in the pic looks much flatter and skinnier.

*Edit*
Just realized you posted the pic.

Dealer item. You could do a temporary repair with some two part plastic weld--

That's because of the profile illustration, but that is the right part for you.

Yes thats definitely something I could do in the mean time to prevent the coolant from leaking, but I do want to replace it to be on the safe side. I could get an aftermarket, but ours are mounted. I want to make sure it stays put and doesn't slide around. BTW, thanks to you to everyone who gave their input.

Ok thanks! I just wanted to make sure I was getting the right part.

I've already ordered it through infinitipartsusa.com so I can't back out now as they charge a 20% restocking fee. But thank you for the tip, someone else might need them. Now I just have to figure out if I should/can install it myself or take it to a dealer/body shop.

Very easy to swap,

Unplug the hose, unscrew 1 bolt, and lift the reservoir up.

Sounds easy enough. This may be a silly question, but should I empty the container before I start taking it apart? And since we're on the topic of coolant, any recommendation as to which brand I should use?

I would empty it...or remove the container tilt it and then remove the hose. I have been using Peak Long Life mixed with distilled water for a few months with no problems, formula of peak is very similar to Nissan's brand. ///4330&highlight=coolant

if you leave the hose connected at the bottom of the tank & disconnect it up by the radiator, you can pull the tank out with the fluid in it...
