Coolant Reservoir leaking - who has replaced theirs already
To those in Northern Illinois please enjoy the beautiful weather for the next 12 days at least . I came out to my spyder friday and there was coolant all over the place on the ground and some on the spyder .so after taking half of it apart and finding the Coolant Reservoir bubbling about half way down on the front side , I was just curious as to who else has had to replace their Coolant Reservoir tanks already ? the 2 dealers I called said they havent had to replace any , and didnt have any but a dealer in florida had some . Either way I ordered it and it will be here soon so please enjoy the weather on me ! Guess it gives me the time to put my plugs/wires, HID's and air filter in so ill look at it as a good thing .

I think there was a few coolant tanks that developed leaks at the overflow neck. Search the forum for it. Also if you don't tighten the filler cap to the second detent it will leak out also from the cap.

There's been at least 5 Spyderlovers that had the coolant bottle replaced under warranty.

Same here I am on my 3rd one now, first one was replaced under warranty.
I replaced the second one myself (pretty easy) part was about $60 I think.

Had mine replaced at around 18,000 miles under the BEST warranty; $50 charge per incidence. Developed a split in bottom half.

Mine was replaced at around 17000.00. Also replaced cap, suspected of holding too much pressure causing tank to split. Have 48000.00 now without any issues since.
