Video tutorial

This video shows how to change the radiator fluid reservoir on an Opel Zafira B or an Opel Astra H (the procedure is the same): the reservoir is located near the battery and is secured on a metal side guide with a clip at the rear. To work more easily, it is essential to remove the battery, starting with the negative terminal.

Using a syringe, the YouTuber removed all the fluid from inside the reservoir, then disconnected the lower hose and the two upper hoses by loosening the clips. The slide supporting the reservoir has a plastic stop that can be removed by prying with a small screwdriver, after which the reservoir can be easily taken out for cleaning or replacement.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
