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.
