Hi Jimboy,

Thanks for your speedy response.

I didn't consider "repair" as I thought the coolant tank would get too hot to withstand a repair but I am certainly willing to try as I am hitting brick walls until I can visit a few scrapyards.

Do you have any tried and tested repair methods?

Thanks again.

Colin

WOW Thanks for that advice. Now wish I'd tried that instead of searching the internet for hours and hours )))

I'll order some today and fix it when this weather get better.

Cheers

Hi There,

I have an old Ducato 1.9TD 1997 Motorhome and unfortunately it started leaking coolant. On further inspection it turned out to be a small pinhole/split in the coolant reservoir.

I have taken the reservoir off to try and find a part number but cannot find one.

Does anyone know the code for these or where I can purchase a replacement please? I have searched the internet but all the reservoirs I've found so far don't look like the old one I have. Different positioned fixing lugs etc etc

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Colin

I am having exactly the same problem as Colin didView attachment 422739; finding a replacement for mine (one of the water connections was snapped off by some rather clumsy mechanics).
Is there any advice anyone can give me please?
The snapped off bit is still in the hose, but every type of glue or paste I've tried only lasts temporarily.
Cheers.

My 2.5d had the same type of tank

My 2.5d had the same type of tank as yours, couldn’t find one any where, the ones in the scrapyards were just as knackered and a new one sent through eBay was a completely different fitting despite having the same application number. I found that the long tank off the LHD Ducato fits with a bit of modification, a couple of small brackets and works well but you need to check how much clearance you have on the right side of the engine bay as this is longer-the air filter casing on mine is on its side so fits easily after cutting a couple of wiring harness studs down.
I think I did a post on this a while back, see pics for how I did it
