Coolant Bottle

If you've got a 1.9, I'm told that your coolant bottle won't work. You've got to pick up a bottle from the 2.1 engine. I couldn't find one at a junkyard up here so I had to buy a spanking new one at GoWesty for the better part of 50$ (ouch!). Just unscrew the coolant level sensor from your old bottle and pop it into the new one. I didn't bother to replace the O-ring because I don't think it is that critical. I just cleaned it up and popped it in.

(Note: Jerome who has installed a Zetec in a similar older van later told me I should replace the O-ring or the bottle will leak. See comments.)
