I was amazed at how good the reservoir and .

I was blown away by the fine workmanship of the reservoir and that it was a precision factory part for my 2013 Chevy Cruze and the metal in the reservoir tips was a plus it made it very good It's easy who replace the odd one with a new one.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Big and bulky

What You Need

If the coolant tank in your Chevy Cruze fails, replace it with this one. It has been redesigned with more support at common failure points compared to the OEM GM tank and is cheaper than the dealer OEM tank. Easy to replace, YouTube is full of videos how to change it.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • No Instructions

Very good quality at an affordable price

This coolant reservoir is of very good quality at an affordable price. Rarely have I seen a higher quality product than the original. This tank is far superior to OEM in quality and price. I bought this to replace my son's 2014 Chevy Cruze. I am very happy with my purchase. Very fast shipping and well packaged Brian R.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Repair

Even if you don't need it

I highly recommend replacing your original tank even if you don't need it. This particular one is oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo better made than the one that was available. Plastic is better, and the small part that the clamps attach to has a metal fitting that prevents them from breaking! Very easy to install (I'm a female so if I can install it properly with my nails then so can you lol). Highly recommended 😉

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Empty

I hate myself for not getting it before it all went wrong.

TCP. Drove around adding coolant every time I got an overheat warning until my water pump, hose and thermostat all died. It cost me too much to fix the whole thing only for the overheating problem to come back as the tech never bothered to look at the tank. And so, $18 and 5 minutes of YouTube installation instructions later, I solved my problem. Since then no more overheating. This part is recommended in almost every Cruze related article and video, so get it ASAP and save yourself money and…

Pros
  • creates trust
Cons
  • There are disadvantages

Fits - 2012 Chevrolet Cruze ECO

Firstly the quality of the tank is top notch as you would expect from a Dorman product and it came complete with a gas cap. Steel inserts in the top and bottom drain holes. My problem is related to the Revain parts manual. It was clear it wouldn't fit in my 2012 Cruze ECO and they pointed me to other branded products that cost twice as much as Dorman. So I dared. bought it and bingo it was an exact match. Installation was easy, but you have to unclip the battery and slide it forward to make…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Upgradeable

GREAT replacement OEM

This was a great OEM replacement part that solved my coolant problem. You can tell this part is a much better designed piece by having steel reinforcement in the areas stressed by the spring clips. I would buy it again but I know I don't have to. Installation Tip: Go to YouTube and search. There is a detailed video on installing this part in a Chevy Cruze. It can also be a good time to flush the coolant in your system. This is important because if the system was not sealed (leaky), contaminants

Pros
  • Excellent fit for me
Cons
  • Quality

Use this to turn my system into an expansion tank.

So my truck was made around the time they were first used but not actually used on it. He had a regular cap with an expansion tank. This worked fine, but after replacing my cooler, which was slightly underperforming, I found that the system wanted to clear and wasn't retracting properly to keep the system full. Going to higher altitudes is so annoying that the system also starts to boil. I added this to the overflow tank with a check valve so if there is a vent the system can cycle back up to…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black
