2015-2019 Ford Transit 3.2, 3.5, 3.7 Gas, Flex, Diesel & CNG Coolant Reservoir Tank
The Ford Transit, a widely used delivery vehicle, is known to have frequent issues with the Radiator Coolant Reservoir.
This issue is mainly caused by a few factors, with the vehicle's age being a key contributor. Ford Transits are driven for high mileage and experience significant heat in the engine bay. This is especially common in models with Ecotec or turbocharged engines, which generate a lot of heat, affecting both the coolant and the engine bay.
Excessive heat and the vehicle's age can cause the plastic to break down over time, leading to leaks. For peace of mind and to avoid further issues, it's best to replace the entire assembly.
Watch out for coolant leaks from radiator hoses, coolant joints, heater assemblies, and the radiator itself. Insufficient amount of coolant can cause serious engine damage. Always check the manufacturer's specifications to ensure you're using the correct coolant for the vehicle.
