Hi Mark,

I tried to clean my reservoir when I first changed coolant, but had
very little success with it. There seems to be no way to get past the
baffle, and the dirty stuff in there seems to stick to the walls pretty
well. It still looked pretty dirty inside despite my efforts, the fact
which I blame on P.O. or whoever failed to change coolant on a regular
basis. (Yours would probably be cleaner to begin with.)

I would say, it would be a good idea to flush it with water to get whatever
sediments are loose, bu don't worry about getting it to look clean, for it
most probably won't.

I ended up replacing tank and cap by new ones from FCP groton, since my
old reservoir started leaking (it developed a crack along a seam, and
didn't hold the pressure). The insulation on the wires on the coolant
level sensor was also extremely brittle and basically peeled off when
I removed the sensor. I had to replace that too.
