So my radiator reservior fell off the bracket and is somewhere in the road, it hasnt overheated is it fine to leave off or should i buy a new one? the reason i ask is my buddies old hatch never had one and it was fine. whats the point of them by the way?

 

The reservoir is not a decoration. The cooling system needs the reservoir for coolant overflow when the engine is hot and coolant return when the engine is cold. Replace the reservoir to ensure proper functioning of the cooling system. An overheated engine is often destroyed and must be replaced.

 

its a no brainer. honda didnt put it there if it had no function. RONJ proved that with a good point

 

pff, it's purely aesthetic, like the oil pan. Throw it out and enjoy the weight savings.

 

def get a new one from honda

 

Alright thanks guys

 

lol. /me heads to the garage for weight mods.
