Coolant surge tank nut

vtirocz · 04-28-2020, 04:12 PM

Is there supposed to be a nut on the rearmost mount for the coolant surge tank / reservoir? See area circled in green in picture below. I'm wondering if the factory forgot to put this on or if it wasn't deemed necessary.

I'd appreciate if someone could take a look and report back.

The middle/top mount has a nut and the forward mount location has a rubber grommet only (no nut).

Looks like there are actually two studs with grommet only. There’s another stud down low just forward of the fill cap.

Thanks for the feedback! It sounds like it's normal then.

For what it's worth, it looks like the front / lower mount has a rubber grommet as shown in the picture below (circled in yellow).

So to recap, here's what's present at the 3 mounts:

Rear / lower mount: NO nut or grommet
Top mount: Nut
Front / lower mount: Rubber grommet

If anyone's looks different from that, let me know.
