@@MobileCarMechanic I did it. Was actually super easy. Unfortunately my car is still leaking coolant from somewhere haha

​@@WhatToDoInOneDay Too much coolant, same as in the video, it was over filled. The coolant resevoir had a overflow chamber built in to it and will drip out from the bottom. The coolant Max line is the solid black line above the minimum line and the area with the x's.
