Dimplex · Apr 8, 2022

hi guys new here. just got back from Nissan with my 2015 nav stx-550 3.0 v6 td. New coolant bottle au 750$? and a Tee piece plastic thing the coolant hose's connect to au 250$. (this is just parts not install). Does this sound right?
I haven't brought them yet. ill show 2 photos of mine.

If you guys think this is rip off. if u can post a link or tell me where i can buy these items. i cant find them on ebay

. im in Australia Melbourne

Bottle has a snapped lower pipe inside, tee piece has collapsed. so i bogged it for now

thnx all <3

God I hate stealerships.

Check with Bursons and Repco for both parts.
I don't know for sure, but I reckon they'll be cheaper if they can supply.

And calling a few wreckers would be worth while too... if you have the time / patience. There's enough dead D40's around these days for parts (even V9X's)

Expensive, but if you think about the fact that Nissan would have to commission production runs of minimum order size and then sit on parts for maybe years, you can see why they are expensive.

Another option is to get a specialist fabrication company to make one from aluminium. Won't be cheap either.
