    the engine mount needs to come out to remove the bottle, but other than that its 2 hoses to it

  3. Thanks matey.
     
  4. I replaced mine a few weeks ago (R26), its not the cheapest of parts from Renault but not ridiculous either. Easy job - I managed to do it without touching the engine mount

  6. Can you explain how? Thank you!
     
  7. Replaced mine with a Topran one from euro car parts. About £20. Looked exactly the same as the OEM one and came with a new cap. Can’t remember if I removed the engine Mount but easy to whip out if needed.
     
  8. I was replying for the benefit of others, one that mentioned it wasn't the cheapest of parts from Renault and another that bought a patent part for similar money...
