Acura TL 2005 overflow coolant cap






so yesterday i Was driving on the highway and my car started to smoke . It haven’t started to overheat untill I saw that the cap was broken . do I have to replace the whole thing or just the cap part. I’m sure I saw something in the reservoir part but it was still coolant in it filled up . I also can see a reflection of a circle idk if normal or not

Dude, look at the OEM parts link I provided above, each active numbered component identifies an individual part you can buy, in regards to the reservoir tank, separately from Acura. 1,2,3,4,5,&6. There is no 'belt in there'.

If you want to buy an aftermarket reservoir tank with the cap and hose for $4.79 before shipping go to rockauto.com and you will find it under coolant recovery tank. Done.

Take it to the dealer before you mess something up! You clearly don't have the skill set to be working on your own vehicle.

Why would there be a belt in a reservoir tank? Something called common sense, but maybe I'm just smart!

Resovoir Cap sealed shut

Hey what's good?
Something similar happened to my TLS. I also noticed just before this happened the AC stopped working. Are these related? And after I get the new resovoir tank (because the cap is melted/sealed on) is it an easy install?
Thanks fellas.
