    Few months ago I was filling my engine coolant tank and the cap broke in half leaving just the top part with no way to attach it to the tank. After much research and even calling the dealer I still cannot identify the caps part number or source a replacement.

    In the image below I need the middle circled item. It is a snap on cap with a hose barb. If the coolant were to overflow from the overflow tank, the hose drains to the ground.

    It looks similar to a 2007 Camry cap however it is not the same.

    Anyone ever lost/replaced this? I imagine it is pretty generic and may be used on other models.

    You were talking to the parts department, and they couldn't find the part?? Man, they should hire Georgina!

    It even took me a while to spot it in the diagram in #2. I kept looking near the radiator, not back at the fan shroud, which the reservoir is part of.
