Why would they do this? Every reservoir clear except coolant.

My salesman told me that because of the coolant reservoir's proximity to the turbocharger and related plumbing, a special heat-resistant construction was required. I'm just repeating what I was told, and am not taking a position on the matter.

The black reservoir on the 2.0T does indeed stay very warm for a little while after engine shutdown. Too hot to touch, at least for a time.

One sentence would have been better than making people watch a video.
Sorry to have inconvenienced you. Block me to avoid my future displays of aggravation and attempts at humor.

I changed the title just for you. 👍 😀

There has to be some reason. I'm not sure I ever owned a vehicle without it.
