VMP S197 Engine Coolant Degas Bottle Kit (VMP-DGA021) - 2005-2010 Mustang GT / V6
Clean up your 2005-2010 S197 Mustang engine bay and gain valuable working space with the VMP Engine Coolant Degas Bottle Kit. Designed specifically for Mustang GT and V6 models, the VMP-DGA021 replaces the bulky factory coolant reservoir with a compact, direct-fit design that maintains full functionality while providing a cleaner, more performance-oriented underhood appearance.
Whether you're changing belts, checking connections, handling trackside maintenance, or improving the presentation of your Mustang's engine bay, the reduced size of the VMP degas bottle gives you additional room to work. The direct-fit design works with the factory coolant hoses and connections, accepts the factory coolant cap, and includes the fittings, bolts, and clamps needed for installation.
Compact Replacement for the Factory Coolant Reservoir
The factory S197 coolant reservoir is large, visually prominent, and can become discolored as it ages. VMP's compact replacement reduces the amount of space occupied by the reservoir while providing a cleaner appearance under the hood.
The smaller footprint helps eliminate some of the visual clutter created by the factory reservoir without sacrificing the functionality of the engine coolant degas system.
More Working Room Under the Hood
The reduced size of the VMP degas bottle creates additional working space within the Mustang's engine compartment. This can make belt changes, connection inspections, routine service, and trackside maintenance easier by improving access to surrounding components.
The additional space is particularly useful on modified Mustangs where aftermarket performance components can make the engine bay increasingly crowded.
Direct-Fit Factory Connections
VMP engineered the VMP-DGA021 specifically around the 2005-2010 S197 Mustang platform. The reservoir works with the factory coolant hoses and connections, allowing it to serve as a direct-fit replacement for the original degas bottle.
This application-specific design provides the packaging and appearance benefits of a compact aftermarket reservoir while retaining the necessary factory cooling system connections.
Factory Coolant Cap Compatible
The VMP degas bottle is designed to accept the Mustang's factory coolant cap. The original cap can be transferred directly from the stock reservoir, or owners can continue using a compatible decorative coolant cap already installed on the vehicle.
This helps retain factory-style functionality while allowing existing engine bay appearance upgrades to remain in place.
Quick-Connect Components and Hardware Included
VMP includes the fittings, bolts, and clamps needed for installation. The supplied quick-connect components simplify integration with the factory cooling system and help make the VMP-DGA021 a complete replacement solution without requiring individual installation hardware to be sourced separately.
Durable Textured Black Finish
The reservoir features a textured black surface designed to complement the surrounding factory and aftermarket components in the Mustang engine bay. The textured finish helps conceal tooling marks while maintaining a clean and consistent OEM-quality appearance.
Its understated black finish works equally well in a mostly stock engine bay, dedicated performance build, or show-oriented Mustang.
Developed Using 3D CAD Design
VMP developed the S197 Mustang degas bottle using modern 3D CAD design methods to create an application-specific replacement for the original reservoir. The design was evaluated using 3D-printed prototypes and further refined through real-world testing.
This development process allowed VMP to optimize fitment, available engine bay space, connections, and overall functionality before producing the finished degas bottle.
Form and Function for the S197 Mustang
The VMP-DGA021 is more than an appearance upgrade. Its compact dimensions free up valuable room around the engine while the direct-fit connections maintain the functionality required from the cooling system.
For owners looking to replace an aging or discolored factory reservoir, create a cleaner engine bay, or gain additional room for maintenance and performance modifications, the VMP Engine Coolant Degas Bottle Kit provides a purpose-built solution for the 2005-2010 Mustang GT and V6.
