A degas bottle for a motor vehicle coolant system is provided. The degas bottle has a body defining an enclosed cavity bounded by an upper wall, a lower wall and a side wall extending between said upper and lower walls. An inlet extends into an upper region of the cavity proximate the upper wall and an outlet extending outwardly from a lower region of the cavity proximate the lower wall. An interior wall is disposed in the enclosed cavity. The interior wall extends from the upper wall toward the lower wall to a free end spaced from the lower wall. The interior wall has a vent opening proximate the upper wall and extends to the side wall on opposite sides of the inlet. A baffle is disposed between the interior wall and the inlet. The baffle extends from one of the upper wall or the lower wall to a free end spaced from the other of the upper wall or the lower wall.

A quick connector for permanently locked, non-disconnectable receipt of a tubular male insertion member having a lock feature, and assembly therewith is provided. The connector includes a housing having a tubular wall with inner and outer surfaces extending between opposite ends with a locking feature extending into the inner surface. The inner surface bounds a through bore having an annular shoulder. A retaining member has an annular retainer wall with inner and outer surfaces. The retaining member outer surface is sized for receipt in the through bore of the housing wall. At least one locking member extends radially outwardly from the retainer wall outer surface for lock engagement with the locking feature to prevent relative axial movement between the housing wall and the retaining member. The retainer wall has at least one locking finger extending radially inwardly for locked engagement with the lock feature of the tubular male insertion member.
