I wanted to drop you all a quick post to let you know that the O.E.M. windshield washer tank for the FB is about to become extinct.

My Mazda dealership parts manager told me that there are only 3 (I bought one so make it 2) left in the country.

The price was $33.00 I am not sure if this matters to anyone but mine has a leak so I needed to replace it.

I am not authorized to sell the item, but if anyone wants to know anymore information you can PM me and I will give it to you. Otherwise I am sure that you can go to your local dealership and get it. (and pay retail )

My parts manager has been pretty good at finding discontinued stuff laying on shelvs at dealerships all over the country, If anyone has any requests please post them and I will do my best to find out if the part is available.

Now, I am sure someone is gonna say that this is the wrong forum for this and it should be in "parts for sale" so i am gonna respond now.... Shut up!

Thanks

and to think I just take them off and throw them away.

I am sure there are some people that will want to get one of these, so thanks for telling us.

 

I still haven't bought fluid or wipers in all the time I've had mine

I should just to see if they all work.

 

i was trying to route mine to spray the radiator....is that bad???i dunno

 

you would get steam when its on thinking ya on fire lol
well if you put a hot pan into cold water it bends so i wouldnt be to sure bout it

 

I've got a couple on the shelf and I would assume that VB and other aftermarket people will have them for a while but for lots of $$$. $33 for a new one is not bad.


BTW- the clutch fork is also not made by Mazda anymore. I would be interesting to compile a list of parts that are discontinued.

 

yea but theres still many available in the salvage yards.....if not we'll just fab one up from another car...aside from being rotorheads we are all some very inventive motherf***kers!

 

saddening, just nowhere near as saddening as the news i read about 12A rotor housings ...

 

and that news was...

 

Victoria British has them in stock...
