lookin for cheap and used and such, dont even know the exact name for this piece though,


the radiator hose runs to this, basicly what happened was the owner before me broke off the overflow nozzle, so he jb welded the tube with the nozzle still in it back to the neck piece, and it came off the other day while i was driving, sprayed coolant everywhere


the tube and such


where it connected


just a close up

anyone know where i can get one of these cheap and used? or if the other years used the same part, and i could just go to pick and pull and yank one off

 

you can get it from autoparts store, costs like 6 bucks i think...

 

****** awesome, even better than going to pick n pull, you have a name for it by any chance? ive just been calling it the radiator neck piece

 

Eh?

I think he's talking about plastic mount where the cap goes on, and how he broke his nipple off of it (looks like) for the overflow bottle. I've never seen those at auto parts stores, just the caps.

Mazdatrix.com carries OEM replacements for the mount or caps, whatever you need.

 

ill check mazdatrix, but im looking for that whole neckpiece that i circled in the first pic

 

Hah, wow it's $43.79 from mazdatrix. Try the for sale section on the board, someone might have one on a parts car or something they can sell you for cheap.

 

ill probably just end up goin to picknpull, i was there saturday and they had two fcs, both im pretty sure had the part still intact

 

you get a part name or number on it by any chance?

 

The whole neck? You can replace JUST the plastic mount that has the overflow tube come off of it, you don't need to replace the whole neck. Unless you cracked that too? In that case, check FS section for that too, I've bought 2 through there fairly cheap.

 

nm think i found it

 

the nipple broke off inside the hole, i cant get it out, and dont have a dill bit to drill it out with, it shouldnt cost more than a few dollars for the whole neck at pick n pull, and if they want too much, ill just take the nipple, and then find a bit to drill out the hole on tis neck

 

For just the plastic mount, not the whole neck:

RADIATOR CAP NECK 86-88 W/ OF TUBE 15-17YA-N326 $43.79

 

Look at this pic



You don't really need to replace the whole neck, but if you want to you can. Yours is J, K is for later model s4's. That whole plastic piece unbolts if you care, but like you said you can get the whole neck too.

Also, not just any neck will work, only 86 model s4's WITH overflow tube on that part. Not all s4's had them, and s5's are completely different, just FYI.

 

makes a lot more sense, i thought you were trying to say i just needed the cap, thought maybe you misunderstood, but i guess i did O_o

ty very much

 

Ah okay, sorry about the confusion. Good luck.
