Hey guys, so if my thermalwax is bad and they're no longer available, are we just SOL?

After opening my thermalwax due to idle issues - I took mine off and inspected it to find wax actually leaking out past the little plastic thing that screws in...now what lol.

 

N326-13-W87 is available, Mazda has a bunch. its just the Wax thing and not the assembly

 

So im a little confused. I thought the thermowax valve was this assembly? Is this something else?


Edit: So i may have mispoken, and called the part below the thermowax valve but its actually just a thermovalve (?) after doing a little more digging. Atkins has it listed as a Thermal Wax valve and the part that @j9fd3s is referring to is a Thermowax pellet.

 

Mazda calls that a Valve, Thermo; N304-13-980A which us NLA
easy to bypass it

 

@j9fd3s Do those go bad? Are these operated with vacuum? Does coolant flow through any of those nippels ?

 

when its cold vacuum passes through it, and it pulls the secondary throttle shut.
when it warms up vacuum gets blocked, and the secondary plates open.

 

Thank you for the info!
