My coolant overflow tank is cracked. it's got a split that's about 1/4 inch on very upper part of the tank. I've come to find out that this tank has two layers of plastic and only outer part is cracked. should I get a new tank? if so, where can i get one?

 

Normally, the coolant never gets to that level. Also, there's an overflow that's in the upper area of the tank. So, unless I'm missing something here, you should be OK. A crack up there will not affect its function.

 

Yep, it shouldn't affect the function, but I just hate having broken parts on the car . A used one should be pretty easy and cheap to get your hands on, and I'd also check to see what the price for a new Mazda one would be - that could be a part that's reasonably priced new.

I have one taken out of my car this past weekend. I will sell it to you for $10 plus shipping for just the resevior (no neck, line, or rubber plug). It is in good shape and I can take pics if you want.

Let me know!

 

I believe they are around $150 new.

 

Wow! $10 plus shipping sounds like a great deal then!!

My paypal is shawnpp@3rdgenrx7.com. I'm guessing I can ship via UPS (trackable) for about $8. And can ship the next day after payment.

Just get yourself a aluminum AST someone is always selling used one I think I have one laying around from my old FD..

 

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm what's the AST got to do with his problem ? ? ? If you have a coolant recovery tank from your old FD that might be of more interest to him.

 

AST does not = overflow tank

 

lol I read the post wrong guess thats what happens when youre up last and cant sleep..

 

Heh heh, surely not the first time and it keeps it interesting ! !
