Plastic OEM Coolant Bottle
hey guys,
i searched 3rd gen but couldn't find this info...
does anyone know if there is a better aftermarket replacement for the OEM plastic coolant bottle (one that is behind passenger headlight)? found mine leaking this morning and thought i would ask before ordering one from mazda.
thanks,
binz

Nope, used or Mazda. In theory you could make one, but it's a complicated space there.
I think they're around $100ish new from Mazda and look SO much better, bright white!

I moved both the coolant overflow and washer bottle to make room for brake ducts, so I used a Jaz 1 qt. recovery tank (along with a jaz oil breather) and moved it to the engine bay:

i actually don't know where it's leaking from but i guess it could be just the neck. will have to pinpoint and take it from there.
the aluminum can you made is pretty slick ninesixtwo, but wouldn't work on lhd models.
thanks guys.

My point earlier was they will overflow...not leak.
As coolant heats it expands and goes into the overflow tank. If the cooling system is not completely sealed, for any reason, the vacuum created as the coolant cools and contracts is lost. When that happens the coolant in the overflow isn't drawn back out and eventually the tank overflows.
