All Engine And Engine Coolingcooling System Complaints
COOLANT RESERVOIR ON MAZDA 626 MODELS HAS A DESIGN FLAW. OUR VEHICLE HAS REQUIRED 4 OF THESE SINCE WE'VE OWNED IT. EACH TIME, THE PART IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AS IT IS OVER 12 MONTHS OLD. FAILURES OCCURRED ON 5/30/06 AT 118K AND AGAIN ON 6/1/07 AT 138K, AND NOW ON 7/11/08 AT 162K. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY ARE MANUFACTURED WITH A SEAM ON THE BOTTOM. THE SEAM LEAKS AND SO COOLANT GRADUALLY LEAKS FROM THE RESERVOIR UNTIL YOU NOTICE YOUR VEHICLE SLOWLY RUNNING HOT. SINCE I WATCH MAY GAUGES CLOSELY, I ALWAYS SEE WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. REPLACING COOLANT WILL PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM OVERHEATING BUT REPLACING THE RESERVOIR IS ALWAYS REQUIRED. LOCALLY THIS PART COSTS $100. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR TO REMOVE/DISCARD THE OLD RESERVOIR AND TO ATTACH THE NEW ONE. OUR LOCAL MAZDA DEALERSHIP HAS 50 OF THESE IN STOCK AT ANY GIVEN TIME....
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED DUE TO A COOLANT TANK LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A SERVICE DEALER, WHERE THE COOLANT TANK WAS REPLACED. AFTER A YEAR A HALF THE NEW COOLANT TANK STARTED TO LEAK CAUSING THE SAME OVERHEATING ISSUE.
VEHICLE OVERHEATED AND SPILLED COOLANT. IT HAD BEEN TO THE REPAIR SHOP 5 TIMES FOR OVERHEATING. *AK
