Hi all



My name is Andreas and i live in austria, europe and im an owner of an 92 FD JDM.



I had my fd3s at an self declaimed rotary specialist - but it was a big failure.

Now, im going to repair my car for myself ( like i did on my porsche 944 ).



When i got my car back from the specialst, i realized that the terrible sound was on when you are low on cooling fluid.

Today, i filled another water to the cooling fluid reservoir to find out, where the leak was ( cooling fluid ran out ).

When you follow the "pipe" for refilling, you will come to the reservoir. Beside the "Pipe", there is a black gasket on the top of the reservoir. The fluid is going out there. So my question, what part is missing there?

I guess the specialist took something away.



If you cant imagine what i mean, i will shoot a picture, because my english is not sooo good.



thx a lot

Andi

Loosing coolant is a sign of further trouble, black ring I think your refering to is seal from filler tube to reservoir.

Thx for your answer, i realized that the black rubber gasket is the "venture" for overfilling the cooling system with fluid.

I also found a broken belt after the cooling reservoir. AND im going to order a new coolent temp sensor from mazda malloy ( if he answers my order ) because the old one is broken.



Then, everything must be fine for now.



thx a lot

Andi
