Coolant sensor

[framey]

Hiya,
anyone know where the "Add coolant" sensor is located? - (\'92 3rd gen)
Searching through the forum, some say below the filler cap, others, on the radiator.

Mine comes on within ten seconds of starting - even when cold.

Thanks

On the filler neck. Single wire plug.

Just had to change mine.

Cheers Fish.

Can you get a replacement anywhere or did you have to go to Mazda?

I just got mine from Mazda. Think it was about 20 quid. Bloody rip off, but it fixed the problem.

Cool.
Anyone out there help me out with the part number?

Thanks

Try N3A1 -15 - 610A,  
Yes 20 something pounds.

But on my parts list, it goes on the "Thermostat cover".

 I would understand the filler neck to be the white plastic one on the overflow tank - thats NOT where it is on the parts list..

Thanks Martiny,
my understanding is that the filler neck is the one nearest the top of the engine - by the air pump. I think the thermostat is around there somewhere.

Thanks everyone - this forum ROCKS!!!

Ok, that ties up with the parts list.

But arent we supposed to top it up using white  expansion tank  in front of the rh wheel?

Have you been using colgate whitening toothpaste on that battery?

Are we?! :confused:

Thats not what people were saying in my thread about my coolant loss......

[Martiny]

Ok  , I could be wrong.

There is a level marking on the stick in the white plastic bottle.

So, do we check the level there, but fill it up from the "Thermostat cover" or filler neck as its being called here?

[FD3UK]

The Plastic tank by offside Wheelarch is the expansion tank. This has a dipstick in it to check the coolant level. Coolant moves from this tank via the AST during expansion and vacuum of the cooling system.

The main filling point is the cap ontop of the thermostat housing as indicated in an earlier posted Picture. Top up at this point using coolant mix to about 1" below cap.


Hope this helps,

Right we are suffering from terminology here!

Here is what Mazda calls the parts!
