Re: Coolant refill problem

actually the new radiator came with one of the ports capped off and since i needed to use that port also i removed it and placed it on the one on the bottom of the neck. It's basically like a rubber cup held on with a radiator clamp

Re: Coolant refill problem

No Ive driven mine like 5,000-6,000 miles within the last 3 years. So not very much. I live out in Brockport so when I do drive its usually not too far. It's a SE and has a custom orange paintjob now used to be raspberry metalic.

Re: Coolant refill problem

I really hope this doesnt matter but i used a MX-6 radiator which was quite cheaper than an MX-3 one. Only thing it was missing compared to the MX-3 one is the port in the middle of the verticle side that that bottom tube of the resivour where u fill the acutal radiator attaches onto i just caped it ...

Re: i think i may need some help

so i put ome $30 gasket sealer in my radaitor and it did not help much. You're suppose to idle the engine for 15 mins with heater on max, and what i noticed was that after 12 mins the heat still was not blowing hot. Could there be a restriction in one of my lined to / from the heater core?

Re: i need help with my 1995 V6 mx3, Car wont start but tries to

just finished did mine the oter weekend. try not to take off the throttlebody because the gaskets are hard to come by. Theres alot of things 2 disconnect molex plugs, vaccum lines etc. just make sure you make a mental note of where everything goes. Other than that its not too bad.
