    Has Anyone Had to Replace the Coolant Elbow (Turbo)

    That's the one. Ever since I bought my car (2nd owner) I smelled coolant. I finally found the pinhole leak when I was tearing out the intercooler pipes, for a blown LSD, as I was inspecting the rest of my car. $70 later...coolant smell and low coolant levels solved!!

    Has Anyone Had to Replace the Coolant Elbow (Turbo)

    What do you need? I have the whole turbo system printout. I could get the other pages when I go to the dealership to pick up the elbow.

    Has Anyone Had to Replace the Coolant Elbow (Turbo)

    coolant elbow??

    I went to the dealership and asked them for a printout for different screen shots I was seeing on their computer. They were very helpful, especially since I have been there 3 different times trying to track down the part number for the coolant return elbow!

    Has Anyone Had to Replace the Coolant Elbow (Turbo)

    I am wondering how many other people had to replace the coolant return elbow on their MazdaSpeed Protege. I could not find a replacement on aftermarket websites (hoping for a silicone one). I had to go to the dealership to get it. My first problem was that when I went to the dealership with...

    coolant elbow??

    Here are the pictures I took of my engine bay. The transmission is removed due to a blown LSD(cryhard). There is one line that runs from behind the engine, right above the oil filter assembly, and goes across the side of the engine to the backside of the turbo. The other coolant line...
