LSD Failure LIST DO NOT POST unless your car has had a LSD FAILURE! This is a thread to list how many people have had their LSD fail. (meaning a registry only) Please open a new thread for discussion. Please post your miles or approx. miles at the time. Also, please note if yours was welded or...

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!!

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...

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...
