Description
itsubishi OEM MD331640 is a radiator inlet coolant bypass pipe used in certain Mitsubishi vehicles, including the 1997-2002 Mitsubishi Mirage with a 1.5L engine. This component is part of the engine’s cooling system and plays a crucial role in directing coolant flow between the radiator, engine, and other cooling system components.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Coolant Bypass Pipe:
- Coolant leaks near the radiator or engine.
- Overheating due to restricted or improper coolant flow.
- Visible cracks, corrosion, or damage to the pipe.
- Coolant odor or puddles under the vehicle.
Replacement Tips:
- Compatibility: Double-check that the part is compatible with your specific Mitsubishi Mirage model, year, and engine (1.5L).
- Coolant Drain: Before replacing the bypass pipe, drain the coolant from the system to avoid spills and contamination.
- Inspect Related Components: Check the O-rings, gaskets, and hoses connected to the bypass pipe for wear or damage, and replace them if necessary.
- Refill with Correct Coolant: Use the coolant type specified in your owner’s manual when refilling the system.
- Torque Specifications: When installing the new pipe, ensure all bolts and connections are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque specifications to prevent leaks.
