So i just bought my evo about two weeks ago, and I noticed when I drive my car for a short amount of time, for like about 20 mins or more, I check my acd/ayc reservoir and I see my fluids are a bit below minimum. But when I park my car and let it cool down for like 15-20 mins, the fluid goes all the way back up to max... DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY IT DOES THIS?! Is it normal? A tech at mitsu dealership said im gonna need a new pump.. -.- hoping I dont.

 

this is normal... There is a high pressure reservoir in the pump, and when you drive, it is allways filled with fluid, so your plastic reservoir in the trunk goes a bit low... When you turn the car off, the fluid from the high pressure reservoir slowly goes back to the trunk reservoir so the level goes up....

 

Oh ok, i wasn sure if its normal or not. I have a warranty on the car still so I just wanted to make sure it wasnt the acd/ayc pump. But thanks for the info.

 

well, if you can get a new pump before the end of warranty, for whatever reason, do it as these pumps are failing quite often..

 

Read your owners manual.

 

I would...if it came with one..

 

Pretty sure you can find it online. Don't quote me on that though

 

This might blow your mind, but there's a place called a dealership that sells OEM stuff

 

This might blow your mind, but I'm not gonna go to a dealership and spend money to buy a manual when I found the answer within minutes on this forum.

 

The car should have come with an owner's manual. If not, and you bought the car new from the dealership, i would demand one. If you bought the car used, then spending some money to buy one would be a good investment.

 

Exactly. No better way to get info than directly from the horse's mouth complete with specifications and all maintenance requirements and schedules.

 

Read the owners manual.

Edit

ok, guess that was already covered lol

 

A lot of blowing in here..........
