Just bought a RS and Missing parts under the hood need help.

[davidlee]

I bought a 97 RS the other day and Im missing a few parts under the hood and I have no clue how some of the parts go back in. Ive looked at several manuals but they're not helping.

Im missing:
- power steering resevor and assy.
- windshield wiper fluid reservior and motor
- on the coolant reservior theres a hose missing off to the side that i have no idea where it connects to.

I have most of the power steering parts just unsure of how its assembled. Any help would be greatly appreciated and pictures would be an amazing help.

isnt the washer fluid res. in the trunk?

Check your trunk under your spare tire for the wiper tank/fluid/motor.

And the extra hose on your resevoir is your overflow tube. One end connects to the cap and the other connects to nothing

The wiper tank is the one under the hood. I dont have a rear wiper. As for the overflow tube, i can just run a long hose out to the bottom of the car and it will be fine?

Yessir you can. Thats what its for. To route it down if something were to happen.

And you should still have your wiper fluid tank in the rear if Im not mistaken. It was on my 98 RS 6 years ago and I had no rear wiper either.

Just the power steering issue and thats it.

The washer fluid pump in a RS/GS is under the hood, they dont have them in the trunk like the turbo models do.

Still nothing on the power steering? I could really use the help. Thanks
