    P0600 CEL: Serial Communication Link | Anyone else experience this before?

    My wife's 2010 Mazda 5 has recently triggered the P0600 CEL. It has come on two times in the last two months. I've cleared it it with a PBD scanner, but would like to address the culprit. Anyone other owners/members experienced this? Any pointers on what to look for/troubleshoot?

    OEM alarm goes off with key (2010 Mazda5)

    Just wanted to confirm that the OEM alarm is supposed to go off in this scenario: Lock the vehicle with fob; unlock driver's side door with key then the horn starts honking. Reason I'm asking is because my wife ran into this issue recently where the fob battery was starting to die and was...

    What are these for?

    Curious as to what other MZ5 owners use these diagonal slits for in the second row foldout console (if at all).

    Sold my P5 today...a new chapter with a different manufacturer

    Sold my P5 today at 140K miles for $3250. I was the second owner for seven reliable years. It was time to get into something different that was still practical. I was growing tired of rowing gears after 24 years of owning only MT cars (5 in total); I wanted something that my wife could drive...

    Creaking Sound When Turning

    Trying to troubleshoot a sound I've heard a couple times in the past week. When the car is at idle or creeping along slowly (5 mph and under), I hear a creaking door sound when the steering wheel turns left. It lasts for a little while and then it'll go away for a few days and then come back...

    Hatch Door/Liftgate Strut Removal and Replacement

    I'm going to replace the struts to the hatch door/liftgate in the coming week. I took a quick glance at the current ones that I'm assuming are OEM (Showa is the brand name), and it looks like there are two bolts securing a strutr bracket to the chassis. And then the strut's socket goes over a...

    Coolant overflow tank replacement

    The original coolant overflow tank has finally developed some cracks after 13 years. I'm planning to replace it with a Dorman unit in the coming days. Upon quick glance last night, it looks like the tank is secured by sliding it on a vertical bracket that's bolted to the frame. And there's a...

    Key fob completes program setup...then doesn't work

    We have two key fobs for our MZ5. We have one that we use regularly and the other one is the backup. I have programmed the backup one three times in past few months, and it somehow doesn't work after a few days. I followed the MZ5 programming procedures and both fobs work upon completion. Both...

    What is leaking? (pics inside)

    Noticed some drops of what I think is engine or tranny oil this past week. The leak seems to be coming from where the transmission attaches to the engine, but I'm not 100% certain. I've been letting the oil drop onto cardboard and whatever is dripping seems to dry up and look like black paint...
