vimo19, can you point me to the site where I can buy this kit? Thanks

Thanks but this sounds like a warranty repair (instead of a TSB recall). Since my 04 Mazda3 is well beyond the warranty period, will they still fix this for me at no charge? illini97

Hi TheMAN, I'm not aware of any TSB for the A/C lack of cooling. Do you have additional information on that? To my understanding, there's no cabin filter for the '04 Mazda 3. I asked the dealer last time and he pointed out that the filter is only available on the Mazda6. Is he yanking my...

Hey guys, The weather here in Chicago is starting to get warm so I decided to turn on the A/C this afternoon for a bit in my 04 Mazda3. After letting it run for a few minutes, I noticed something very strange. Out of the two seperate vents in the center of the dash. The vent closer to the...

That's a great suggestion. Thanks Clifton. I'll talk with the dealer today to see if they can degrease first before performing any work to it.

Hi, I have an 2004 Mazda3. After doing the oil change, the dealership told me that they found some signs of leakage on the bottom of tranny. To try to pinpoint the problem, their recommanded service is to replace the left axle seal ($162) first, degrease then test drive to determine if the pan...

Hi, my 2004 Mazda3 has just reached 75k miles. So far, this car has been wonderful. The only problem I encountered about 10k miles ago was a bad engine mount which has been replaced. I'm planning on bringing it into the dealer for a full transmission service. They quoted me $149. Is this...

oh man...that's just wrong! (wedge) but funny as hell. I was here to get opinion for replacing my wife's Mazda3 brake pads and then I found this thread. Gotta hand it to you dude...you got balls (er...do you?) I'm gonna have to share this with my Acura forum buddies! Hahahaha....

My wife's Mazda3 is due for brake pad replacement. What would you guys suggest? This is only for everyday driving so normal performing pads would be sufficient. Metallic? Semi? Ceremic? What material is the stock pads? Is this good enough...

Please do. Thanks.

I live in Hoffman Estates. I want to get some all-season high performance in 215/50R17. What do you have in stock and price?

shhhhh...I corrected my original posts. Don't tell anyone. (gossip)

Thanks for the reply. I did find those 3 threads you highlighted as a result of my search but didn't get the warm and fuzzy about the 215/50R17s from any of the replies. Just wanted to make sure they don't rub. Keep in mind though my wife drives this car 99% of the time so maybe that's why...

Hi all, first time poster. I'm actually posting for my wife (since she's alittle computer challenged). Let me just say this little Mazda3 is pretty fun to drive around. I own an Acura TL-S and it doesn't handle curves as confidently as this car sometimes. (rockon) Ok...here's my question...
