Inside the driver's door of my Mazda 6 TS there are 4 buttons for making the door windows open & close. The driver's door button still works - but from this morning, the other 3 windows won't open. I can open them from their own buttons - but not from the buttons in the driver's door. Is there a...

My Mazda 6 is coming up for its 2nd service (2 years old). My Mazda dealer offered me something called Supa Guard (or something like that) to protect the paintwork. Supa Guard isn't cheap and some friends have told me there's a better product called Zymol which is both better and cheaper. Any...

Maybe - but expecting a decent paint job isn't crazy. As I said earlier, I've never waxed a car in my entire life but the carwash wax always protected them before. Not from serious scratches of course but it was enough to protect against minor damage.

I haven't noticed any swirls yet. I'm talking about small scratches - between 2-4 inches in length and about the width of a human hair (probably thinner). I don't even know what caused them. Most probably, someone touching the car with a shopping trolley or just brushing past it in the...

The worst thing is that the undercoat isn't even a close colour match to the top coat. The car itself is blue and the undercoat seems to be a very light grey (almost white). Ordinarily I might be tempted to try T-Cut but I dread to think how it might end up with the top coats being so thin.

Sorry - by "manual" I meant using a jet spray, not sponges & cloths etc.

1killercls - you must be keen to wax it every month!! I take it to the car wash (hand car wash) every week where I wash it manually but I've never waxed a car in my life (apart from the wax that's mixed in with the water). Do you actually use proper wax, out of a tin??

I just found this out the hard way (i.e. I came back to my car and found all the windows down!!). I can't say I was amused. In fact, I just put up another thread about it..!

Mazda 6 TS auto... First Mazda I've ever owned. I only bought it 2 months ago but already it's covered in small scratches. Admittedly they're only small (about the size of a human hair) and you need to get up really close to see them - but it seems like the most insignificant thing will scratch...

ah - we were carrying furniture from my garage to his van and I had my keys in my pocket. It's possible that something might have pressed the button without me being aware of it. Thanks for the advice! (thumb)

That could account for it. I've never felt it happen in any gear other than 5th - but 5th gear comes in at quite a low speed. I might try using the Tiptronic to drive in 4th at around 45mph and see if it still happens.

This afternoon a friend called around who I hadn't seen since about Christmas. I decided to show him my new Mazda 6 TS automatic which I bought in January. At first we just had a quick walk around it because we were on our way to my garage where my friend had stored some furniture, just before...

Thanks Chuyler1, I've been monitoring this more closely for the past week and that's exactly what seems to be happening. It isn't very hilly where I live but this does seem to happen in top gear, if I drive up & down the very small hills in our area. The car doesn't change gear though - it...

Thanks for the advice. The car is still under warranty so I think I'll do that. I'm still puzzled though... once an automatic g/box gets out of 1st gear there's normally a direct link between the engine revs and the speed. In other words, twice the revs (in the same gear) gives twice the speed -...

Just over a month ago I bought a Mazda 6 TS, 2.0 litre automatic. I'm quite used to automatics so I was a bit surprised to find this rather strange problem.... Let's say I'm driving along at a constant speed (not using the cruise control). Let's say, 40 mph. Although my speedo reading is...

Thanks for the info. I've just tried a 2nd Mazda 6 TS (automatic again). Same year / same model but I must admit, the gearbox felt smoother on this 2nd one. As you know, the automatics have a 'psuedo manual' mode which the first dealer kept referring to as 'Tiptronic' - whereas the second dealer...

I've driven Renaults for as far back as I can remember - ending up with a 3.0 litre V6 auto called the Renault Safrane (I don't think they make it any more but it was the top-of-the-range Renault, in its day). Anyway, it's getting a bit long in the tooth now so I figured it was time to look for...
