    2012 Mazda5 floor mat

    Hi, I have a 2012 Mazda5 and want to order the Weathertech DigitalFit floor mats. They don't list the 2012 model yet. Can someone knows if the new Mazda5 has the exact same mat as before? I wonder if I can order the 2010 floor mat.

    Smoke in exhaust while idling

    I went to the dealer and they did see the smoke. What their procedure says is to change the oil for synthetic and wait for a new PCV valve that Mazda is working on. Until then, the oil change will be free. Changing the oil does not completely stop the smoke, it's just a temporary fix.

    Smoke in exhaust while idling

    My 2007 stock Speed3 started smoking last Wednesday for the first time. It's getting more frequent. I have 44K miles on it. I'll take it first to the dealership, they usually fix the problems I have. If not, does that PTP part works for stock engines or just help the ones with aftermarket downpipes?

    Squeaks and Clunks

    Heres my story: I have a stock 2007 Mazdaspeed3 with 38K miles. For the last year, I started having issues with my suspension. It started as light squeak noises from the front right corner over small bumps. I reported this to the dealership on two occasions during my regular service but they...

    Oil near the A-arm???

    I had my right rear shock replace under warranty two months ago. It was leaking. Today my two front struts were replaced. 37k miles on them and they are completely done. No leak, but the front end sounded and felt loose. It was under warranty too. It's still sounds a bit loose over bumps, the...

    MS3 winter wheel options - help

    I have 17" steel rims listed for the regular Mazda3 (they have the correct offset) with 215/50-17 Toyo Observe Garit KX. They are good. After two winters and 15k miles on them, they look new. The tire shop gave me the Mazdaspeed6 17" steel rims to begin. The offset was 5mm wrong and I had...

    Stock Suspension Squeeks-Normal?

    My car started doing that noise after the first year. It makes me feel like I'm driving a cheap car. I may be crazy, but it seems to stop when I slightly apply the brakes. I was thinking it could be related to the pads.

    Variable Valve Timing Actuator

    I took the Speed3 to the dealership today for the 25K service. I asked them to see if they could fix the valve noise I have on startup. Luckily for me, they fixed the problem by replacing the VVT Actuator as specified in this bulletin...

    squeeking

    So, someone got a clear answer on the cause of that coin/ping sound from the front suspension? I've been hearing that noise over bumps and cracks for some weeks. It's getting worst and consistent now. I'm due for a service in 1500 miles, it can wait until that time I beleive.

    ECU reflash at Mazda

    I was surprised when I read this thread. It explains the first syndrome I experienced the weekend before my last service on April 1st: "Rough idle, stall, and/or hesitation under cold conditions". I ask the tech to see why the engine stops twice after 5 seconds on idling. The car was rough to...
