Something wonderful occurred in my titanium gray 2004 Mazda3 5-door 5-speed today: http://twitpic.com/5k4lf Yep, 100,000 miles, and I got the car in April of 2004 new so that's almost 20,000 miles a year. Otherwise, the car has held up remarkably well over the years... the only new parts...

Greetings, I bought my 2004 Maz3 5-door in March of '04... and after two Hotlanta summers, it appears that the constant heat-cool of black plastic has caused a longitudinal stress-crack right around that nipple in the center of the dashboard right next to the windshield. Over the months, the...

Anyone wanna help me play armchair code-reader? Yesterday, after getting the Mazda3 5-door washed, I was coming back from the grocery store and got a late christmas present: a solid Check-engine-light. As far as I can tell: here are the symptoms: - Rough warm idle: When I come to a stop...

So, I had my car at the dealership for the oil change (I had a coupon... what!?) and figured I would ask them about the rhythmic ticking coming from the engine compartment. The tick itself was metallic, and increased speed with the RPM.. so I thought it was a sticky valve or something. (It was...

Basically, I have gotten a few nasty horizontl scratches on the passenger side (places like the glovebox door and kickpanel) when metal things (shoebuckles, some cabinetry we were moving) rubbed up against it. Anyone have any reccomendations for hiding/buffing the scratch? What seems to make...

More pics and an article from VW Vortex Link to description What are your thoughts? I've always thought of the Maz3 as a "Jetta killer". now it looks like VW is trying to make their jetta a "bmw 3/5 series killer". I'm not sure whether it'll be successful as VW wants it to be...

or... make sure you have some sort of bulk tape eraser with you... Bunch of VW/Audi kiddies driving insanely (I used to own a little green golf) and basically making an evidence record of it...

I pulled this from a thread about manumatic tranny... never got a reply and still wondering about different people feel about engine breaking... Namely because I don't want to keep doing it if it hurts my car... but I never really thought it would hurt my car and figured it was one of the perks...

Allo.... It's the post birthday oil change at roswell mazda... (Yay hiptop). I'll post later... Looks like picking the friday of memorial day weekend might have been a bad idea

http://www.mazda6tech.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=33 That's a link posted here earlier that describes all of the induction technologies employed on the 2.3 liter mazda engine in the mazda 6 It seems that in my 3s wagon I have VVT (variable valve timing)...

It seems like the mazda 3 has one of the "low washer fluid" idiot lights that tells you when your washer fluid is almost empty. At least I remember reading about such a light in the manual... however yesterday I managed to get the tank bone dry and nothing came on... have any of you seen the...

So, I had gotten my '99 VW golf under the worst of conditions: It was a first model year (the MKIV) body style, guaranteeing all sorts of cheap plastic crap to break within 3 years (and it did!). It was a car I inherited and I picked it up in 2001 with 29,900 miles in Ohio. In driving it back to...
