Are you talking about your belts? If you are, and you are under 20000km, go to the dealer and they will tighten them at no charge.

Yep, sorry for my bad english...because my dealer is far away... Is it easy???

yes and no.... most likely it is your alternator belt. You have to lose the alternator by two bolts, then just adjust the tension. I will upload a picture for you... the problem is getting at one bolt.... for me anyway.....

i uploaded 2 files for you in zip format. These should give you enough info on how to do it... dont worry about actually testing the tension... do it tight enough and you should be fine.

For some reason my file is not atatching... i will try again later today... if you want, if you have MSN messenger, give me your hotmail address and i can upload to you the Mazda service manual. It has detailed step by step instructions on how to fix everything in your car.

PM me with your address. (its a 40 MB file.. to big for email, or i can just send you the one section..... its up to you)
