Just sharing this as I noticed I wasn't the only one with this smelly issue. A couple of months ago I noticed a strong smell of petrol outside, and sometime inside, after a fill up. It would slowly dissipate as the tank emptied, but always came back after a fill up. My first searches all...

These are the only wear and tear that I have noticed in my 2017. A modest sized bottom can stretch out the material after enough miles. 😅 I started using a protective cover for the seat bottom after 150K miles. The seat back is intact because it doesn't have to hold my weight. I have a bottle...

I tried to replace the horn today but failed. I wasn't able to remove the front bumper so I reached in from the grill slats and top trim. After getting the stock horn out, I realized that I need a few more components to install the Hella Horns. After putting the stock horn back, it wouldn't...

It occurred to me yesterday that I could pry at the seam of the filter with a flathead as I did with the pan. Once I had an opening on the smaller end of the filter, I ran the screwdriver sideways down the gap to open up the rest. Some brittle plastic pieces flew out so I should have worn eye...

The first fluid drain/fill was at 153K miles. Two more rounds of drain/fill were done before 155K miles. Decided to replace the filter and reseal the pan because there was a leak from the corner seam. What took me the longest was to scrape off the pink RTV residue from the transmission and pan...

My Mazda 2016 CX-3 1.5L Diesel has several problems: Knocking (a ticking sound) when pressing the accelerator and brief white smoke from the exhaust during startup. Injector adaptation temporarily helps, but the issues return after about 30 km. The DPF and EGR systems were recently removed. The...

Good morning, I'm not mechanically inclined but my dad is ...I'm trying to figure this out before I bring it to his attention. So, today I started my car with my remote start (winter is coming, I wanted to make sure it still worked). Started fine, drove to work and parked, turned my car off...

I have a 2020 cx3 and once the engine is warm I have a repetitive hissing noise where my air intake enters the intake manifold. Is this a normal sound for a Mazda engine? Secondly once I shut off my car, about a second later I get an audible "swoosh" of what sounds like pressure being released...
