I noticed than approx every 300 km (186 miles) my Mazda CX-5 2013 starts to consume significantly much more diesel (approx additional 4 litres per 100 km) during next 10-15 km (6-9 miles). This phenomenon may depend on driving habits, e.g. usually I make 40 mins drive to work and back and...

I just bought a used 2003 Mazda Protege5 and I'm trying to get it safety-ed for road use, but the wiring under the hood looks quite different from other cars what are the same model. Can anyone shed some light on how the wiring works? Attached are two pics: - the one with the RED bar is a pic...

Just wondering if anyone else has attempted driving a cx-7 on soft sand? I took mine on some soft sand and switched off the DSG (traction control) and stuck under 30 kph (otherwise it automatically switches itself back on), however after I get some momentum it seems like the DSG cuts in as my...

Its been a crazy past few months trying to get the Mazda Project Car finished and ready for the 2013 SEMA Show. Blood, sweat, and tears have gone into this build over the last 3 years and none of it would have been possible without the help from the guys over at Vertical Doors Inc and ShopSFM...

I had the clutch replaced this last spring/summer at a private repair shop that I've used a number of times. A couple days ago, my wife couldn't get the car started and thought the battery was dead. It wasn't. The clutch switch was not being actuated when the clutch pedal was pressed to the...

first of all, forgive my ignorance. I bought this new 2014 mazda CX5 GT and few months ago and was unhappy as it was giving only 22-23 mpg. Today only I figured out that I was using an online calculator which was in US gallon. I tried the imperial one and Voila..!!!! I am getting 28-29 MPG which...

Guys, my p5 is getting very oil hungry recently. I think my rings and/or seals are going, not sure im not really a mechanic. I just took it on a 250 mile trip and it drank through about a quart of oil. Its to the point now that every full tank of gas I use goes a quart of oil. Any advice you...

Hi there- My signal lights aren't working. Do you know where the flash relay is located? I found a website that says it's in a grey box under the driver's side dash. But, I do not see a grey box. Thank you, Ramona Murphy

Hey guys I've been looking for eyelids but I cant seem to track any down. All I find are the lids from like 05 to 07 or something like that. Would you know if it would fit the 2010 or where I would be able to find a pair

My car has developed idling issues over time and one day didn't start. I had to leave it with my brother a few hours away from home and want to get it worked on. The day it refused to start, the starter was turning over but the engine never fired up. I'm a little beyond the recommended tune-up...

So been gone for a month for work and finally got back to my baby this weekend. I had a question for you all which prob has been covered but saw different reviews online. I've had a very slight white smoke on cold starts, barely visible but its there. I do have a header in there which removed...

Hey all, I'm planning to sell my silver 185,000 mile protege5 to my cousin soon. I have a few OEM parts if anyone is interested. I will post later with the whole pic and username and all that goes with it, but wanted to see if anyone is interested to see if its worth this or not, otherwise I...

I know there is already a guide on how to replace the front rotors and brake pads, however, I was trying to find a guide for the rear. After paying the dealer about $400 to replace the front rotors and brake pads, I decided to do the rear ones myself. This is my first DIY project ever, so I...

Just wanted to ask you guys what you all have heard of price wise and how much you all have paid or sold your p5's for. I love my car and worked very hard on it but I think its time to pass it down. My aunt is thinking about buying it from me and giving it to my cousin, he's turning 16. I...

Hey so im not sure what engages and disengages the fans behind the radiator. But ive been gone for two weeks and noticed now that the fans dont run at all when the engine is on. Both of them turn on when i press the ac button, but I drove it on the highway for like 15 minutes and the fans...

Hey guys, I was wondering what a 2in drop would look like on a protege. Right now I'm sitting at stock height with all original struts etc. I've found some Megan racing springs cheap.They say its a 1.9in drop so I figured It'll be like 2in. Would it also be safe to drive on the stock struts...

Question, So I don't know why this might be exactly but for some reason when I turn on my HID lights at night my radio all of a sudden goes staticky as hell. I know its cause of the amperage draw because when the lights are off the radio stations work perfect! I do have a short antenna which...

Hey guys, new to the forum. I just bought a 2002 mazda 626 and it makes a clunk sound when I first start to accelerate. Also when I'm going 30mph+ if I lean my head out the window a little bit I can hear it making a very faint ticking sound that gets faster as I go more the 30mph. Also about the...

So for some reason both lights on the left side of my car, probably cause my autobody guy sucked after getting t-boned, but the small white turning light and the big orange unlock/lock light, went out... sorry I think there called the side marker light and not sure what the other one is...
