repair

Hello just wondering if anyone could help me out and say if theyve had a similar experience and what a reasonable quote for this repair would be! Thanks, Salty

I'm trying to decide which mechanic to trust about this sound I'm hearing in my 2013 Mazda5. One says wheel bearing, one says brakes. Are either of them right!? CLUES: The sound seems to be associated with pressing on the brakes, but it doesn't always happen. I do not feel any shimmy in the...

Hey got into a fender bender and want to try and get as much of this out myself, what should I use anyone else remove similar marks? I looked around and got mixed answers. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advanced

Hey guys, new to the Mazda forum, of course with a question to begin. My dad gifted my an '03 Mazda Proteg5 for my 18th birthday last year, but I didn't get to drive it very long because of a rod knock that quickly developed. I found that the car was leaking/burning oil at a very quick...

Hello everyone. Just replaced alternator in 2006 Mazda5. Since the online info world sucks for Mazda5 How-to's I figured I would post here for anyone wanting to do this. Very easy and straight forward. Minimal tools needed and should not take long for anyone that likes to work on things...

Hey, I own a 2002 Mazda Protege5. I need to repair my transmission. I can't afford a new transmission, nor do I need a whole new one yet. I have somebody who's going to help me to repair my transmission. I wanted a kit or a place to get parts for the job. I need Synchros, Dog Gears, and possibly...

Earlier this week I was driving normal and then i noticed the rpm going lower at a stop light. When the light turned green, i accelerated but the car was fighting it. It seemed like it didnt wanna accelerate. When I changed the gears it felt normal but as soon as i hit 2500rpm-3000rpm the car...

So my MSP was parked in my garage, as always, and with all of the crazy about of cold weather/snow NJ has been getting there has been a fair amount of ice accumulating on my rooftops. Come home from work yesterday to find out that a big chunk had fallen off the house and landed on my rear...

I thought it'd be fun for people to post a log of the work they've had to get done to their MS3 since they owned it. It'll help people get an idea of what ownership of one of these cars is like, and help people find other people who have had to do similar repairs. Please don't include things...

Hey all - I've got my grandma's 1990 626 GT (I'm the second owner, cool grandma to have a black turbo-charged hatchback!) - It got me from Virginia to California and around for a while, and is having trouble starting now. It's only got 164k miles on it, and I love the car, sentimentally and on...

Can someone please provide me with a link to download a free (truly free) repair manual for a 1998 Mazda Protege? Thank you in advance.

After leaving the dealership with a quote of 750, I am determined to fix this my self. I went to O'reileys and bought an oil cooler kit for $199. Now I have not been able to find anything that shows me exactly where the oil cooler is but i have come to the conclusion that is right above the...

So i know i am probably gonna end up having to get it checked out at a shop but i was just wandering if anyone else has had a problem with coolant boiling in the overflow container. I just changed the thermostat, and it still did the same thing it did before i changed it, with the coolant...

Hi everyone - After spending days visiting my local Best Buy, the Mazda Service/Repair Centre in Burnaby, and a local MAC Store, I have discovered that all Miatas with factory installed IPHONE adapters (using a 3G phone -S or otherwise) will suddenly not be able to listen to music when...

how bad do you think this is? The rust at the emblems will be an easy fix though (emblems will be permanently removed). 120,xxx miles on it btw.

Hey guys, Just pulling apart the card to have a look at the problem. After doing everything I thought needed being done the head still won't come off. Here are the pictures of what I have done so far. Any help would be appreciated. Try keep it a little detailed as I am not the greatest...

Looking for a new place in the Boulder area to have maintenance done for our Mazda 5. We've used Sil Terhar in Broomfield, but are looking for an alternative. Independent shop is fine.

Hi, my car has a bit of a rough idle once it settles down after a cold start. Nothing too bad, but it's definitely not smooth. I cleaned the EGR valve a little while back and that helped a bit, but it still seems like it coughs a bit. I heard that cleaning the IAC valve would help with the...
