replacement

Hey Everyone, I recently removed the EGR Valve from my 2002 Mazda Protege5 and wanted to make a video that would help others through the process of removing it too. Below is a youtube video where I explain and guide any viewer through removing it. I made some terminology mistakes, but with that...

After noticing a small crack by the top hose fitting I will be buying a new radiator. I can get an ebay radiator for about 50$ but would rather get something that will be better made. So I have a few questions. What is the brand of radiator that is stock on the Protege (non MazdaSpeed model)...

There was minor damage to the front end of my car and I've replaced everything damaged in the engine bay (core radiator support), but I can't seem to find a replacement for the grill that was destroyed anywhere. It's the painted grill that has(had) the silver mazda emblem on it. I have a 2006...

I have recently bought a CX5 SE-L Lux and want to fit roof rails to it. The standard UK dealer option is a pair of cross roof rails, but I noticed a more suitable piece of kit on the Mazda forum. In the US and Canada it seems you can get a pair of aluminium rails which fit front to back. Then...

I just ordered a new OEM one on eBay and I am just wondering if anyone here attempted to replace theirs on their own. Just looked through 14 pages of search results but it seems that no one talked about the cable replacement. Is it easy to do? What can I expect if I do it myself. To save $$ I...

Just returned from the dealer where they replaced my 2013 CX-9 Transfer Case. They were responsive and it only took a few hours at no cost to me other than time spent taking care of the problem. I noticed burning plastic odor coming from the back of the engine compartment after driving the...

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

The Protege5 was smelling like gas so I thought my fuel pump housing was leaking again but it turned out that the bottom of the tank was "sweating" gas through some pinholes near the drivers side control arm. It was a tiny leak but it was dripping onto the shield and creating a lot of surface...

I'm working on a family friends 04 Mazda 3 with the 2.3L and the slushbox. I'm replacing the driveshaft because she broke it. Don't ask how she did but she managed to do it, woman drivers LOL jk. But anyways I sat on my back with a pry bar for about 5 hours and cant friggin' get it out to save...

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting here. I have a 2014 cx-5 GT and it got bumped and now has a broken tail light cover and broken rear reflector. I was looking at replacement parts on eBay and found full tail light assemblies for ~ 100$ and reflectors for ~ 30$. My question is: Is...

Hey guys, I need help putting in my aftermarket single din radio into the car. I have successfully removed the factory double din radio. I bought a single din radio and another single din pocket to replace the gap. Using the clips/brackets off the factory double din radio, I can't get it back...

Another trip to the dealer, another question to the forum. As I've mentioned in previous posts, I myself don't know much about this stuff, I don't know anyone that does, and I haven't been able to find a trusted mechanic in my area (Nyack, NY). Hence, I get everything done at the dealer, and...

I recently replaced the Double DIN stock radio with a single DIN radio. I used all the required adapters, soldered the adapter harness to the replacement radio plug and all went well. Until it just crapped out. With no explanation, the speakers are silent. There's full power to the deck (both...

Hey guys, I want to replace my shifter bushings, but I have not done it before and I don't have much experience working on cars. I was thinking about the ones from corksport (also wondering if anyone has a better solution or if these would be best) and the guide they showed seem very simple. Has...

Hey guys, My car overheated last week and I replaced the thermostat. No damage to the headgasket whatsoever. My car runs at normal temperature but I now have a small coolant leak somewhere that could be on the radiator. I don't think it's the hose because the bottom part of my radiator has...

Fairly new to Mazda's but has anyone ran into any issues replacing the axle on the passenger side? I have replaced axles on other cars before (Honda's, Toyota's, etc) but never a Mazda. Any special tools I may need besides a crow bar? I have a variety of tools and air tools for axle nut. Any...

Hello everyone! I'm getting a Metro Gray Manual Sport version and I would love to replace the stock radio unit and speakers. Are any of you planning on putting in an aftermarket stereo and/or speakers? I pre-ordered the new Pioneer DEH-80PRS and can't wait to swap it in when I receive it from...
