  • Fuel-saving driving

    Hello, today the discussion arose between my mother and me, how one can drive with her Mazda 3 (104 HP) sprite-saving. Her theory: Drive up to 2100 rpm in the corresponding gear (e.g. 35-60 in the 3rd gear) then switch. My theory: From 1500 rpm already switch to the next higher gear (independent of the speed, no acceleration necessary) edit: When I turn up early on my side, the motor rolls something, as if it wants to catch air, but does not stutter at all I would be pleased to learn about this clarity, because the topic of fuel saving is already quite a bit grievous.

  • Climate too weakly dimensioned?

    Hello people! I have a question: I had my air conditioner refilled yesterday (Mazda 626 Ditd, 101PS, Bj98, Mazda Schmitt Kaiserslautern) because it was no longer working. In the workshop contrast agents were filled and a leak was found in some line. This was renewed and the system was then refilled. The mechanic told me that the system was running perfectly. In my opinion, it cooled too weakly. I once held a thermometer at the cooling openings: 13°C. Is I drove yesterday at 23°C outside temperature and covered sky about 65 km. Internal temperature in the car: 25°C! Can that be? The real question: Is the air conditioning defective or just undersized? If it is defective, what can it be?

  • Oil change

    who of you has made a change of oil with the new car after 2500km? my dealer said it would be better but I am skeptical if this is necessary today, now I have 900 km away and must on Thursday 200 km on the highway. can you drive there already really full gas or should you spare a little bit of the engine at 900km?

  • Mazda 323F: Retrofit daytime running light?

    Hello together, I would like to ask myself about the daytime driving light, which will probably be mandatory from 01.01.07. Now I am not thrilled about having to drive with normal passing light. I would rather have a solution with only burning daytime driving lights. So without rear light ect. My Mazda dealer can not help me (yet?) there. So I thought to ask once Mazda Germany. I got the following answer back: Dear Mr. xxx, thank you for your email from the 1st ma This year. On your request we regret to inform you that the original Mazda accessories are not available for retrofitting to day running light. If you have any further questions or suggestions, you also have the opportunity to reach us by phone. The Mazda Customer Information Centre is at your disposal on weekdays from 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m. We thank you for your interest in Mazda. Sincerely, MAZDA MOTORS (GERMANY) GMBH My question now: Does anyone have an idea for retrofitting? Or should I wait a bit anyway, because there will probably still be a lot of developments in the course of this year..? Thank you and greetings

  • Hello, I’m the new one and I’m here more often now !! ;o)

    Hello, since I’ve been reading here for quite a while (I’ve been active in the Opel forum until now) and I got a lot of information here, I bought a Mazda Xedos 6 2.0 V6 today. After the first exit today I have to say that I don’t regret the purchase !! The Xedi is a great car !!! Well I just wanted to tell you this because I am looking forward to the new car, like a small child. I hope that I get a lot more information from you here so that I can bite the Xedi I noticed today on the BAB that the cruise control only works up to approx. 165 km/h. I am over it and turn on the cruise control, then the speed falls back to the said 165. Is the normal ?? Since the previous owner was an older master, he probably didn’t put much emphasis on the radio. So I probably have the simplest cassette radio in it, which gave the equipment list. Has any of you eventuel l the plug assignment so that I can install a reasonable radio ?? Many thanks to you already in advance !!!

  • Japanese blacksmithing makes good………

    Brake discs ! As with the traditional well-known blacksmith’s art of the known Samuraic values for centuries … ..soooo the brake discs of the 323 F were manufactured !!!! Due to many folds of the excellent steel and this traditional blacksmith’s art excellent brake discs in the production … the approx. 27tkm … I emphasize 27 000 km ! ! ! hold see the photo !!!!!!!! No ,no all nonsense since the Japse … one knows their geological problems (vulcanis Here, too, the brake discs are natural made of basalt-like with metal-vaporated volcanic ash. In any case, you can choose a possibility.

  • Adventure Car Compare Brera/407/RX-8

    Just these three sport coupés were compared. Mazda, just followed by Peugeot and then far behind Alfa, won. The conclusion was that the RX-8 as well as 407 are balanced athletes, although the Mazda performance was even better. The 407 is not quite to be used as 2+2 seats, the Alfa at all. In general, the Brera was once again perceived as too spongy with relatively emotional steering and too heavy and head-heavy. Then the test car from ALfa had a few flaws, if you hit the passenger door, the window (electric window lifter) half went down. And an oil consumption from 2l to 270km, but Alfa didn’t want to take a position yet and examined the car and suspected an engine damage. At the end the Mazda won because of its “uniqueness” Among the shows I find adventure car still best. On Sat1 that only brings Trashiges, AutoMotorSport T V brings everything, only no reasonable tests and engine vision tests only convertibles and high-hp athletes.

  • Rockfall!! –> Carglass??

    Hello together, I got a stone on the highway yesterday, which led to a crack in the windshield 🙁 Since the crack continues to grow unstoppably, I need a new windshield. I had my last windscreen change carried out at “Carglass”! After long telephone calls and after a wrongly ordered windshield that worked then too! But since then I have always heard of bad experiences with this company. en??? Mazda dealer? What are your experiences? Greetings Markus

  • 323 F Ba Loss of power at approx. 2000 rpm

    Hi, I love my 323F (10/95; approx. 100000 km; 1.5l) yes above all, but for a few months now he has the problem, that as soon as I switch into a new gear and give good gas he stops for a moment, but then it goes on quite normally. But if I give very little gas it is quite normal. * Do you think something about it?* I was already in the workshop, but the clutch is not that this might slip or something. Thank you already in advance, Lucky182
