  • Mazda swallows at exactly 3000 revolutions

    Hi! I hope I get a few tips which solves the problem because the workshop couldn’t help me. Auto: Mazda 3 BK 2.0 Suction engine Built 2008 I have a swallowing of the engine at quite exactly 3000 revolutions in case of easy acceleration, but then it’s also immediately gone away, everything is normal before that. However, when passing through the accelerator, this doesn’t occur! The strongest is in the 2nd and 3rd gears, it only comes from time to time during the day, but as soon as there is no 8 is actually going to be every time! Gas is electronic. Maybe it would still be important to mention that I have installed a subwoofer if it has something to do with the electronics. New was made on suspicion: -Zündkerzen -Drosselklappe was freshly cleaned this had but also few black splashes -New air filter Thanks in advance Lg

  • When does the purchase car make sense?

    Good morning, have my Mazda 3 Fb Skyactive-x 2.0 M-Hybrid EZ 02/20 20,000km mileage, I-activesense, BOSE sound system, design package, now since c.a. 70 days on Mobile.de / Classifieds / Cars cout etc but did not have a single interested despite premium ads. The car has a repair accident damage, does it possibly have something to do with it? Reperature costs were around the 3000€ At a Mazda dealer I would get almost 1800€ and at WKDA yesterday I have an offer over 18 500€ received. New price was 26700€ due to cash payment and commercial purchase. Have no experience regarding car sales, therefore I wanted to listen here what you think. Car is registered but I don’t drive with it anymore. How will the value loss be in the next weeks / months? How will the offer of WKDA develop in the next time? Does the waiting generally pay or rather take the WKDA offer with you? What do you think about private for a price? Thank you and greetings, Jonathan

  • 2014 Mazda 3 Skyaktiv-D 150ps recommended?

    Hey, I’m interested in the above-mentioned vehicle. I’d be interested in your opinions about the car. Especially with regard to reliability and longevity. I’ve already sniffed around here in the forum, but it’s usually only the dissatisfied people report in a forum and 90% happily drives around What are there for weak spots? Known diseases? Things you should pay special attention to when buying used goods? Greeting and thank you

  • Hupe without warning – by what?

    Hello Finally I came into a few situations where I had to press the horn to defuse a dangerous situation. The problem: the horn of the BM sounds somehow as if it was built for a vehicle between Smart and Mofa. You go on the horn, but warning effect remains – you look rather confused “ok where is the circus?”. So I want to replace the horn now. The problem is: with what? Tuning horns with multi-sound and super-sound is overkill, it should simply after “da hupt a car”. To make understand what I mean: hooves can be associated with the vehicles based on their sound image: truck fanfares road cruiser tuning boxes (where the engine is louder anyway than the horn) SUV car smallest car (Smart, Twingo) motorcycle scooter mofa/bicycle-genöns. My BM sounds somewhere between scooter and motorcycle. Who hears that completely legitimately last thinking of “da hupt ein Auto”. My plan was now that I had a horn on the bay (so bass and tweeter) ) shoot, so that my Mazda sounds like a car. Difficulty: for everything there are videos, only unfortunately not for horn sounds. Does someone have a tip for a horn that is NOT covered for a car like the Mazda 3, but also does not arouse false associations? => If e.g. n Smombie runs in front of the car (or n cyclist turns to left traffic etc) and I get full braking on the horn, I don’t want to look out for (other) bicycles, but just know “Attention A uto, just get out of here”

  • Reliability Mazda 3

    Hello everybody, we have a change to Mazda in January. It will be our first Mazda. It will be changed from an Audi Q3 2.0 170hp to the new Mazda 3 with either 122hp or 150hp. Have we looked at the car yesterday and will make the days a test drive. The materials and even the entire interior for the price, simply the hammer. But what is the reliability at Mazda? Have now read on the Internet several times that the new models are often strikingly already with the r first HU have problems with suspension components? Is that true? The Audi once had a defect in the water pump in 8 years, costing about 400€, that’s it. Can you expect the same reliability at Mazda? Thank you in advance!

  • Motor gets cold while driving – thermostat works?

    After my current daily runs again and I am on vacation, I have once recovered my thermostat and it seems to work perfectly in the cooking pot, although everything speaks for the fact that it has to clamp open. So, although no touch sample on the hoses made, but here the problem picture – the engine (B6 SOHC) is quickly warm in the stand, display is made nau between C and H. – If you drive now, the temperature drops depending on how fast and how cold it is outside – the faster, the colder (driving wind). I don’t know what the display range is from the instrument, on the highway it sometimes goes back to under the C-marker – Depending on the engine temperature increased speed, already often over 1300 rpm after highway ride. – Heating leaves to wishes – fuel consumption I can’t judge, because I bought the defect so. What closes That the indicator goes, because it rises up to half, when it shows cold, the heating is cold and the motor rotates more; if that fits also the temperature generator should work accordingly and the thermostat is simply defective and cold cooling water hunts through the cooler. My golf, on the other hand, always reads 90°C, unless you shoot the heating on maximum, while you tuck along the country road with 70, only then it actually goes direction 70. The thermostat is z u, closes and opens in the pot at 88°C, the ball valve moves freely. So everything actually top. So now the question arises, what is it then…

  • huming in the interior Mazda 3

    Hello all, I had bought a 3 mazda in May of this year, with 140000 kilometers now. I noticed a few times that there are certain vibrations / or hums. Comes to the right of the console (as far as I can hear that. Steering wheel and switches do not vibrate. It is not always. Yesterday evening for example not already in the morning. It usually occurs when I speed up and as soon as I take the gas away. I still have a used car warranty. I would like to have in some opinions, someone should have had the problem already. Greetings

  • Mazda 3 of 2018: What number does security have luggage compartment lighting?

    Hello, drive the car for 4 weeks and look for the number of the security of the bakery room lighting. The small 5 watt lamp is fine, there is no electricity at the open tailgate. The luggage room lighting is not listed in the 731 pages strong operating instructions. An Unding. Mazda Germany (Leverkusen) can also not name the security and refers to the contract workshops. Mail traffic can be presented. I then have it at the four workshops in question no result. There is no information on the telephone or you must not connect to the workshop etc. Of course there are no calls back. I would have to make an appointment. This is only available in three to four weeks and the “activity is chargeable”. Another thing: according to FIN, it is a “3MZBN”.

  • Problems with motor electronics

    Good morning motor-talk community, for about a week I have had a problem with my Mazda 3 (BL) year 2009 2.0 DISI (151 hp) with start-stop automatic. During the ride the Mazda suddenly went out in a left turn at about 10-15 km/h and the pointers for speed and speed have been knocked out for a short time and then dropped to 0. I could not start the Mazda and the board computer is constantly up and down. All display elements have w After a conversation with my Mazda dealer I completely landed the two batteries and installed them again. He suspected empty batteries, which I could confirm at the beginning, but that was not the solution of the problem. The symptoms are at the moment as follows: 1st scenario: Car can sometimes not be opened with the radio remote control. Then the A flicker when starting up. After 2-3 attempts it starts and drives without problems. During the ride there are no difficulties and everything works after my estimation. After approx. 40 km drive no abnormalities can be noticed. 2nd scenario: There is unfortunately another scenario. Then the car can be opened without problems with the radio remote control. If I use the Mazda at the It also starts immediately and you can start immediately. However, after about 1-2 km the board computer fails and always tries to restart. The power steering fails again and again. All indicators flicker then all the time. Headlights go out again and again when I give gas. If I turn off the Mazda then and want to start again exactly what happens in the first time. As soon as it runs again, however, you can drive without any problems and there are no abnormalities. The batteries have been reinstalled on 05.2017 and are original Mazda batteries. I have now searched for different amounts for about a week and cannot find a solution. Did any of you have similar problems and happen to know the solution? Greeting Eugen

  • Inspection intervals

    Hello, my wife is since yesterday proud owner of a Mazda 3 BK 1.6 FLH with automatic. The car is with its 14 years of age still top in shot (only outside 2-3 small traces of usage, but not worth mentioning). The car comes from second hand and was by 2015 by the first owner always check-booked. The second owner (17/18 years, first car) has maintained the car optically so far and also the change of all liquids always durc This is what I would like to do now (let) and ask for your advice, which is exactly what happens now at approx.130000km. Immediately I would have said: Oil change interior filter air filter spark plugs climate maintenance (he has used in between only such a ‘hygiene can’ from Nigrin) Where I am now unsure: transmission oil gasoline / fuel filter The brake fluid was last made 04/2017. vtl. a public “Sheet” of Mazda for the intervals? Thanks in advance and many greetings Marcel
