Category: Mazda 3 & Mazda 323 Forum

Hello dear forum community, I would like to take the opportunity and introduce myself to the Mazda3 forum: Hot Florian, am 26 years old and come from the beautiful Austria. The last 4 years brought me a VW ecoup! from A to B. He is a loyal companion and for about 3.50 € fuel costs on 100km probably one of the most economical cars on the market at present. Unfortunately, the supply quality/number of tank possibilities in recent years has not improved significantly, the incident in September 2016 (Explosion VW Touran during gas refuelling) even leads for a short time to the complete sales stop (also in Austria). All this compulsion to look for an alternative, the Mazda3 I liked very much at the show in 2013. Since the announcement of the facelift I have dealt more intensively with this car and finally completed a test drive last week. I was enthusiastic and afterwards together with the my wish-to-drive g configured: Mazda3 Sport Revolution G120 White Mica (25D) Navigation With the first offer I then made myself smart online and contacted other dealers. Finally, my dealer in the neighboring town met me so far that I signed the purchase contract today. Now I have to wait until the end of July, until my new vehicle is delivered… I am looking forward to a lively exchange with you!

Just two and a half weeks I have now my new BN and just I had the first accident … almost half self-inflicted I carried out a somewhat exaggerated evasive maneuver in front of a (possibly drunken) cyclist who led me with both wheels of the driver’s side at about 35 km/h at a rather sharp angle over a traffic island with 90°-bar-stone edge, which is located in the middle of a kinking front road. I am certainly already felt 5000 I drove past this place once, without ever having a problem. Today of all times and especially with a car, which has not yet 2000 km on the clock … I could really roar with rage. The result: both rims are over and both tires are flat. Fortunately, there is no visible damage to the thresholdr, underbody and the front or rear apron, because the ground clearance of the car was probably still sufficient. I will definitely have 2 new rims and 2 new tires need, and certainly also the axle geometry must be tested and adjusted if necessary, if possible. Question: does anyone have experience with how solid the chassis of the BM/BN is designed? Do I have to expect that other parts have passed away during the action?

I can plug in a USB stick at my dealer and play around, but some things remain unclear. Does anyone have a Mazda3 2017 and use a USB stick? What size (GB) does the USB stick have? Will the USB stick be re-readed after each start? It is also played by a 128GB stick, but that takes 5-10 minutes until what is played. Of course, this is useless. Can you deactivate the re-reading after each start? Collects the MZD data from the USB stick until all op. with another USB stick there were more options, ie it could be that options come in after some time? Looking forward to every info!

Hello Together, ..bin from the Golf V Forum ‘overrun’ – since the 05.01.2015 I drive a Mazda 3. Have you had experience with the MZD Connect? I have not yet managed to go online with my Mazda 3 via a Wi-Fi hotspot (tethering). I am interested in the online data / services, such as weather data or fuel prices, for the Navi. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Although my Mazda recognizes the WLAN or the WLAN hotspot, when connecting I get a Network error. Even with unprotected WLAN (without password) it doesn’t work – that’s the same problem. Do I do something wrong or is the function generally somewhat problematic? A USB-tethering or Bluetooth-tethering does not work either. Is it possible on the mobile phone? However, the pairing via Bluetooth (telephoning via hands-free system, music, SMS etc.) works perfectly. Greetings!

Hello, I have a question, and I have a surrising sound with my Mazda 323 FBJ which only occurs at 80kmh. I had read once, that you can determine at low speeds whether a wheel bearing is defective. How do I determine exactly if it is really the wheel bearing and if so which side. Because it is not cheap. A bearing for the rear costs with hub almost 50€ at Ebay and approx. 80-100€ at the friendly Mazda dealer. If then I do the ga nze pairwise, but I would be even more interested if it really are wheel bearings. It is only to be heard at higher speeds and only then. Has nothing to do with motor or something. So idle at 100kmh the noise is still there. But maybe it is also due to a clattering or loose cunt part where the wind goes through and causes a surrative noise. With a 12 year old car a lot can happen.

With my Mazda 323f BJ, the ABS and TCS On/Off lights have been glowing for some time now. Since it doesn’t seem to be a wobble contact, I’ve been researching the Internet. Here I’ve read about the problem a few times, only it was a little different symptoms with the other people. So I created a new topic. I tested the ABS once with a brake test and it worked there definitely. I had the TCS feeling that it didn’t work. But it was just a vllt. because I don’t know whether it’s off or off, because both lights are on. But of course it can’t be possible. Can you help me or give me advice?

Hello dear members, I have a question because you don’t find so much about it. Play with the thought of buying a Mazda 3 (kodo design) needed and would like to know if the G120 or the G165 is running more than daily car. Although I drive more than 30,000km a year I still want to drive a gasoline truck that is no problem for me. I only found a forum where it was discussed so far and there was too much opinion. To the info I drive hardly any city more country roads with much 100s and 1-2 times a week also highway. Is the G165 or the G120 better suited for me? Thanks for your answers

Hey, I’ve always had the feeling recently that when I’m still in the 3rd course and then start a certain climb, the car starts to stutter slightly… I didn’t think anything about it because I thought that it’s pretty sensitive to low speed… but it got worse, so I suddenly had to stutter at noon (about 28c in the shade) while riding uphill and the car didn’t want to speed up anymore… Luckily, there were new ones on the way anyway. The problem was still there… then drove home with a bad feeling … then saw that the Lufi box was not very dense, but not really open so then on occasion also sucked out the box. Since the bonnet was already open anyway, I thought, look at the spark plugs at once, yes well I thought they were a little rough black for my mack, but then found such comparison pictures in the net and they looked quite normal worn out and actually still in good condition. By the way, which spark plugs belong to the in the 323f BA 1,9l 114ps? What I somehow fear is that the Lambda probe is. Oh yes the exhaust (end pot), sounds like a tractor and wobbles quite in the stand… Would be very grateful for any helpful answer and apologize for any spelling errors the gach t were or should still be coming

Hi, I’m driving Mazda 3 BM 120PS and wanted to ask around what you paid for insurance and if you have a contribution increase next year. I’m with Huk-Coburg and currently pay almost 70euro in the month all-round at 55%. Today came a letter that is due at the turn of the year an amount increase of 20Euro mtl. As reason give the to the grade at Mazda 3 the accident costs increased. Can anyone understand this? And has one of you from his insurance also such a Writing is also available with other insurance companies? I mean, they can’t be quite close, that’s almost 30% more.

meal community, since next year a new car purchase is due, I drove today to the local mazda dealer and let the brand new mazda3 influence me. everything in all not intoxicating the door handles seem very fragile from the feeling, when closing the doors a blind recognizes immediately, this is an asiatian, the interior haptic is certainly better compared to the previous one, however is partly still used joghurt cup plastic, e.g. with the the tapo and speedometers are difficult to read the exterior mirrors on the doors are oversized, do not match the overall concept of the vehicle and are therefore ugly. the wide overhang with the exhibited light throws reminds of a snake head when viewed sideways. the c column is too large in the rear area, so that you can skin the head when you get in. in the interior you have a feeling of jamming. also the prices are not necessarily a a compact all-world car that does not appear in design or haptic and price postiv. others can do that better.
