Category: Mazda 6 & Mazda 626 Forum

Hello you love. I’m new here and I really need a few tips. My old car unfortunately didn’t pass the TÜV and needs a new one. I love it with a Mazda 626, BJ 1999, Kombi with 170,000 km. Supposedly it’s only 2 car holders and the TÜV was made fresh. Unfortunately it looks like I have to go alone to look at the car. I used to drive a Mazda 323 from 1989 and found the car great. (Should then be only a transitional car – I’m looking forward to seeing the car.) The 626 is so interesting for me, because it can pull a lot. Is that true? What does it cost to have an AHK retrofitted? What do I have to pay attention to when looking at it? Rust on the wheelrails? Clutch? Brakes at the rear? Any cuffs doer like this? I have a very little idea and no one can come along because the date was created so spontaneously. Are these too many kilometers? How long do you have to travel? My kid had 230,000 on the clock at the time, the engine was running absolutely great. And I had no rust problems with the 323 either. Can anyone give me good tips? I would be super grateful to you!!! LG Miss K.

Hello, I just want to share my experiences (and also ask a few things). I drive a Mazda 6, 2005 year, 2.0L with 141 hp. I had the car converted last year at the km-level from 102,000 to autogas. was installed a Prinsystem with flashlube (installation cost: 2,500 euros). I know (and also knew before) that with this model there are sometimes problems with the valves etc. so I do not drive in autogas operation over approx. 140km/h (approx. 4000 rpm) and avoid fully after 10,000 km (i.e. 112.000 km) I had the valve play checked on the advice of my changer at Mazda. according to Mazda everything was in order, nothing had to be set (this statement of course I have to trust). after 20,000 km (i.e. 122.000) the gas filter was changed and the gas system was checked: everything was in order. now I was at 135,000 km, i.e. I drove 33,000 km with gas. the engine is running perfectly, it is there are no problems. the gas consumption is about 10 liters. insofar I am fully satisfied with the gas system (in my beloved Mazda6)! 1. Question: when should I have the valves checked again? 2. Question: the inspection of the valves cost almost 300 euro at Mazda. (I was explained that this model is quite expensive and therefore relatively much working time). is this a normal (mazda) price? can I check the valves elsewhere and if necessary a 3.Question: what about spark plugs? should they be changed more often than in petrol operation? thank you and nice greeting!

Hello, drive a Mazda 6 GY diesel with 100 kw, BJ 11/2004 and nearly 108000 km on the clock. Now to my problem, for about a week I hear as soon as the engine is warm a quiet rattling noise out of the engine room. Sometimes it disappears and comes back, in front of everyone in the lower speed range and in the stationary gas at the traffic light it can really annoy. Have it today quite well located and I think it comes from the vicinity of the Lima and the timing belt. Someone an idea or a similar it already had a problem? It was changed 3 weeks ago the starter but I would exclude it as a source of error. Thank you very much in advance for all the answers. MfG Mike

Hello, after my little car now has 206.000 on the clock, I want to get a bigger car and love it with a Mazda 6. Now my question: I have pulled 2 offers into the short choice, both vehicles year 2003, both Sport 2.0 CD Exclusive, one has 89, the other 100 KW; the first has a green badge, the second does not?! Of one retrofit is mentioned at the first but nothing! Can this be that one model meets Euronorm 4 and the other no more r 3? I prefer the 2nd vehicle, but definitely need a car with a green plate, what would a retrofit cost about? I also happened to read that you have to have the catalyst changed in addition to the retrofitting for vehicles older than 5 years and/or a mileage over 80,000 km, can you confirm this and what is still to happen? Unfortunately I found no answer here in the forum and am not particularly autoversed ;=) K urze Question on the edge: Is the KP for a Mazda 6 year 2003, 140,000 km in the amount of 4,200/4,500 € (both accident-free, 2nd hand, 8-fold tire…) ok?

Hello to everyone!!!I got a letter a few days ago that I should get to an exchange because of leaky charging air cooler.Was today in a Mazda workshop to check it out.Before the check the master said to me it would be routine and they would not have had a defective charging air cooler until now.After the check he came then and I thought I was the first one who has a crack or several small cracks and oils.Now my question.Has this defect done with the performance of the car,as I d The Mazda workshop of my trust, where I have always gone, did not find it, although the wind blows in the back of the bike runs and on three doors.The Mazda workshop of my trust, where I have always gone, did not notice that I had the feeling for some time that it is not going as much as I bought it at the beginning.And can there be a consequential damage that the engine or the turbo gets a problem? To explain, today was in another Mazda workshop, since I moved recently and they have luckily determined this now and want to eliminate the rust on Kulanz.Just so much to another endless story “Mazda 6 und Rost” Greeting Olli!!!

Good day dear community, I was driven into a back door a few days ago. I have already informed myself a little bit and there is a lot of information on which I can commission an expert only in case of damage that is higher than 750. What level of damage can I expect? My 626 sign is gone and the suitcase is pressed on the left side. from the inside are all screws away from the seal.

Huhu dear Mazda community, since I am now also a proud owner of a Mazda’s 626 GF 2.0 Exclusive, now a few questions arise for me. On the one hand I have read somewhere that some Mazda motors are so-called “freerunners”, my question is now also true to mine? My Mazda is no longer the youngest (BJ 2001) and has just bought down 74TKM (with 72TKM). Normally you should change the timing belt according to the instructions all 90TKM. But now the tooth is Should I change it sooner?! Must say that car runs perfectly and I am very satisfied with the purchase because I bought it for a very good price and I have heard only good about the stamina of this row as long as it is maintained. And until now this specimen has been well maintained and that should stay that way, so that it still gives me a lot of joy. By the way, is my first car ;D Greetings kaLtura

Moin I have a problem with my lighting since the last switch off of the vehicle. Speedometer light / taillight / fog lamp / fog lamp / standing light are without function. I checked the fuse in the engine compartment and in the driver’s cabin, they are all intact. The passing beam and driving beam work problemlessly also the interior lighting, turn signals, brake, radio are not affected. That makes me conclude the speedometer/nebula / backlight / standing light are related. If I the light on level 1 (standlight) is a click also to hear in the engine compartment, so the relay will probably switch on. On level 2 it also clicks and the dipped-beam also turns on. I get the ideas out of what it might be. Does one of you have a tip what it can be? Vehicle is a Mazda 626 Kombi Exclusiv Bj 2000 7118/489 Thanks already in advance for the help. PS: Even more lamps that are checked without function are all OK… I run out of ideas.

Good day to each other, I have two little questions about the 6th 2003. 1) The board computer. I recently went about 220km on the highway. I put the counter at 0. To save a bit of fuel, I drove about 130km/h. Before Munich was then tough-flowing traffic. After Munich I was then heated to get the time back in again. The computer indicated an average speed of 63km/h. However, that can not be true at all, since After Adam Riese this results in a little less than 100km/h. Also the average consumption with 8 liters can not be right at all. At the end I sucked through at least 10-12 liters, before it was also about 9 liters / 100km. 2) I have “problems” with light engine rucksacks and “acceleration holes”. It feels as if the engine had a sudden 5 hp less. Yesterday evening much to me that also the dipped light gets darker. Can it be that the Damic air conditioning machine on the “car” setting constantly shuts the compressor down and shuts it down again? That can’t be at 10°C outside temperature anymore, can it? Thank you, beautiful Sunday, AllDayPiano

Hi, once again DPF!!! On Saturday I drove home from the holiday, where after about 300 km the DPF starts to flash. And the car ran in the emergency run even later. Then I was allowed to drive the remaining 700km with max. 120km/h home. First, it was Saturday night, so I could not quickly find a Mazda workshop, which would still have been open… in April, before about 9000 km made an oil change in a Mazda workshop. But was only a hint of oil change. So I usually don’t go under-touring, especially not the first 300 km on Saturday. approx. 150-160km/h, if the traffic allowed.Can it be that, he wants to point out a oil change again, because too many km were made in a short time? Or did the thing really make a mess? 5Days before, I broke a tire (nail), then put the emergency wheel on it until I then installed new tires. I don’t want to start the car with my keyless, where I had the emergency bike on it… Whether it was because of it? didn’t, but in any case I can’t open the rear windows and the one from the driver’s seat anymore… And no, the child safety is outside… Can it somehow be related to the Dpf???? I can’t really imagine it, but I trust everything to the car by now… And yes, I’m going to the Mazda workshop, but only on Friday I have the termi n… Do you have an idea, or similar experiences? Greet Marko and thank you in advance PS: The SuFu shows me nothing similar… Infos zum Auto: Mazda 6 diesel Kombi Bj.2006 134000km
