  • Charging points GJ

    Servus! I failed on my Mazda yesterday when after the Fiesta I also wanted to switch the six on his summer shoes. Do I see correctly that without a notch for the shunting car lifter you have no chance to lift the car? And where exactly do you start? I did not find these U-shaped markings from the manual.

  • CX5 Purchase

    Hello, I’m thinking of buying a CX5 Sportsline G194. Have looked at the fuel monitor, the consumption is at some at 7,.. L/100KM. I realize that everyone drives differently or has a different track profile but I feel the consumption is too low (always 2.5l all-wheel and automatic), or is this really realistic? Does the cylinder shutdown really bring what? Think about 9 L/100 km is realistic, isn’t it? The fuel consumption is not quite so decisive, since I don’t want to buy a CX5 Sportsline G194. I am currently driving an Opel with 180hp (turbo) and automatic, which also takes between 8.7 -10 liters (50% urban traffic/50% rural road). The exclusive line G-165 with all-wheel drive and automatic will consume a little less. Do you notice the difference between the two cars with the driving performance very much? Where do I like the sportsline equipment better. How are the inspection costs for small and large service? Just want to inform me in advance, test drive etc. of course still comes! Thanks for information!

  • CX3 AHK retrofitting with E-set problems

    Hello. Maybe someone can help. A speci from me has fetched a removable AHK for his Mazda CX3 with according to the selection list vehicle the suitable E-set from Brink. The hardware itself was not an act, where it has now failed on the electrics. All cables in the can clamped, as in the description and also twice controlled even with multimeter measured. Mass is also connected with the beige cable set. Problem we have as soon as e in the rear bicycle carrier is connected to the can, there is even nothing on the carrier. The flasher relay ticks in the car, so that the turn signals flash faster at the front than at the rear but no lamps shine on the carrier. A cable should also be branched off for lighting NSL but this then did not work any more, as described in the description. Cable again clamped on series. Since front of the PDC control unit was also occupied by the specification of the place to pin (es g ibt da 3 Versions) we have taken the 1st version since 2 and 3 of the said pins were already occupied and that was then also in the trunk, that would be for the reverse gear. Cable set in itself plug & play together. Are a little helpless, because a lot of wrong can not be done normally. Had had recently also had a driver carrier retrofitted without problems electr. , like mechn. Even with another trailer times tried at the car not much more. He had to have the car completely and he started it all again. Maybe someone knows advice or had had something like that already.

  • Deactivate start/stop automation with the new MX 5 ??

    Hello municipality, was today with Mazda and have looked at the new MX 5 (Sportsline). Very nice car! And what I am particularly pleased that it also looks good with the sitting position and the headroom. But what surprises me a lot – not to say “unsettled”. – there seems to be no way of deactivating the standard start/stop automatic. . . The seller himself seemed a bit surprised and rolled the brochure like a savage… – without tangible s result. Now he wants to ask his master on Monday… Do you have any more detailed information about this? Thank you for your feedback!

  • Vibrations at 55 and 110 kmh

    Hello dear community, I bought a Mazda mx5 na year 91 a while ago. However, I have a relatively annoying problem now. And that’s when the vehicle vibrates at approx. 55 kmh and 110 kmh. It has to be an imbalance or? Could it be the tires, which according to the previous owner are actually balanced? I never had anything to do with unbalanced tires, so I don’t know how that would feel either. What do you think? Are it pretty sure that he tires or do you have any other ideas, what it could be Think already in advance

  • NB FL: Air conditioning, but no switch in the cockpit???

    Moinsen, probably a stupid question, but ….. My recently acquired NB FL Bj. 2002 is in the workshop for the 90,000 inspection. This just called me and told me that the climate was completely empty and whether they should refill it. Then I said: “The car has no climate!” The laughter in the workshop was clearly heard, because of course the car would have a climate, they were just in front of it. I pointed out that it would have been sold to me a) without climate. nd b) there would be no switch in the cockpit for the climate. Anyway, they could fill the “climate” from me. I was tensed. 1 hour later a call from the workshop would be very strange, because the car would actually not have a switch for the climate (what) although the complete “hardware” would be installed incl. cable channels. However, since they could not test the climate without a switch, they now let everything off again (of course without calculating it). Question: What reason can there be that the vehicle has a climate including all the attachments, but does not have a corresponding switch in the vehicle. Could it be a later installed that is switched somewhere else? Or in general, does someone know a similar case? Thank you very much!

  • 2.0 GTA with lots of KM

    As already written above I think about buying a Mazda 2.0 BK. The cars are now really cheap with approx. 4000€, but have already 170-200.000km on it. Now my question have the 2.0 chain problems? How long do the chains keep from the engines? Are there any other known engine problems? Gearbox? Unfortunately you find very little to the engines the 1.6s should have been far more popular.

  • Swallow wiper water

    Hello together, after my Mazda told me by indicator light that he needs new wiping water, I filled yesterday just 5 liters. However, the message does not go away, did you have the topic already? Look forward to your feedback. Photos from the car will follow soon! ??? GLG from Salzburg

  • Mazda 3 (BM 2014) Comparison normal vs Xenon headlights and question about rims for winter tyres

    Hello Together We are looking for a follow-up car for my niece. We decided on a test drive for the Mazda 3 G120. Year of construction around 2014 because this fits into the budget. Unfortunately this vehicle was sold by now, as we experienced after the end of the test drive. Therefore we are looking for a comparable one. Since we have seen that there are the Mazda 3 BM both with and without Xenon headlights, two questions arise. 1. one can be based on Pictures see if Xenon is installed? Maybe a car shows up when you are looking for it, in which Xenon is not noted in the equipment list. 2. How good are the “normal” headlights, these are clearly worse than Xenon or possibly also sufficient. 3. How good are the headlights of the Mazda 3 BM overall? I have in my A4 Xenon headlights, which are extremely good. But I have already driven in vehicles, which Xenon had and still not good illumination. The old Gol f 5 of my niece had normal headlights, which were also relatively dark. Therefore the question about the BM headlights. Additional question about rims. We need for the Mazda 3 BM then also winter wheels. It should definitely be which with 16″ rims. Since we do not yet have such a vehicle or the corresponding papers, I also do not know what is allowed here. Question would be, what dimension do the corresponding tires have? And what width and ET do the original Mazda rims have? Do the BM also fit rims from other older or newer models? Thank you for your information.

  • M Hybrid System – Battery Charging status – When full?

    Moin Kinners, just changed from Kia to Mazda. Since last Friday proud owner of a Mazda 3 BP I have a little question for the staff here – since I have found nothing more about the Sufu now – to the M Hybrid System… Since Saturday I drive the same distance daily to work, from 22km to 45 min. Mainly in the city. Moderate acceleration and regular rolling out (seiling). Have in the menu operating state of the system time and time again the small Bat I noticed that the state of charge hardly changes at all. The state of charge here always commutes between 2 and 3 bars. Now to the question: Under what conditions does the battery feel? Is this perhaps related to factors such as driving time, acceleration, outside temperature or the like?The manual only says the following:• The remaining amount of energy in the M hybrid battery is displayed in 6 stages. • The charging of the M hybrid battery is automatically switched on by M Hybrid controlled. The remaining energy in the M hybrid battery may not reach the maximum, even if energy is restored by engine power and brake regeneration. However, this does not mean that there is a problem. What does this look like for you? Has anyone ever received a full battery? Greetings and thanks for the information in advance.
