  • Mazda 3 sell and buy Mazda MX-5 RF

    Hello! I am 21 years old and bought my first car a year ago, a Mazda 3 for approx. 12,000 euros. Year of construction 2014, the km stand has since risen from approx. 60k to 64k. I earn quite well and have hardly enjoyed anything so far. I now consider selling the Mazda 3 and buying instead an MX-5 RF. I will probably move in October and then drive significantly more. (roughly 10-20k km) I would buy the RF version, as I will buy the Blechdac h is much more beautiful than the fabric version. I would probably keep the car for 4 years, then possibly sell it again. Since I have had good experience with the 3s I would like to buy the car again via the Mazda stock exchange at a Mazda dealer. Another dealer would be fine, private purchase is not really possible for me. I have some unexplained questions in my mind and hope that I can be helped here: 1. Is the MX-5 RF also for further routes (15 0-200km) and pleasant in winter? 2. How much is my Mazda 3 now worth? The used car prices have risen last year as far as I know, I have not found a comparable vehicle for 12000 euros. However, I would sell as a private person – with what amount can I realistically calculate? 3. Prices for the MX-5 are already significantly different – There are models for 22k, 25k, 30k etc. – Which price range is here of the price/performance ratio and related resaleswe rt most meaningful? With my 3s I had hardly any problems and Mazda seems to be generally durable. As long as the car is in good condition I actually have nothing against a slightly older one, but if it is useful I could also spend more money on a newer/newer one. 4. What do I have to consider with the equipment? What differences are there here and what is (not) worth? 5. 2022 there was a facelift – Does that have any relevance for me? The design looks a little better but I don’t think this alone is worth the difference in price. Edit: 6. Is the 132hp version enough or should you take the 184hp version?

  • NBFL doesn’t start anymore

    My NBFL bj 2001, 1.6er doesn’t want to start anymore? I had a very weak battery and then my mx5 was standing for 3 weeks without moving, I thought it was due to a blank battery and then called the ADAC, battery was connected to starter set and still the engine did not start, error code was read out and it should be the immobiliser? I tried it with a second key then and it still doesn’t start. Starter works and motor turns Now the question is whether it could really be the electronic immobilizer or if it has another cause ? is this a known problem with mx5? I have read that it might also be on the camshaft sensor, maybe I would buy and replace a used sensor. I hope you still have some tips for me.

  • P1345 / camshaft sensor

    Moin dear community, I had rolled the days at night in traffic jam (longer time in the first gear, often uncoupled and again, standstill… jam stop) at once engine drop-outs. U.U. only from 1500RPM or if you (at the start) caused load by coupling in. Flight also started the MKL. Briefly breathed through and quite firmly pondering… did everything there to read out and at least see if I reach something myself. So read out and just P1345, briefly googled, camshaft sensor. f and the sensor once removed, check. Nix seen, reinstalled. Bitsl on the cables. Error deleted, continued. Couple hundred meters later (still in traffic jam, therefore several minutes later) same problem. So again bonnet on, this time only the plug re-plugged several times. The next 400km was everything ok. Had then the days nen bissl Caramba injected into plug and socket. Today very similar traffic jam and again the same problem. new (still good oily), the next 50km (up to home just) everything ok. Does not feel for me after a sensor defect, but rather cable / contact problems. But what do you say? 1. Is in the first gear clearly under 1500rpm longer time loaming particularly violent (special vibration frequencies?) for plug contacts or any other in the motor? 2.) Sensor possibly nevertheless defective? 3.) Is the 1,9er NB sensor really compatible with the 1,9er NBFL? Remove the sensor from my other NB and put it in the glove compartment. I depend on my car tomorrow. Greetings Erinya

  • Madza 626 Station Wagon 1.9 BJ98

    Hello and good tomorrow to all. Hope you can help me a little bit. My neighbor wants to bring his car over the Tüv only it lights up the TSC and ABS lights permant. Have already tried as described here in the forum to read out the error code with the bridge, but the ABS light flashes no piece lights up permant. My question, is there a security that is perhaps through because no reaction comes or can it be that it is on the control unit? At Madza he was not yet Since the reading device is defective from them and should not be repaired before next week…… so hope you can help me a little bit.

  • MX-5 with automatic transmission

    Hello, does any of you have an MX-5 NC with automatic transmission, or has you ever driven one? Would I be interested in what its experience is like with it.

  • Another purchase recommendation… Mazda 6

    Hello everyone, after an economic total damage 3 weeks ago we are now facing the next car purchase. A very difficult matter at the moment … hours long search until now relatively unsuccessful. We are looking for a reliable medium-old combi (small family with 1 child therefore does not have to be a huge box ) up to 17,000 €. The plan is to buy the car with about 100,000 kilometers and then in some years with about 250,000 kilometers to sell. The car should not have a too big value loss. Currently in the selection Volvo V60 (very few offers on the market) Skoda Octavia (almost a little too big) Opel Astra or Renault Meghane (as emergency solution) BMW 3 Series or Audi A4 (something above the desired price) Now I have discovered a Mazda 6 Diesel, automatic with 175 Ps from the dealer. Full equipment 100,000 kilometer level but 2016 year for 17,000 € What would you think the best solution/model for us? Is the Mazda 6 interesting or rather finger gone Many thanks to the experts. I would be very pleased as a layman about answers.

  • 2015er 2.2D automatic problems

    Moin Moin, my 2015 175D with 105tk on the clock causes me grief with the automatic transmission. It makes itself so noticeable that he in 2 and 3 gears does not switch down cleanly and the gears go too far. You notice it especially in the stop and go traffic. It comes to a jerking when you stay on the gas and hold it in the range of 1750u/min, one gives a gas shock or takes the gas back it is away. It is the EAT6 gear, the switching processes themselves are liquid and inconspicuous, the gear has already been rinsed 2x and the learning values have been reset, the further there was a software update at Mazda. Unfortunately, there was no success, from the feeling I would say that if he would switch 100u/min rather it would not come to the jerk. Does anyone know that from you?

  • Tacho broken? Helpee

    Hello dear community, desperate I have signed up here! I have been Mazda owner since October 2022 and was totally satisfied. In December overnight, it started to work both radio keys no longer. However, I can open the doors with the key and start engine. 1 day later, the tacho lighting did not go any more, as well as the speed indicator. Subsequently, several errors appeared in the speedometer and the servo did not work. I noticed when I press horn that does not go, but the error messages jump away only engine control light remains on as well as tire air pressure! Driving it is quite normal no power loss otherwise what. I was in several workshops and they found nothing. I am totally desperate who can help me ?

  • Interest in Mazda 6 and already a question

    Hello dear Mazda driver! I’m new here because I have a great interest in a Mazda 6 limousine. So on a certain one I have looked at today. I once attached a picture to which also my question refers. As you can see on the picture, the car has tinted windows, but only on the side windows?! The rear window is “normal”. Is this the case with Mazda or does he possibly get a new rear window? Overall, I’m really excited about the car and would like to buy it. Are just small things, for which I need a bit of clarity before that. Thank you for the help 🙂

  • Purchase advice Mazda 6 175 PS Built 2013

    Have a meal with each other, I’m thinking about leaving the VAG group and getting a Mazda. Since I drive 55km a day to work, a diesel engine is my preference. Now I need advice from you. I have a Mazda 6 from 2013 in mind. The car has about 190tkm down, is supposedly a checkbook and was only in Mazda workshops. I’ve already read a lot.. The injectors should be sealed off from mentioned mileage, the camshaft causes problems, the infotainment would have problems, rust is a topic and and and. How do you like it? Do you advise from the purchase or should I look at the offer more closely? Inserted is the car with a purchase price of 750€ VB Dear thanks in advance already.
