  • Council for purchase Mazda 6 from 09/2013

    A beautiful dear car mate, I am currently cucumbered with an Audi A3 8L rum, which turned out to be an enormous baselbude. Through my work colleague I came to the taste at Mazda and had already reviewed an offer on site, but was also ne too large construction site. Unfortunately. Now I have an advertisement in my eye and would like to have an assessment of you knowing Mazda drivers. It has been around a Mazda 6 from September 2013. Ergo still pre-facelift, diesel with a 2.2 liter Skyactive-D engine and about 185,000 km. He was looked after check booklet, only maintained by Mazda workshops and is accident-free. Unplanned repairs are probably also not available. The Tüv is fresh from October 2024 and has probably track rod head (right/left) new lower cross handlers front (right/left) new Koppelstank rear (right/left) new Koppelstank rear (right/left) new front and rear geometrie to come. The Tüv will take the car for 7,500€ and over the offer is reasonable?

  • Car brakes on its own.

    Hello together, I have a problem and that my brakes self-braking. I had the problem that my car at the front right got the rim really hot and even started to squeak and very loudly. Problem was that the piston was completely rusted with the caliper and not really re-tried. Problem found, two new calipers bought and changed. Brake pads are also new and the disc is hardly worn out. Problem now, however, is that I notice that my car is very lightly braking itself. Rims are driving after 50 minutes, minimally warm, if you can call it warm. The brake disc is equally hot on both sides. At the back I also installed short new brake pads, caliper and two new brake ropes. Can anyone help me there? I thank you in advance.

  • Mazda 6 Motorization

    Hello, after 22 years of service car I have to take care of a private car I drive an A6 diesel four-wheeler with a little over 200 hp. I want to decide for Mazda and fluctuate between the 6 car and the CX5. Automatic. The dealers recommend me the 194PS engine instead of the 185PS engine. How are your experiences – is the difference really so great? The leasing rate is about 50 euros per month higher. I know that I will not have the performance of the A6 – but for my trips to work and holidays in France and Italy I don’t have to race. For tips I would be grateful, since I have to decide soon. Unfortunately, the trial drive with the 6 car is a real problem – no dealer has a demonstration car. At CX5 no problem… but SUV??

  • Alarm goes to with spare key without battery

    Mazda 6 Sports-Line with LogIn remote control Hi, don’t go further, the instructions are thin and not exactly clear … In short: How do I start the car with the spare key or generally with a key without a battery, without the alarm going off? I put my first key (with battery) far away and with the second/physical key the door opens: Alarm goes off. Operating instructions: no indication for proper operation with physical spare key. There is only how, e.g. with the burglary sensor switch off the alarm, namely with the key on the key case – if a battery is in it. Is not. Or how to turn off the alarm when it has gone off: with battery key or with motor, clear. Or “turn off the anti-theft system”, i.e. complete: press the unlock button on the FB. Clear – if a battery is in it. The two-track “theft protection system” is also described: Auto theft or the the theft of objects? Then it sounds “the sirene or the horn or what? What is the connection?

  • MX5 NC Problems

    Moin Moin, have bought me a 1.8 NC from 2012 with 27,000km. Checkbook maintained. However, I would like to inform myself what you should pay attention to at the NCs, apart from rust. Have read from time to time about some problems with the engine and otherwise only from rust … what do your experience values look like? Greeting

  • 3.6 Diff on 1.9 NBFL with 5 gears

    Moin, wants to fit into my current vehicle 3.6 Diff. I just drive too much highway and like to look at how that feels. Then the odometer and speedometer don’t fit completely anymore. Which speed sensor can I install instead of the standard 5-speed sensor to iron it out again? Just take the 6-speed transmission and is good? Or are there other solutions? Greetings Erinya

  • Mx-5 which engine is best? 1.6 or 1.8

    Hello, I’m looking for a nice mx5 na, but I’m not sure which engine fits best? What’s recommended?

  • MX 5 NA 1.9

    A question, even if the MX 5 is undoubtedly built for cruising, why is the 131 hp with 197 given and the 116 hp with 195? It would have to run a little over 200, like 203 approx. or changes the CW value? The values were measured with closed cover and closed headlights or? for the extra power only 2 kmh is very strange, even if it doesn’t matter as I said, because you drive a little faster with it at most a few minutes and as a journey Speed 80-100 preferred

  • Mazda Miata MX-5 NA cooks…

    …unfortunately no food, but from time to time its cooling water. I realized my dream of the MX-5 NA about 2 weeks ago, after having already looked at a few NA’s: 1994 Mazda Miata NA with 1.8 engine (as good as dry). Strangely enough, the FL model has not yet really come true… So has the big engine and a driver’s airbag, but no passenger airbag and not the rounded fittings. Except for a few broken light bulbs and cosmetic traces of the last 24 years, the M azda in my opinion (still the inexperienced apprentice who has driven an aquarium sample) in generally very good condition for his money. At least a few of his previous owners seem to have sheared around his condition. Motor does not clack, rust really keeps within limits, the seats have been restocked with the original fabric and the roof is in good condition. To get to the point: I noticed that after about 15Km drive with the engine switched off a noise in the engine room, near the right headlight from the driver’s point of view, to be heard. Sounds like he was cooking or eating badly and stomach growls… So a blubbing sound. That the coolant is exactly in this area worries me a little. The temperature indicator I have always been looking closely at since when driving, since this is supposed to be so conceived that the tolerance range to the right is not so tolerant. Apart from the warm-up phase, which in my eyes is very but he always keeps his temperature where he should have it. Until once, where the pump went, he has not crossed this area yet. So when I get out, I often hear this cooking; but never a fan. Is the efficiency of the fan so high that given if the cooling water starts to cook, if it doesn’t run? The cooler, by the way, gets unbraked driving wind, so the mouth of the Miata is free of numbering chi In my research, I have often encountered words such as balance tank, thermostat, cooler lid, etc.. Now I wonder if I should order a new thermostat for 25€ and install it myself, or if I should buy a new fan and install it myself, or if I should change the cooling liquid completely and pay attention to the correct mixing ratio. Or if I should do everything (all the money I like to do in the repair of the kl Since I have already cracked the 400 words and want to spare you the 500, I would just like to thank you for every answer!! Have a nice weekend! (Images can’t be added now)

  • Light range Mazda 3 BN LED

    Hello everybody! I noticed during night trips that the beam of light is only very short in the left-hand side of the light (sh. picture). Especially at higher motorway speeds very unpleasant. Almost like a blind flight on the left-hand side. Can you adjust something? Who also has this problem? This is a Mazda 3 Exclusive (BN) with the standard LED headlights.
