    Anyone here running a robotic pool cleaner alongside their Mazda upkeep?

    By danielbrown

    I'm in Birmingham and keep a fairly strict maintenance routine on my Mazda, but the house side is where I fall behind. Our pool gets a lot of leaf and pollen debris through the summer, and I've been hand-vacuuming it on weekends, which eats into the time I'd rather spend on car care. I'm considering a robotic cleaner, but I'm unsure what actually holds up in a smaller residential pool with a mix of fine dirt and oak leaves. Corded vs cordless, filter basket vs cartridge, and whether the... Read more

    By Nevada CX5

    Any sports car owners current or former?

    By themechanic

    I bought a new 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse with V6 automatic and sold it after 10 years. It was a great daily driver. I drove it to Washington DC in 2003. It was a very comfortable car. I drove my oldest sister's new 1976 Ford Pinto Stallion some in Has. That was a fun driver with it's 4 cylinder 4 speed manual. But I've never owned a lightweight 2 seater convertible. I think the Mazda MX-5 looks like a fun roadster. What do/have you owned or driven?

    New Mazda5 owner with brake questions

    By ex73diesel

    Just picked up a 2015 Mazda5 with 150k miles, it was a one-owner vehicle serviced by a Mazda dealership its whole life. It's a southern car with no rust. Overall it seems well maintained, but the brakes feel sus to me. On the first press, I get a little hint of braking early, but have to push to about 1" from the floor before the brakes really grab. Once there, the pedal is firm and does not keep sinking. If I release and press again immediately, the pedal comes up much higher and firms... Read more

    Yeller Gold

    By Ol Yeller

    Life gets in the way, that happens on most things, getting my 1974 pig up to snuff for weekend duty has been no exception. When I was a little kid my parents had a 71 that mom daily drove, it wasn’t long before my dad and uncle pulled the six and dropped in a 327, when that got tired dad put a Sears crate 350 in it. Other upgrades were 4 Mazda 808 bucket seats, power steering, shackle lift and pipe bumpers. By about 1983 it was done, I recall watching the road go by with the back doors... Read more

    Burnt exhaust valves on cylinder 1 (2003 Mazda Protege LX)...Help!

    By CatBox

    Long story short, i got a couple holes burnt in the exhaust valves on cylinder 1. I just had an engine rebuild kit done last year which included sending the head to a machine shop, so theoretically the head itself is not too beat up. My question is, can I, as an novice, pull the head and install new valves? I have only ever done small, easy to fix problems on my car up to this point, the most involved item would be replacing my throttle body gasket. Due to lifes little surprises, my... Read more

    Has anyone had their CX-5 PCM reprogrammed?

    By Donna921!

    2018 CX5, great vehicle, no major isdues ever- just maintenance etc. It started having a little "hesitation or stutter" when accelerating. My regular mechanic says it is the PCM needs reprogramming(there was a service bulletin on it) took it to Mazda dealer an hour away from me where I bought it. Reprogrammed PCM . Doing the same thing the next day. Mazda says they will have to "diagnose" it now. Second trip over - 2 hours later- they drove it and said bring back and leave all day to... Read more

    Odd comparison but why CX-30 over EQA?

    By raspberry27

    For 26k I can get a 2024 CX-30 AWD at 40k miles 65k kilometres with the European 2.5NA 191hp engine or 2023 EQA300 4MATIC but at 60k miles/100k km. The EQA is expected to be more quiet/stable on the highway at 75mph but is it really better. The badge says it should be but if Mazda is outperforming expectations and Mercedes is underperforming can they meet in the middle in noise/stability on the highway. The car will be driven 90% on the highway and will stay in the garage 2-3 weeks at a... Read more

    How To Disable Daytime Running Lights (instructions)

    By Rhino_66

    Here are the ridiculous instructions for disabling the 2013 Mazda CX-5 Daytime Running Lights. This is no longer done through the diagnostic computer. Timing for the procedure is critical. If you miss a step, the procedure will fail and you will have to start over. The tech at my dealership could not get the procedure to work. The service manager and I did get it to work, but it took several tries. I think the tech was pushing the hazard switch on and off 10 times, not 5 (he was... Read more

    CX-9 Timing chain cover seal leak

    By 2MazdaFam

    I did something I wouldn't typically do yesterday. I took a 230,000 mile car to the dealer for service. We bought the 2016 CX9 with 200k miles (highway miles, he was a traveling salesman) in 2021, and have only done oil changes since. Due to my deferring maintenance the front rotors were heavily grooved. Our local Mazda dealer's service department is not crazy expensive (we bought our 2021 CX5 new from them so I am familiar with the service dept) so I took the CX9 in for front rotors... Read more

    CX-5 Rear Differential Failure

    By n0m0remazda

    Why would anyone want to stay with Mazda when rear differential is a common issue at under 100k miles, and the cost of replacement on average is $5500, never mind other accruing expenses? The response from corporate is beyond irresponsible.
