• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - 03 2.0 Tapping from Engine 18 Feb 2010 (Forum)
  Hello everyine, well I have been looking and reading on this forum for many months and have now decided to post, so a big heloo to everyone! :-) Well I know all the stories with Mazda 6's and their problems, just like many other cars. I've had my 2003 Mazda6 diesel 1-2 years now and have different things go wrong with it, more recently my starter was not engaging or squealing on the first turn of the key, however the car would start on the second or sometimes third turn of the key.

• Mazda Mazda 6 (2002 - 2007) - I think I've got a bargain 9 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Just been along to a well known car supermarket in west London, near to a certain public service broadcaster's headquarters, to view a nice looking 2006 Mazda 6 2.0 TS auto they had up on their website. 28k on the clock, verified. So far so good. Gave the car the once over and test drove it, all seemed to be in excellent order, but the sticker price still seemed good, even for this particular dealership.
• Mazda 6 - Noisy! 12 Nov 2004 (Forum)
  We're thinking of replacing the wife's Mazda Xedos 9, and having been very happy with Mazdas in general, we decided to have a test drive in a Mazda 6. This was my first test drive ever, and I was pleasantly surprised. No hassle, just show my licence, fill in a quick form and off we went without the salesman.
• Buying advice. 19 Jan 2024 (Forum)
  I’ve looked on Mazda approved cars and would like to buy from them I but if I can get much more for my money would look else where…seen a couple of Mazda on there around 50k miles 2015-2016 for around £10k, does that sound reasonable?
• Mazda 3 - Mazda3 2.2 Diesel 1st Gear pull away judder 27 Apr 2022 (Forum)
  I recently purchased a 2017 Mazda3 2.2d Sport Nav, which is fantastic but very different from the VAG cars I've had in the past where there's lots of advice available. The car has only covered 47k (full Mazda SH) and is in good nick to be fair. I am experiencing a strange judder when pulling away in 1st gear; which seems to be less severe if I pick the revs up a little than I normally would. Initially it got me thinking DMF or clutch but I've spoken to several Mazda dealers who say it's extremely rare to see this in these cars, particularly at this mileage.

• Mazda 3 - AIR CONDITIONING 29 May 2012 (Forum)
  Basically the compressor seems to be engaging and disengaging all the time but it gets disengaged for a very long time when the weather gets hot e.g. during summer days. I asked the mazda dealer to check the AC when I took it for a comprehensive service. They didn't have a clue (yes supposed to be mazda specialist!!   and for the money that they charged me for the service to say that oh we put thermometer in the car and didn't find any fault, is just outragous.
