  Afternoon all - my in laws have a 93K Mazda 626 2.0 (16v) auto with 94k on the clock. Car has recently been making a constant ticking noise once warmed up. The local mechanic has said it was the tappets and used a two stage flushing kit and changed the oil - this usually works apparently.

  However, I've come across a number of HJ comments (see links below) reassuring potential buyers that the new Mazda 2.2 Skyactiv diesel engine should not suffer DPF problems thanks to its exhaust manifold in head configuration.

• Mazda 626 2.0 Executve (GXi?) - Replacing my Vauxhall Vectra 1.8 (2003) 18 Jul 2013 (Forum)
    This latest bill with the tyres has got to me - (I've never had tracking prooving so sensistive in my other cars) and I want to sell it.   I know of a Mazda 626 2.0l (X Reg - year 2000) with 50k on the clock that may be available - not sure if it's called an Executive or GXi.    I would really appreciate some advice please.   Would you say that the Mazda 626 would be a better car than the Vectra?

  I took it to a local garage who informed me that my exhaust temperature sensor (BANK 1 SENSOR 1  Mazda Part No. RF7J – 18 -7GOA) was burned, hence the car was cutting the revs.     I had this replaced at a considerable cost and it’s still doing exactly the same.

• One Careful Owner!! 26 Jul 2005 (Forum)
  Went to a Mazda Event on the weekend at Knockhill. Had a laugh driving RX-8s around the circuit and driving challenges in MX-5s. Biggest topic of conversation was the unlucky people who were going to end up with all those thrashed (clutch/brakes/tyres) 'Mazda demonstation model' cars.

  I have been quoted around £350 to extend this for another year.
