Mazda 2.0 Skyactive - Mazda 3 2015 Skyactive Warranty 22 Sep 2025 (Forum)
Hello all Honest John Forum fans! I’m the proud owner of a 2015 Mazda 3, which so far seems a solid car. I like it very much. The only thing I’ve noticed is that it feels happiest cruising at 70mph – it doesn’t seem to settle as well at 50–60mph on motorways. -
Mazda CX-5 - Coolant leak to cylinder head replacement 26 Dec 2020 (Forum)
I purchased a CX5 in July 2018 with 103k on the clock. 3 months later, following a recall, I was told that the turbo had gone. Mazda paid 80% of the cost, and my warranty the other 20%. Phew as the total was £4000. On a recall 4 weeks ago the same Mazda dealership told me that a cooland leak has resulted in damaging the cylinder head and will cost around £1500 to fix. -

I have recently purchased a Mazda 2 Takuya 2010, I have noticed that it has a Bluetooth system, I have researched that it is a Parrot System that came as standard, however mine is missing the Parrot device itself, I have the microphone, the radio controls on the steering and the Bluetooth connection itself, plus the cables connected in the glovebox. -

Mazda 5 - Mazda DPF oil return to sump 8 Jan 2012 (Forum)
I have a Mazda 5 which has a DPF on it. I understand that during the regen process diesel is added to the DPF filter and this assists with the process. Should the engine be switched off mid way through the process it dumps the diesel into the oil sump. -

Hi all, (if I am overstepping the mark let me know and I'll remove the post) I know that you are more than likely not able to advertise where I can source a quality second hand engine for a 6 speed 120 break Mazda 6 TS diesel 2.0 2007 , I live in Northern Ireland and I have tried to source one in the whole of Ireland (obviously with no joy), I see plenty of adverts on the net for England but I am not sure where to go that is trustworthy in the Mainland. -

Hi All Further to my bmw query, I've rather gone off the idea of getting an E39 at this time, due to concerns over maintenance costs (given the age and mileage my budget would be buying. So instead I've decided to remain loyal to Mazda and am looking at a 6 with the 2.3 petrol sport model. I've seen one and its got leather interior, 60k FSH (apparently). Nice colour too.

Mazda 626 Noise + fuel economy 4 Mar 2005 (Forum)
I am also only getting a very disappointing 26 mpg on average, instead of the quoted 35. It has been to Mazda twice and they claim not to know what's causing all this. The centre and back box were changed in desperation, but made no difference. Independent garages have suggested the lambda sensors and noisy catalytic converter, although Mazda say not - any body got any ideas? -

Got Mazda 5, 2013 has 52,000 miles. Nice car, runs well with sliding doors. Thought had it for 6 years. I’m spending quite a bit on petrol, thinking whether it’s time to change to a hybrid. Would it save petrol having a hybrid. -
