• Mazda MX5 - Heated rear screen fault 1 Dec 2010 (Forum)

  My Mazda's been damaged in an accident and will be taken to a bodyshop. Since it's still in warranty it's been taken under the Mazda recovery scheme to a Mazda approved bodyshop. However, my insurer - Tesco - wants it to go to one of their own.
• 'Diesel rattle' from petrol Mazda engine 28 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  My 1998 1.5LXi Mazda 323 (petrol) is making a diesel rattle occasionally when I'm changing up through the gears. It's the same noise that it makes if I drive in too high a gear, such as going into 2nd before the car is at a sufficient speed.

• Mazda 6 TS 2.0 Diesel 2007 - catastrophic engine failure 41000 miles 22 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  Eventually it stopped, but the engine had leaked a load of coolant and the radiator head had blown off.  When Mazda Assistance's roadside guy arrived he reckoned it was the turbo, but said he could not see why this had blown the radiator.  When the car got delivered to the Mazda garage the Mazda dealer's service engineer informed me when they received the car that I had no service history on the electronic record and therefore Mazda were not allowing him to touch it - not even to diagnose the problem.

• mazda 6 2.2 sport - madza 6 engine failure under warranty 30 Dec 2020 (Forum)
  Either the injectors are leaking fuel into the engine, which in turn is mixing with the oil and changing the properties of the oil, it normally acts as a lubricant but also cools the engine. Now here is where I post an opinion of a former mazda technician who worked on many mazdas with this blocked sump strainer problem. Apparently when you get your car serviced with mazda they are told drop the sump and check the strainer as part of the service, this alone tells me that mazda know that there is a problem with there diesels.
