    Does anyone have an idea what is causing an annoying dashboard rattle in my 06 Mazda 6?

    It's the cable from the temperature control unit to the heater core. We've had a few problems with the hold down bracket dry rotting.

    What has you experience been with Mazda vehicles?

    OK. I LOVE my Mazda B4000. My wife LOVES her Mazda Protege. I have 305,000 miles on my '95 B4000. My wife has 178,000 miles on her Protege. I keep both vehicles maintained. That is the primary guide to making any vehicle last. If you buy a Mazda with a 4 cylinder remember to have the timing belt...

    2000 Mazda 626 clicking sound when starting the car.?

    Your starter is wearing out. To verify this remove the starter and take it to a Autozone or O'reilley Auto Parts Store. Have them do a "bench test" on the starter. If it fails replace it with a new lifetime warranty starter. I recommend Autozone because I have replaced the starter in my Mazda...

    What is a #2 trouble code for a 92 mazda protege?

    Your check engine code does not compute. I cannot find a code to match. Let's do some diagnostics instead. 1 Have some one turn over the motor while you see if the timing belt is turning. You will need to take a couple of screws out of the tining belt cover to see the timing belt. If it doesn't...

    I found water under the mat in truck of my 04 Mazda 6. Where is it coming from & how

    OK 1st Remove the tire and mat from the Storage deck. 2 Clean all the water up.3 Look to see if there is a rubber drain plug in the bottom of the storage deck. If there is only a hole you have your leak. If not then we need to check the deck lid seal. To do this take the car to the car wash and...

    1999 chevy monte carlo tune up?

    What you need is not a "simple" fix. But it is doable. You need to replace the lower intake gaskets. This calls for about 4.5 hours of labor according to the Chilton labor guide. A master certified auto tech like myself does it in about 1.5 hours. We still get paid 4.5 hours though. That is...

    is a dodge caravan a good car? do you have one?

    OK I hope this answers your question. I work at a salvage yard I have seen what has failed and what has survived on many Dodge Caravans. First the 3.0 V6 uses a timing belt, not a timing chain. The timing belts are prone to stretch and / or break. the 3.3 V6 is a good motor but the over drive...
