My Mazda 3 '08 battery died a few weeks ago. Being on leave with a new kid, I let it sit until I had time to deal with it. But yesterday I open the hood and find this massive corrosion (see pictures). I'm wondering if some kind of mounting bracket or bolt for the battery is shot and needs...

My 2011 Mazda 3 has 167k miles on it. It has been having some issues with a slightly rough idle, and an even rougher time accelerating from a stop. I saw a recommendation to try the seafoam intake cleaner.... And wow. The car is running like it is brand new! All of the power I have been missing...

I've got the radio unit detached and in my house. I've got it open until the CD player is removed (attached with a electric cable). It's not obvious to me where the CD lens is, and how to open it from here. Thought I'd stop and ask if anyone else has done this or has a diagram to it! Looks...

HOW TO: Clean inside the blower fan wheel/fix ticking from vents First write-up, bear with me if formatting is wrong. I recently had a mouse destroy my engine cover and take a lot of the padding into the "mouse cage" heat/AC blower fan wheel, causing poor performance and ticking from the...
