I own a 2022 Mazda3 M/T. I was driving home over the summer in cruise control going about 70 in 6th gear when the rpms began fluttering. The car lost all acceleration and I rolled off the highway. With only 4000 miles, the dealership told me the clutch was completely disintegrated and parts of...

This is a PSA for those who have Mazdas with Skyactiv/direct-injection engines who are not already aware of this: If you regularly drive in slow-moving traffic, city/stop & go traffic, or sit with you vehicle idling for even a few hours per month, then you especially need to pay attention to...

I have a 2012 Mazda 3i manual transmission, 2.0L, VIN F. Unfortunately I need to replace the engine due to what is believed to be worn piston rings. In looking for a replacement, should I only consider the same year and VIN F? Or will the computer respond to a 2011 or 2010? I assume I need to...

Here's me yet again with another (possibly) stupid question. So, just the other day I started the car and immediately turned it off because I had forgotten something in my house. I know that some oil film usually remains on the engine bearings after the engine is shut off but I can't help...

So yesterday I decided to go for a ride and, without thinking, gave my car full throttle while overtaking just 8 minutes (5 miles) down the road, with ambient temperature being around 50°F. What worries me is that oil wasn't fully up to temperature and that I might have pushed the engine too...

So a week ago I gave my Mazda 3 a full throttle (WOT) to 3000rpm and now I can't shake the feeling that I might have caused some undetectable damage that'll eventually show up down the road. I have already made a similar post so I apologise, but I wanted to provide extra info for our resident...

So I've just about passed the 600 mile break-in mark and, stupidly, gave my engine full throttle in first gear. I didn't exceed 3000rpm, but I did push the accelerator all the way down after depressing the clutch, which caused me to worry about engine health. Is it possible that opening the taps...

Hi. I've noticed my 1.6 liter '06's engine shake and rattle more than usual at about 1400 and 2500 RPM. Cold weather will make the shakes more pronounced. The shakes might be less if I turn the engine off for a bit (like popping into a gas station to buy a coffee and come back) and turn it back...

While replacing my spark plugs, I saw there is a hole between the 2nd and 3rd spark plugs and it probably takes a screw that is missing. (see pic below) The pic is taken after removing the second coil. But that hole in the metal is not the hole for the second spark plug. It is between the 2nd...

So looking like having to do an engine swap after my sp23 went kaput at 220,000km, 140k ish miles. Have no compression at all in cylinder 2 and very little in cylinder 1 there was about 2L of coolant/water that came out the drain plug with 2.5Lish oil. Oil on base of plug one, plugs are old but...

Does anyone know the name of this cloth or sponge type that comes with the engine cover of the 2015 Mazda 3? I want to replace it because it leaves a lot of lint or white dust, but I do not know what it is haha looks like cotton; Any help it's grateful.

Anyone experience this? Specifically with a 2011 3 GT Hatchback (2.5L) Car has 105k miles Basically, if the car is cold, it starts up fine but if I drive it a short distance, usually under a mile, turn it off for like 5-10 mins when I run into the store, it will sometimes struggle to start...

My engine has been very occasionally jumping and stuttering, it feels like hitting a bump but horizontally, no codes are being thrown, no lights are showing. I know for a fact it's not bad gas but that's all I know. It could be a vacuum leak but I doubt it, it's most likely not to do with the...

Hello everybody To begin with, I would like to tell you that i am a complete beginner on car-related stuff and I realize that my question may be stupid for which I apologize in advance. Two weeks ago I became the owner of a Mazda 3 2.0 120km, skyactive gasoline. At the beginning it was...

Hey guys, I own a Mazda 3 Sp23 2010, 2.5L... I’m looking to maybe install a turbo after I get my cold air put in. I was wondering if anyone had any clue if this is even a good idea or knows how installing a turbo actually works... thanks all :)

Hi all, I'm attempting to use VRTune's Powergate 3+ to reflash my ECU. Unfortunately, when attempting to read the ECU for the first time, the Powergate spits out "An error occurred while reading data from ECU. Please try again." Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Bush

I was driving home tonight from work and when i got home i noticed a weird ticking noise coming fron the engine bay seems situated on the top right side of the engine looking in from the front, i took a audio recording, and i nnoticed a strange smell coming from the exhaust that i could smell in...

FINALLY, I did another mod lol. This time a CS Engine Mount. I borrowed a pair of ramps from a friend and it was easy. The hardest part is the pop clips for the under tray lol. After I pulled the oem mount I applied some light pressure to it and I cannot believe how much flex is engineered...
