Hello all, So a few years ago my A/C was not cooling very well so I decided to get it fully drained at a shop and refilled it myself. The system was fully charged to spec, but I also had used an oil charge in addition to regular r134a. I have issues whenever I accelerate to quickly, where the...

I've sprayed Lysol in there already, but as the summer came back, and I've started using the AC again, the stench is back with a vengeance. What causes the mold/mildew to grow inside the vents? Is the AC dripping into the ducts??

Is there a way to swap for these controls? I have a 2016 iTouring Mazda 3. I haven't seen them anywhere.

Hi there, I have the 17 5door touring with the dual zone hvac controls. I've noticed air still blows out of the vents while the system is supposed to be off. It doesnt blow full speed but enough that it bothers if its not the right temperature u want. Is there a way to stop this? Its...

My girlfriend drives a 2010 Mazda 3 (2.5/manual) and has been having issues with the passenger side lower console heating up extremely hot to the touch while the A/C is on. I attached a picture of exactly where the heat is sourced. It doesn't do it when the A/C is off or if just the blower is...

Hi everybody, first time poster and I just want to say that this forum has given me so much help with my car! So I ordered some aluminum hvac knobs for my 2015 mazda 3, link is here 3pcs Car Heat Control Air Conditioning A C Knobs Switch Button for 2014 3 Axela | eBay I read a guide here...

The blower motor on my 2013 GT has been acting up lately. It first started making a subtle clicking noise when the fan was on which led me to think it was on its way out. Recently, the fan won't come on until about 10 mins of driving, and while on it makes some pretty bad noises (like the...

I saw that somebody here on the forum was able to modify gen 2 HVAC knobs to fit our cars but in my search for HVAC knobs on eBay, I stumbled upon these: Air Condition Knobs Decorative Circle Trim 3pcs for Mazda 3 Axela M3 2014 2015 | eBay Anybody try these yet? I'm tempted to order them to...

Hello everyone, so I want to change my knobs that i currently have on my car and would like to purchase that round chrome ones like the picture below. I would like to buy within the united states. Does anyone know a site or a spot I could find them within the states? - Thanks!

Hi friends http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=136394&thumb=1 I have the analog 3 rounded HVAC control on my mazda like above. Do you think if I add the digital one like below, it will work without much fuss...

Hi All, For anyone with the analog HVAC controls (ie the three knobs for temp, fan, and vent position), what are your feelings on the temperature sensitivity? I find the temperature to be almost binary -- it's either freezing cold or boiling hot and not much in between. I had the car in for...

I'm going to try this out as an attempt to use a Japanese proxy shopping service, just to get an idea of the whole buying-from-japan process. We choose to buy this cabin air filter as a tester plus we get to test if this air filtration are any better than a) stock OEM filter KD45-61-J6X, b)...

I have a 2012 Skyactive Sedan and have been unimpressed with the heating and A/C since I bought it. When it is decently cold outside, it takes a good 15 minutes of driving before the car really starts to pump out heat (by that point I'm basically home from work) It'll put out some warm air but...

I really hate the old style knobs that the GS (in Canada) comes with. Would knobs like these from the pre 2014 models (link below) fit the 2014 model? Amazon.com: Chrome CNC Billet Aluminum A/C Control Knob Heater Panel Switch For Mazda 3 3pcs: Automotive Thanks.

:winkiss: I have a new noise.. whenever I turn the hvac on to cool/cold ( AC doesn't have to be on ), it whistles!! annoying. I can turn the temperature to warm and the whistle will slowly go away, all the way to hot and its gone. I took out my air cabin air filters and cleaned the box out...

Hey guys, I've looked through this forum and the "How-To" forum...I have yet to come across clear instructions (with or without pictures) on how to remove the center HVAC console unit. I've gone through that interior trim service manual as well but to no avail I've been able to remove the cup...

Hello there, I am enjoying my new 2011 3 SGT crystal white. It came with the fully automatic HVAC system, and I have been trying to decipher its instructions for days. I had never had an automated temperature control. My problem is the following, like in non automatic systems, how do you manage...
