I've got a terrible rattle coming from my engine. When I last did my oil change in November, I noticed a triangular metal cover under the engine had a big corrosion hole and I'm thinking that's what's rattling. According to the factory service manual, it's the Exhaust Manifold Bracket, number 8...

So I got into an accident 2 days ago and my insurance company said the car was a "total loss" (2011 Mazda3 Hatch 2.5L). One of my coworkers told me I could take my insurance money, to a garage and just ask them to rebuild the car. How much do you think the insurance will give me and how much...

My 2015 Mazda 3 hatchback was just involved in a hit and run while parked last night. Might be kind of hard to tell the extent of the damage (at least for me), but was wondering how bad this might look like to others. Is that bent metal bar in the top-down view as bad as I fear? Or is this all...

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...

Hey all looking for some detailing advice. I just bought a new to me ’17 Mazda 3 Touring for 12k OTD. It, unfortunately, has got some blemishes in the paint. Some worse than others. I’ve got a Dr. Colorchip set on its way to help me fix at the very least some of the imperfections. So it looks...

Hello, So I am about to do the update of the infotainement of my Mazda 3 2014 so I could use Android, but somehow the command buttons is going crazy since many months now ! When I'm in the main menu, the screen press itself on the "contact" window, then favorite and then calls whoever is on the...

Hi, can anyone tell me the best place to obtain a workshop repair manual for my 2010 mazda 3 tamura?

My son's HID headlights (2007) are getting really hazing looking and need to be replaced. They are original. We've tried having them polished, twice, with very little improvement. The cost of new HID headlight assemblies is pretty insane at ~$680 each (BN8R-51-031D, BN8R-51-041D). Can a...

Should we keep the old purple Mazda? My wife's 2007 Mazda 3 (2.0) sedan (automatic), with 117k miles (paid off) needs about $1k worth of motor mounts and suspension work and we are wondering if it's worth keeping? Repair quote: Both Axel assembly's Transmission mount Motor mounts...

So... I've had my white 2018 GT for 7 days. On day 6, I left it at a hipster shop to tint the windows, then went to work. 4 hours later I picked it up, and noticed that the roof looked like a GOLF BALL. Dents EVERYWHERE. Not as noticeable on the hood, until I got home and parked it in the...

I damaged the rear bumper of my3 this past weekend. Can anyone recommend a auto body shop in the LA area? The damage is about the size of a dime, but it is right in the middle of my rear bumper. It is beyond a simple wax/buff. -Thanks

Someone dinged my 2016 Mazda 3 driver side panel. There are now two dime-sized dents. How much should it cost to get it repaired? I'm more concerned about the dent. And is it possible to do it myself?

Hello, I have a 2012 Mazda 3 with a manual transmission. The car has about 55K miles on it and was purchased brand new. The clutch is starting to slip. The local Mazda dealer service center recommended a clutch replacement @ ~$1500. Right now I am weighing whether to have the dealer do the...

So not sure what happened, but it looks like something dripped on my hood and removed the paint down to the metal. Thought it was bird crap but turned out I am not that lucky. Was wondering if the Dr. Colorchip would be ideal for this or are these too large? Would hate to spend the money for...

Just purchased a used 2010 Mazda 3 Sport for my son's first car. The driver's side fog light is busted. By busted I mean that it appears that the assembly/housing is broken. The lens looks good but it is just hanging loose in the bumper. I want to look at fixing this myself and I am wondering if...
