#3876 of 3964 NEW-LOOKING AT AN 02S 84K, SUPER UNLEADED ONLY? by wynn1 Mar 03, 2008 (12:45 am)
Looking at 02S and I am seeing that mfg. recommends super unleaded for this vehicle. Anyone running other than super and have not read all posts, does this create any noticable problems? Anyone running regular unleaded? Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Mar 03, 2008 5:35 am)

Replying to: wynn1 (Mar 03, 2008 12:45 am) Do NOT use regular unleaded in the supercharged Miller cycle engine. It is OK to do in the 2.5 liter, though I don't understand why people do. The few cents more that premium costs has become a smaller percentage of overall fuel cost as the price per gallon has risen. You could mix mid-grade and premium to shoot for a 91 octane mix I suppose.   If premium is recommended, then using it will gain you more power and better mileage. However, with the S, the knock sensor cannot always react quickly enough to compensate when the supercharger spools up.   Make sure the expensive 60K service was done (timing belt, plugs, etc.). Use premium and enjoy the car.

Replying to: maltb (Mar 01, 2007 1:30 pm) I have been experiencing a similar prob for some time . I am pretty happy with my 2002 millenia except one situation, every so often prob at least once a day now the the transmission jerks the car forward a bit ( and hold light blinks-even though I have not engaged it) I had the transmission replaced about 2 years ago and the engine light has come on and off since I picked up the car brand new from the dealer. Even when I brought the car in for routine maintenance they never found anything wrong with it until I bought it after the 3 yr lease was up, then I needed a new trannie. SO since the dealer quote me a price of 6K I took myself to a local AAMCO dealer and had one installed for 3k, unfortunately I still have a prob, can I solve this by somehow having that hold button feature disabled? thanks!

#3879 of 3964 Thermostat Frozen on 90 in my 99 Millenia by tex1084 Apr 02, 2008 (7:20 pm)
Though I consider myself to be fairly savvy under the hood and in normal maintenance with my car, this one's over my head. What could be the source of my problem when my air conditioning unit thermostat (if that's even its technical name) is stuck on 90. Even when I turn it off, it's blowing warm air up my thighs.   A broken fuse? A broken thermostat? The protocol for replacing a broken "thermostat" (a part only $18) seems to be a hell of an effort. I'm hoping I read the wrong information.   Could anyone send me in the right direction?--hopefully not to a dealer.   Thanks a bunch.

Replying to: lbrighton (Mar 05, 2008 1:01 pm) I have a 2000 Millenia S Millenium Edition , the check engine light has been on since I have purchased the vehicle, also for the last few months the TCS and TCS Off light have started to come on and stay on for periods of time which causes the car to jerk, I was told my O2 sensor needs to be replaced, you may want to have your sensors checked , They can cause the car not to perform correctley even as far as the transmission performance. This can be exspensive

Replying to: cindy79 (Apr 10, 2008 8:49 am) They are very good cars and often can go well past 120,000 miles trouble-free. They need to be serviced properly, especially the S model. The S model must have premium fuel. The 60,000 mile service is important. For all the people on forums who complain, there are many more happy owners, some of whom still look for low mileage examples when it is time to trade. I owned two of them and had no regrets. However, technology has moved on and they are hardly state of the art anymore.   Someone got a real deal on purchasing my second one from the dealer. It needed O2 sensors and all 60K work. Millenium Edition that sold with 59,000 miles for less than $7,000 (I believe the asking price was like 10K). The dealer did all the service, and the purchaser got a vehicle that was like new.   You likely paid more for the car than you needed to (KBB and even Edmunds list inflated values for these cars, compared for what they are really selling for). You may have been happier with the non-S model, which is just as pretty. I recommend a person buy one either from a Mazda dealer (they will have done the required service), or from someone who has all the service records. O2 sensors will be pricey from a dealer. Shop around for parts.   Tuition in the school of life stuff: it is easy enough to turn off the check engine light without fixing the underlying problem. Running a computer check through Autozone for example might give you a better idea of whether there are any error codes stored on a car you are considering. As for price, a good check is to see what similar models have sold for on eBay.   You need to evaluate repair costs and overall condition. It may be cheaper for you to bring the car up to optimum condition, or it may be cheaper to dump it now. All depends. Has it had the 60,000 tuneup and timing belt change? Is it using any fluids? Any leaks at all? The steering wheel doesn't matter that much...it's mostly for show. Set it where you want it, and then turn the auto feature off most of the time. Less stress on the steering column motor, and the feature will last longer. Replies to this message: cindy79 (Apr 16, 2008 3:58 am)
#3884 of 3964 95 Mill S dash light out by oastler Apr 10, 2008 (1:38 pm)
My LED-type light is out that displays on the dash the time, thermostat and AC settings. I checked the fuse and its okay. Any ideas on how to fix it myself or is a shop going to have to do it?   Thanks, Tom

Replying to: gregg_vw (Apr 10, 2008 12:06 pm) Im not sure if it has had the 60K services when I purchased the car it had 88K, The dealer is paying for th sensor repairs. However one place meineke to be exact told me I need manifolds, and a converter if they a diffrent, the dealers repairman said that I needed all 4 o2 sensors and new axles which I was told by both he said my manifolds were fine, I guesiing the tcs off light has to do with the faulty o2 sensors.
