Replying to: soloflight98 (Dec 31, 2008 7:14 am) I have changed the timing belt just recently actually, they looked at the S/C but the biggest signs were burning oil and an incredible amount of exhaust at startup and any time during acceleration

Replying to: milleniaslave (Nov 11, 2008 12:33 am) What kind of gas are you using, have you changed your fuel filter? It could be your IAC ( Ilde Air Control valve). It cost too!! $450.00

Replying to: Bona92 (Dec 31, 2008 5:03 am) Yea, thats a tough call and the price sounds about right, unless you plan on doing the work yourself. How many more miles do you expect to get out of the engine? 140K? 160K? You may want to consider replacing with a used, low mileage engine - you may even be able to have that done for less money.
#3912 of 3964 engine light stay on by howard27 Jan 03, 2009 (1:30 pm)
I have a 2001 Mazda Millenia the engnie light has been on for months, It it runs fine. I have heard that it could be the Mass Airflow Sensor.   Does anyone have a better answer? And what can I expect it to cost? Replies to this message: bayareadave (Jan 04, 2009 3:19 pm) steely72 (May 16, 2009 2:32 am) hawaiianmike (May 17, 2009 12:53 pm)

Replying to: howard27 (Jan 03, 2009 1:30 pm) It won't cost much for a shop to hook up a diagnostic code reader and see what code is set. From there, you can get a better idea about why it is on. It may be something minor. You cannot pass smog with the indicator light on.
#3914 of 3964 Almost out of warranty... by jeffb0101 Jan 09, 2009 (5:28 pm)
Hello everyone. I have posted this on the warranty board, but I wanted to see if any fellow Millenia owners have any experience with this.   I have a 2002 Mazda Millenia. In about 7k miles when I reach 100k, my factory contract with Mazda will expire. I am only 24 and would like to keep this car for a couple more years so that I don't have to pay car payment. However, I do not want to spend excessive amounts of money on car repairs as I know that the parts for this car are expensive. Luckily, I do not have the Supercharged model, so I am thinking I should be able to find a reasonable price for this car vs. the s/c model.   What warranty companies do you guys recommend? Price is a major factor, but they need to be an "A" rated company.   I appreciate any and all suggestions.   Jeff Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Jan 12, 2009 10:31 am) bayareadave (Jan 12, 2009 10:50 am) gregg_vw (Jan 12, 2009 11:06 am)

Replying to: jeffb0101 (Jan 09, 2009 5:28 pm) If you have serviced it right, don't waste your money. Many people get 150K or better without significant problems. It is a well-built car, and should need nothing other than maintenance if you have taken care of it. Save the warranty dollars for a big repair just in case, but I'm betting you won't need to use them.

Replying to: jeffb0101 (Jan 09, 2009 5:28 pm) I think an ext warranty is a smart consideration. The only problem might be what they fix. I think they only pay if you have to bring the car in - e.g. check engine light or it breaks. They don't usually pay for maintenance, like struts, or what if a gasket starts leaking - will they fix that? This issue is, a luxury performance car like this is expensive to have worked on period, not just for break downs. Replies to this message: gregg_vw (Jan 12, 2009 11:06 am)

Replying to: bayareadave (Jan 12, 2009 10:50 am) Almost any car is expensive to maintain these days. First of all, find a good independent mechanic. Mazda dealer maintenance is out of sight. Secondly, before you buy another warranty that may or may not cover something that goes wrong, have that good independent guy go over the car first and see if he or she sees something coming down the pike.   I have had extended warranties (2) and never used them. I have owned 27 vehicles. In only one case did I wish I had had an extended warranty when I didn't. I am still many, many dollars ahead by having provided my own insurance (same with travel insurance, but that's another subject).   Cars today take care of you if you take care of them. The quality in general out there is outstanding, compared to the 70s and 80s. Neglect and abuse are things that can really get you into trouble.
#3918 of 3964 weird vibration by hankgrrl Jan 20, 2009 (4:16 pm)
I have a 2000 Millenia S. I haven't had problems with it for years. Now when the car is in drive and I am stopped I hear a cycling noise and then get a vibration that pulses from the front to the back. The a/c-heat is not on. Neither is the check engine light. Any help would be nice.
