#3945 of 3964 mazda millenia 01 need supercharger or bearing by kiminaro Aug 01, 2009 (6:48 am)
hello i have a mazda millenia 01 and the engine makes an unoticeable noise like the one made by the fan of the ac. The person who sold it to me told me its the supercharger but when i went to check at a mechanic the day i bought it the they told me it s a bearing that needs to be changed. Then a week later i went to my mechanic to change that but he told me it s the supercharger. Now i wonder if anyone really has a clue bcs the car drive very well and still has a lot of power. Plus the check engine like is on just a week after my mechanic removed it saying it was a stupid code.

Replying to: kiminaro (Aug 01, 2009 6:48 am) you need to do at least 2 things. first, find out what codes are stored(this is why your ce lite is on), and second, NEVER go back to that "mechanic" who says it was a stupid code. what he was actually saying was that he was too stupid to decipher the code, which in most cases can be found on the web, unless he dont read english. if your supercharger was bad, it would have no power, and smoke like there is no tomorrow.

#3947 of 3964 Mazda 1999 Millenia S Overheating Problem by eejames Aug 21, 2009 (6:57 pm)
Bought the car in 2007 from my son-in-laws VW dealership where he works as a finance manager. It has been great. Had a problem with the shifting panel in the car, coke spilled in it. Whole thing was replaced including spark plugs, and a new replacement head light to a tune of $1,200 which my son-in-law paid for and gave us a loaner car.   He called and said they couldn't fix it. That it was now overheating which was not a problem we had ever had, in fact, we had a new radiator put in about a year and a half ago. He wants us to have it towed to a Mazda dealership. He said he thinks it has something to do with the engine timing. He said diagnostics are different for each brand of car and Mazda would be able to fix it better.   Does anyone have an idea as to what could be making it overheat? Money is tight now and I am wondering at what kind of costs I am looking at? The diagostic at Mazda is $100 but goes toward the repairs.   Thanks for any light you can shed on this!   Elizabeth Replies to this message: lboogie (Aug 21, 2009 7:24 pm) lboogie (Aug 21, 2009 7:31 pm) eejames (Aug 22, 2009 7:19 am)

Replying to: eejames (Aug 21, 2009 6:57 pm) hey, it could be the water pump going out or the thremostat. no matter mazda going to charge u more for any thing on the s model. i have the 01 and i have problems trying to get it looked at and fix, but i'm like u. u pay a 100 for diagostic and the labor is going to do the rest. and if it's under the timing cover, u would have to change the timing belt also since they got eveything out of the way. all of that i think will be about 2500 with parts and labor and the car we got, a lot of people don't like working on them or don't have anyone that can work on them. i hope that was helpful.

Replying to: eejames (Aug 21, 2009 6:57 pm) also check and see if the fan is coming on. make sure it's plugged up and check to see if the relay is bad. Replies to this message: eejames (Aug 22, 2009 7:19 am)

Replying to: lboogie (Aug 21, 2009 7:31 pm) Thanks for the info! I forgot to mention though that they did replace the thermostat. I pray it doesn't cost 2,500 and that maybe it is something simple!   Elizabeth
#3951 of 3964 Engine Noise by 5th_mazda Sep 06, 2009 (7:25 pm)
My 2001 Millenia just starting making an engine noise that when I heard it for the first time sounded like rod/valve train knock or maybe an exhaust leak. The noise only happens when you first start the engine after it has sit (the longer it sits the longer the noise lasts). The noise goes away as you rev the engine up much past 1800-2000 rpm and completely goes away after the first few minutes of driving. I am not sure if cars even have harmonic balancers anymore but sounds just like one of those I had go bad on a 70's Chevy many years ago.

Replying to: kiminaro (Aug 01, 2009 6:48 am) Did you ever find out what was causing your noise? My post 3951 could be something similar, if not related to the supercharger, as mine is the 2.5. I will let you know if I learn anything as I may bring it in soon. Like this car way too much to let it go on much longer without knowing and risking damage.

Replying to: krumtx (Aug 06, 2009 2:23 pm) hello thx very much for the answer.  you were right about the mechanic. I went to the dealer and they told me it was my catalytic converter. About the noise they said it comes from the supercharger in deed but it is still good for now. Now i am wondering. Can i put a 97 supercharger on my 01 millenia S????   Another thing, my air bag light started flashing and it won't stop. And when i went to the dealer it wasn t flashing anymore. So they did not see anything. ANy ideas??? thx

Replying to: 5th_mazda (Sep 06, 2009 7:32 pm) to 5th mazda, it is the supercharger that makes noise. THey say it hasn't started to take oil yet so it is good until then. Now i am looking for a place where to buy a cheap supercharger that matches my 01 millenia s.
