#2551 of 2590 HVAC question by scottmsimpson Jun 25, 2009 (7:52 am)
Our 2005 M6 seems to have the heat stuck on all the time. Now that it is hot, the AC can't keep up. It runs full blast and doesn't really cool the car. The strange thing I notice is that when it is cool outside, (50-60F) and I hit the auto climate button, then press the AC button to turn off the AC, the air coming out of the vents is warm, much warmer that ambient. I took it back for this last year, and the techs went over the AC system, as it wasn't completely full, and recharged the system. I pointed out this same heat thing at that time, they didn't address it, only played with the AC system. I still think some valve is stuck so that heat is always being added to ambient air, even when not needed. Anyone seen anything like this? Or know how ambient air is routed thru the heater?

Replying to: scottmsimpson (Jun 25, 2009 7:52 am) I had a similar problem, and the dealer discovered a malfunctioning blend door actuator. Basically, it froze up on me, causing the outside air to be drawn in at all times, blowing warm air in mo matter what the outside or inside temperature was. This just happened two months ago, and the dealer was able to loosen the hinges to the door and lube it, and it's been working ever since. They did mention that if it happens again, the actuator would be replaced. It's a cheap part, but they also said that labor will be at least 6 hours, since they'd have to tear the dash apart to replace it.
#2553 of 2590 Mazda 6, delay in A/C kicking in by sjhollon Jul 02, 2009 (6:54 am)
I have an '03 4 cyl Mazda 6 that has an issue with the A/C. It will only kick-in after 15-30 minutes from when I start the car. Once it starts, it has no problem cooling the car. This is a manual A/C. Has anyone encountered this issue. I am hoping to avoid an expensive repair if at all possible. Thanks for your help.
#2554 of 2590 normal transmission behavior?? by mtaylor3 Jul 02, 2009 (4:35 pm)
I have an '09 Mazda6i with the 5-speed auto transmission. Do any of you find this transmission to be really aggressive in downshifting when coming to a stop? Even when coming to a slow stop, when the transmission downshifts it's aggressive enough that I can feel myself shift forward in the seat slightly. The shifting seems smooth enough, and there aren't any strange noises, but this has me a little concerned. I can't remember having driven an automatic that makes me feel like the engine and transmission are doing more to stop the car than the brakes. I've also noticed that it tends to gear "hunt" a lot under light throttle at low speeds (say 20-40 mph). I'm hoping this is normal behavior for this transmission, but since I've only had one other car (out of 9) with an automatic, I don't have a lot to compare to. Do any of you share this experience, or might I need to get this checked out?

Replying to: lg2207 (Jun 23, 2009 5:40 pm) I have an 04 6 waggon v-6 this happened at 10,000miles now 50,000miles fule pump went bad. Thats it on any problems............... Have them check ALL the grounding cables and re "flash" the computer. I had all the lights come on and the trans banging in and out of gear. This solved my issue. Loose ground wire I think by the passenger front tire. Side note this happened early in the morning with corn fields as far as the eye could see.... UFO.?
#2556 of 2590 Mazda 6 V6 auto, Grinding Noise by rishmawi Jul 17, 2009 (9:04 pm)
I have a 2005 mazda 6 V6 with automatic transmission. Today, when I first turned on the car, and I switched to drive, I heard a weird rattling sound, which sounded like it came from underneath the car (I am not 100% sure of that). To me the noise sounded like gears grinding against each other, but I am not too sure. The sound disappeared after I accelerated, but came back after I stopped. The sound completely disappears after some driving, but it comes back if I turn off the car for a while. The car seems to drive like normal except for that weird noise. Any help is appreciated.

#2557 of 2590 Mazda6 AT by jimj_cal Jul 22, 2009 (5:45 am)
I have a 2007 mazda6 with 54,000 miles on it. Yesterday while driving the AT light came on in the message center. The manual says this can be caused by hot tranny fluid or an electrical problem. Anyone have any similar experiences or ideas what could be wrong. It doesn't appear to be hot tranny fluid because the light reappeared this morning when I restarted the car! Thanks, JimJ
#2558 of 2590 Re: Mazda 6 V6 auto, Grinding Noise [rishmawi] by slickdog Jul 23, 2009 (9:28 am)
Replying to: rishmawi (Jul 17, 2009 9:04 pm) Could be a loose heat shield on the exhaust, I live in the NE and one of mine rusted loose after 4 years (had this problem on all of my other cars too). They usually make rattling noise when the engine is at or near idle and sometimes sound like grinding. If that's your problem they can either be removed or banded together (if it is one which has a top and bottom half). It's an easy DIY job or your mechanic should be willing to fix it cheaply.
#2559 of 2590 My Motor Blower Fan by apollo5317 Aug 04, 2009 (3:36 pm)
I got a 04 Mazda 6 with alotta miles lol. I don't get any air coming out for my a/c and heat so im thinking it was my Motor Blower Fan. I orders that part but when it comes in ima replace it myself. Does anyone know exactly where its located in the dash itself? Im thinkin its in the centerconsole and I been lookin all over the net and I get nothing. Must be a rare part that breaks cause autozone can't even order it. Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Aug 04, 2009 4:58 pm) venture (Aug 04, 2009 6:58 pm)

Replying to: apollo5317 (Aug 04, 2009 3:36 pm) It's usually behind the glovebox.
