#2577 of 2589 Throddle body, anyone? by amie1 Oct 13, 2009 (5:05 am)
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem...My engine light came on in my 2003 Mazda 6 (manual v6) just when I needed an inspection for plate renewal, of course. Took it to the dealer, where my car spent almost a month and about a thousand dollars, which would be no huge deal except the light was still on. They said they had no clue what was wrong.   Next I took it to another place (not a dealer) where they informed me of a service bullatin out about the throddle body on my car being bad.   Took my car to a different dealer where they informed me nothing about this problem even when I directly asked. My car was in and out of the shop for a week and a half (fixing many other "possible problems"), where it cost me a couple of thousands of dollars. Ultimately, they ended up replacing the throddle body in my car, problem fixed finally. Oh, I forgot to tell say that, somehow, the last time I brought my car home after the flipping light went off finally, I now had an anti-freeze leak and had to take it right back that same evening for another $600 dollar repair. I also failed to mention the cost for fixing all of the tickets for expired plates...
#2578 of 2589 Punctured Door Rear Door Panel - Does Anyone Know The Cost To Repair? by ambrosia Oct 24, 2009 (4:04 pm)
I was hauling some very long items in the back seat of my 09 Mazda6 and inadvertently punctured the driver's side rear door panel. Its a small tear but its noticeable as the door panel is black and the white material behind it is visible.   Can this be repaired or will that panel have to be replaced? Does anyone know the cost to replace the panel and if this is something that I can do myself or if I will have to get it done by a professional? Its a small thing but I can't stand my new car looking banged up.
#2579 of 2589 Need help locating Ignition coil #4 by mocredible Nov 01, 2009 (2:27 pm)
Okay, my check engine light came on after trying to accelerate. The car began to hessitate. I got a read out, and its the ignition coil that supposebly needs to be replaced, its cyclinder number 4. Im trying to do this myself. I had the same issue before, and replaced it at the front of the engine.   I need to know which cylinder #4 would be? If it is located at the back of the engine, would this be difficult to do by myself? Taking off the intake manifold?   Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Replying to: mazda6iguy (Jan 29, 2007 6:39 pm) AH! I joined JUST to tell you the solution to this (I realize it's an old post)   Under your car, right up near the radiator under the oil pan there's a thin piece of black plastic (aerodynamic something) with bolts that perpetually come lose and cause the piece of plastic to vibrate at speeds around 75-80.   Hope this helps!!   S.
#2581 of 2589 Snow tires for Mazda 6 by oldcableguy Nov 05, 2009 (1:46 pm)
Will these snow tires (P205/55/R16) winter tires from a Mazda 3 fit a 2009 Mazda 6 with 17 inch wheels. I understand this will impact speedometer accurracy but the affordibility is making them look attractive.
#2582 of 2589 Tires for 2006 Mazda 6 by alw24fan Nov 10, 2009 (9:03 pm)
Can anyone recommend some tires for this car. I am considering the Michelin Primacy MXV4. I am just now replacing the OEM tires that are on this car. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: mz6greyghost (Nov 11, 2009 4:49 am) des5 (Nov 11, 2009 8:14 am)

Replying to: alw24fan (Nov 10, 2009 9:03 pm) Will any winter driving be involved? What size wheel do you currently have? Is your driving style aggressive or more relaxed?   Any more info would help, since there are literally hundreds of choices for this car.

Replying to: alw24fan (Nov 10, 2009 9:03 pm) I strongly recommend Nexen N2000 tires. I've had them for 30K mi so far, replaced the OEM Michelins from 2005. Dramatically better handling, and about 1/3 the cost if purchased on-line.
#2585 of 2589 Tires for 6 by scottmsimpson Nov 11, 2009 (10:24 am)
I have General Exclaim UHP''s. These are an excellent tire for the price. Stick like glue wet or dry. Summer tire, not for snow.  I have Blizzaks on Mazda 3 Alloys for winter. Also a great tire. No need for an SUV or 4WD, just get a good set of winter tires. I can drive like it's summer
#2586 of 2589 Zoom Zoom??? by mazhater Nov 15, 2009 (12:51 pm)
Anyone having A/C problems? I turned mine on for the first time and got sprayed with water. The center of the dashboard gets soaked with condensation. Dealership didn't have a clue.
