Can anyone tell me how to replace the cabin filter. My Honda has it behind the glove box and is an easy change. Many thanks.

Need Mazda service in West Los Angeles by lmossmd

Oddly enough, there's no Mazda dealer in West Los Angeles who does repairs or maintenance. Can anyone recommend an alternative in the area?
 
thanks

it is on the left( drivers side i think)
3. remove the under cover
4. disconnect the evaporator temperature sensor connector
5. disconnect the power MOS FET connector (Full-auto air conditioner)
6. remove in order a) cover(in the pic it looks like it is on the side b) air filter (1)-bottom one) c) air filter (2)top one

Thanks athenasius, but I want to know how to change the cabin pollen filter, not the air filter.

no problem 'evped'. but i guess you missed the comment 'now the inside car' the battery disconnect is always for precaution. the lower cover in the lower cover where you gas peddle foot would touch. let me know. the cover in '6.' is the cover that is holding in the pollen filter. there seems to be one screw. the cover seems to be up and down(vert).

I still can't find the filter. I took off the panel next to the gas pedal and ran into a dead end. Any other help would be appreciated. I also cannot find anything in the owner's amnual about it.

I have the factory shop manual, but have never done it myself. It says on page 07-11-13 to 1) remove battery cover 2) disconnect neg cable 3) remove under cover 4) disconnect evaporator temp sensor connector 5) remover MOS FET connector (if climate control version) 6) remove filter cover 7) remove lower half of filter 8) remove upper half of filter 9) install in reverse order. Good luck!

Maintenance Cost. by castg1

Hi, presently we are having the following done at the dealership.
 
1. change oil as per maintenance schedule
2. yearly inspection/checkup of brakes
3. and other maintenance listed in the book.. supposedly we needed to do to satisfy warranty conditions.
 
We find the above can be quite expensive. I can definetely do the above myself (have the necessary tools..skill set) etc..
 
Is there anyone doing these maintenance themselves? and how do you 'prove' to mazda that you are doing the scheduled maintenance? Do you show receipts? etc..?
 
Thanks.

Rain sensing wipers by zbx
Oct 06, 2007 (3:15 pm)

Does this make sense? I phoned the dealer to say I wanted the rain sensing wipers adjusted to be more sensitive, but they flatly answered that they can't do it. Aside from turning the sensitivity knob, is the only way to increase the sensitivity by keeping the windshield clean?
