Replying to: tomkozski (Oct 26, 2007 1:41 pm) Thanks for the response. I did see something about this in the manual, but the sounds is quite loud. It also makes my car shake a bit when it turns off. What is that about? Replies to this message: pf_flyer (Oct 30, 2007 11:28 am)

#140 of 155 Start up grind by carrie8 Nov 19, 2007 (8:43 am)
My daughter is on the verge of an 05 Mazda3 she's fallen in love with. I'm hesitant because this particular car has a kind of high pitched grinding sound when she starts it. It stops in a few seconds, but it sounds metal on metal. What is it? Replies to this message: autonomous (Nov 19, 2007 12:41 pm)

#142 of 155 Installing a 2007 Mazda3 Automatic Climate Control by dbeepath Nov 27, 2007 (8:34 am)
Hi Everyone,   Does anyone know if it is possible to change the manual climate control on a 2007 Mazda 3 to an automatic climate control unit? Replies to this message: gordonwd (Nov 28, 2007 9:03 am)

Replying to: dbeepath (Nov 27, 2007 8:34 am) Almost certainly not. Auto climate systems use a bunch of external and internal sensors -- even one to detect sunlight through the glass -- to operate and a car without auto climate would not have these sensors and the extra wiring, etc. Then you'd also have to change the panel with all the control knobs since those are different for the auto-climate too, not to mention the module that has the control logic in it.

Replying to: tomkozski (Oct 26, 2007 1:41 pm) I just bought an 08 Mazda 3 i touring. I also noticed that when I have the A/C running, the compressor (at least it sounds like it) cycles on and off and is quite loud. I figured this was normal but then got paranoid w/ it being a new car and expecting it to be quieter. I also noticed that on certain settings, the a/c comes on automatically. I am just getting familar w/ all the details of the car yet.
#145 of 155 mazda 3 06 AC compressor discrepancies..9/1/05..7/1/05? by remys Jul 08, 2008 (6:51 pm)
So, i have a Mazda 3i 06 and recently my AC compressor died..its out of warranty..and according to the dealer, they wanted $1555 to replace the compressor, pully, and recharge.   anyways, i found a good mechanic to do the work, but I have been having a difficult time trying to find a used compressor for my 06 3. all of the ones I am finding on ebay are specifically stating that they are for 06 models FROM 9/1/05   ...this is a problem..my car is 7/1/05.   now WHY is this a problem? im not sure..according to everyone selling these ac compressors..they all have this listed in their ad.   anyone have any clues as to why I couldnt use one of these in my car? anyone know WHERE i can find one that WILL work in my car? thanks so much for the help..hope im in the right place!

Replying to: remys (Jul 08, 2008 6:51 pm) It's probably either due to the mounting, or due to the fact that the compressor has been improved. Also there are two different engines sizes that year.   If your compressor actually seized, putting on a new compressor alone will not solve your problems, as debris has contaminated the entire system. So you'll need to flush the entire system and probably replace all the components.    If the compressor did not seize, you still need to replace more parts than just the compressor such as the receiver dryer. If the dryer dissicant (drying material) has burst inside, then the expansion valve is contaminated.   Replacing the dryer is a must. And of course recharge, etc, which should be done by a professional.   The dealer's price is high, since the compressor is about $500, the dryer $75, + refrigerant and labor. Seems like if you shopped around you could get a better deal from a professional AC shop. Working on your own AC if you don't have the right tools can be very dangerous.
