You are in the Mazda 626 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
I have a 1999, with 204,000 lady driven miles on it. This car is immaculate, never missed a service etc. NOW the mechanic is telling me it needs a new engine!!!! it is making a noise and it sounds like it's by the fan belt, not a squeal and when the engine is rev-ed or just simply going faster the sound goes away. I'm afraid because I'm a woman that I might be cheated. The timing belt is new maybe only a few thousand KMS. and the funny part is that the car was making this noise when it was in last and they never said nothing about it then??? I just realized it was still noisy when it came back and thought oh well it's just a belt. Any thoughts. Jill

Replying to: jill10 (Dec 18, 2006 9:44 am) Get another opinion on the engine condition. As a minimum, they should do a compression and leakdown test on the engine. These are good indicators of the engine's health. I have a '99 ES V6 with 161k miles and the engine is strong as new. |

| I have a 1996 Mazda 626 with a bad engine. It has the 2.0L 4 cyl. with a manual transmission. It seems the only engine that will work is a 1996 or 1997 model engine. I can buy a 1994 2.0l worth the money. What is the difference in these engines? Both are DOHC engines and look the same. I have looked at the parts web sites and all the engine gaskets, timing belt and internal engine stuff is the same. The distributors are different but they use the same mounting gasket, that would make me think you could change out the distributors. So if I have a complete 1994 model car can I put the engine out of it in the 1996 model and get it to run? Thanks for the help! | |
my husband took my 2006 hhr to the dealer and guess what they said nothing was wrong with the roters,just that i brake to hard and that can cause it to shake,thats a lie.i keep reading about others with the same problem.Chevy could do better than this.And yes my car still shakes, and i dont put the brakes on hard.i never had a  but i got one now.

I have a mazda 1991 626 with 100000+ miles on it. There is a loud ticking coming form the rocker arms. I just got done cleaning all the HLA's and i filled the reseves with new oil. and the sound got even worse. Any help would be great |

I just bought a used 626 LX with 105,000 miles and it is an automatic. I was wondering if anyone has this problem. It seems like the transmission is not going into overdrive. I go about 65 and the RPM is about 3000, that seems high to me. Also has anyone replaced the instrument planel light? Thanks.
