#25 of 96 It's likely the battery by milkman1 Jun 19, 2008 (5:50 pm)
You just described what happened to my 03 Mazda 6 back in 07. Sounds like that's how long the original battery will last. Depending on your situation you may want to call the dealer and ask about it still being under warranty as the warranty is longer than the rest of the car if you read it. It's prorated. In my case, the dealer price was so high that the proration didn't offset the cost so I just got a battery at Sears. Only trick is the alarm hasn't been right since. No biggie though, the alarm just goes off when I open my trunk if I locked my doors with the remote beforehand

#27 of 96 05 Mazda6 will not start... by mscheller Jun 24, 2008 (6:32 pm)
I have a 05 Mazda 6 and love this car. Today I tried to start it and it would not start. the radio and lights went on so i didn't think it was the battery. I noticed while trying to start the engine the speedometer gauges jumped. I can hear the clicking as i tried to start it. Do you think this is a starter or a alternator issue? I'm bout to bring to a dealer and afraid they will try to convince me that all these other parts needs to be fixed that not related to the problem. Also, I've already installed a new battery, and the symptoms are still the same. I just want to be sure on what the problem with my car before i bring it in...Any advice? Thanks.

Replying to: ziggy68 (Apr 26, 2008 7:02 pm) Hey Thatguy,   I hope your problem has been fixed.   I started hearing a noise in my Marza6i as yours. In my case, the problem was related to the speed and it started knocking when reach 60m/h.   My problem has been fixed. It was the plastic tray, under the engine that was loose and tapped to the road, making a really weird noise.   Good luck, Andcal

Replying to: ziggy68 (Apr 26, 2008 7:02 pm) I have the same car... my engine started 'tapping' at about 75000 miles, and it only does so after 2500 RPMs. i took it to the dealer for diagnosis and they had no idea, they wanted to put a whole new engine in it, $7000. i think the car is only worth about 9000. ive taken it to several smaller shops and no one seems to want to work on it, its an 'exotic' engine. one guy told me that they are build pretty well and when you hear a noise coming from the engine, its usually too late to save it. im trying to find something to add to the engine to quiet it down long enough for me to trade it in!! how is it going for your car?

Replying to: bensdisk (Jun 23, 2008 4:25 pm) Hey,   You gotta check out this great website to find a good engine. My Mazda6 engine blew because of a stuck PCV valve, and I found a great engine on this site. I'm from Michigan also, but I found my low mileage 3.0L engine in South Dakota for only $900 + $250 shipping.   Oh, here is the website: www.car-part.com. It has a great search engine for salvage parts for any year and model of car...and shows results by price or distance, whichever you choose. Contact numbers (usually toll-free) and websites for the yards are right there for your convenience. A lot of yards are connected to this, so you'll get plenty of results! Good luck!
#32 of 96 Where are the oxygen sensors located on Mazda6 3.0L? by pianoman4jc Jul 12, 2008 (12:09 am)

Replying to: ericzoom (Jul 12, 2008 5:29 am) "Ericzoom", Thanks a million!   So..., I see there are 4 (four) individual part numbers for the sensors. Which P/N is for the one NOT mounted on the engine, but actually in the exhaust on the driver's side pipe. I've got the engine out and it's staring me in the face!   ALSO, can I use a universal four-wire sensor for this application?   Thanks to any who can help
