#35 of 96 Update on my Mazda6 by rainsmoker79 Jul 22, 2008 (8:16 am)
Well, as i previously posted, i had a Mazda 6 with a tap in the engine, no one wanted to dig into it and pinpoint the problem. the only solution i got was a new engine costing 7000, the car is only worth about 7000 and i still owed 8000 on it. anyway, i poured some 'motor honey' in the engine and over the next few days the knock wasnt as loud and didnt start until about 3500-4000 RPMs, as opposed to it being 2500 before the additive. I quieted it enough to trade it in, they gave me 7000 for it!! i recommend the motor honey for all your engine tapping needs. it looks just like honey and you add it with about 3 quarts of oil. its not a permanent soultion, but it worked long enough for me to get rid of the car for a good deal. im driveing a honda now!

Replying to: rainsmoker79 (Jul 22, 2008 8:18 am) What kind of battery did you get that cost $120? I paid $83 installed for my Duralast battery at Autozone, back in Feb. Replies to this message: rainsmoker79 (Jul 24, 2008 9:42 am)

#39 of 96 2004 Mazda 6s 3.0L Problems PLEASE HELP by mazda6kt Oct 27, 2008 (6:40 am)
My car recently started to drive really strange. My check engine light will come on and off whenever it feels like. But I have aftermarket parts on my car, so I figured some sensors were just out of whack. Well, yesterday, my car started to like jump while I was driving and also while it was idleing, almost like it was going to stall. When I am driving, I will push on the gas to accelerate and the RPMs will go up but it will take a few seconds for my car to actually gain speed. I am thinking it is either an oxygen sensor or something with my fuel. Any suggestions?
#40 of 96 Mazda 6 SD (2003) engine problems at 50,000miles by cardiff Nov 04, 2008 (4:02 am)
Hi all. Have rather a large issue I was after some help with... Last week, engine started to rattle then smoke, so I stopped and pulled over to find it was out of oil (I check it fortnightly).I filled it up and then drove it home.The next day on the way to the garage it just stopped. Since then the RAC and mechanics have looked at it and say the engine is irreparable. I have had it for 3 months and 1 week - the used car warranty? 3 months... Any suggestions about how to go about headhunting for my money? Anyone else heard of these issues at 50,000miles, so I have more ammunition when I go in? Cheers.

Replying to: cardiff (Nov 04, 2008 4:02 am) My 07 Mazda 6 did the same thing. I'm an engineer a mechanic and a racecar driver. I know that Mazda has a problem as do they. But they would not cover the problem. The believed the dirt bag dealer Dworkin Chevy Mazda. So I fixed it myself. Runs great now. Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Nov 04, 2008 9:39 am)

Replying to: racefanf1 (Nov 04, 2008 4:58 am) The believed the dirt bag dealer Dworkin Chevy Mazda   Hmmmm....you're a race car driver...own a sporty car....engineer ...and yet you claim you are smarter then the manufacturer who built it....yeah, I can see why they didn't want to cover it. So, since the mfgr proved you abused it, that makes the dealer "dirt bag's" Yeah, ok, that makes total sense.   If abuse was proved, you lose. Apparently that's what happened. If you can prove you did not abuse it, which since you are sooo smart, you should have done.
#43 of 96 many problems mazda 6 03 plate by scotsman6 Nov 19, 2008 (12:21 pm)
At six months old was rusting at back wheel arches, back wings were cut off and replaced under warranty. Then water started coming in through the repair. Into dealer three times before finally fixed . Now i have a rattling noise from the engine 64000 on the clock, and now the battery seems to have went too, it is also going through lots of oil but no sign of a leak,time for a trade in I think to something more reliable.

Replying to: cardiff (Nov 04, 2008 4:02 am) I don't know about the overseas Mazda6, but here in the states that seems to be a well known problem associated with the PCV valve malfunctioning. I know it's probably a waste of time, but you can see if the place you bought it from will do anything for you.
