Mazda has made an urgent call to owners of Mazda 3, Mazda 5, Mazda 6 and Mazda 6 Wagon powered by the RF engine and DPF filter for a default which can cause a traffic accident.
The problem lies in the operating mode of the particulate filter (DPF). It can cause the engine not to stop immediately after removing the key from the ignition, but the most dangerous thing is that it can cause the engine to tend to increase its speed during normal driving, causing the risk of an accident.. For this last reason, it has been included in the unsafe product alert network coordinated by the National Consumer Institute (INC) of the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs.
The INC does not detail the number of affected vehicles or their dates of manufacture, sale or chassis numbers. As is usually the case in these cases, the official Mazda website does not offer any information in this regard either. Mazda will contact all affected owners.

NOT BUYING MAZDA DIESEL IS THE BEST SOLUTION.
MAZDA DIESEL PROBLEMS:
Undoubtedly, this car causes problems due to the general malfunction, it has a DPF particulate filter.
1) You have to check the oil level every day
2) Did you know that the so-called maintenance-free particulate filter simply does not regenerate while driving?
3) the model has been included in the list of unsafe products coordinated by the National Consumer Institute
4) the model with DPF, is not only a danger for the occupants of the vehicle but it is also a danger for the rest of the users of the public road
5) Crankcase oil is mixed with diesel
6) You may have to change the oil every 1.000 km (arprx. 190 Euros)
7) Consumption is high, much more than what the official propaganda says
8)The suspension is too stiff
9)Paint flakes just by looking
10) In short, a JEWEL, buy it and enjoy all these advantages
5) NEVER AGAIN MAZDA
You have no fucking idea, ALL cars now have a DPF filter.
1/ Checking the oil is a lie, there is no oil loss and no oil consumption either, stop fooling around.
2/ Did you know that the particulate filter DOES regenerate while it's running, but it takes about 30 minutes or so for it to regenerate..., how little do you know, smart guy.
3/ The model has been included in your list of insecure products….to invent another storyteller.
4/ The model with DPF is a danger in your dreams, since you show that you have no idea how the DPF regenerates.
5/ Is crankcase oil mixed with diesel? Where do you get that from the bar mechanic on the corner, right? LOL
6/Oil changes every 1000km and 190 euros? My mother, how abnormal you are….I don't even answer you because I would write you a book.
7/ The consumptions are a lot higher, if you are a useless person who has no idea how to drive, don't blame the brand, I do make the consumption of the brand very, very approximate, but you have to know how to drive and drive economically.
8/ the suspension is comfortable and dynamic and very stable in the curves, now that you want a chewing gum suspension then buy a 2 cv….
9/ Yes, of course the paint is chipping, it's that your car was painted with school paints and that's why that happens….silly as hell.
10/In short, you come here explaining false things and saying things that you have no fucking idea...
11/ NEVER AGAIN MAZDA? perfect very well, that is that honey was not made for the mouth of the ass.
I don't know whether to waste time responding to someone so disrespectful, but well... to start with, not all cars have DPF, but rather all those Diesels that emit more than 0,03 g/km of particles according to the EURO IV standard.
1- Cars that fail to regenerate the DPF have a tendency to raise the oil level
3- Yes, it was included in its day on that list, like many other cars from many manufacturers.
5- Believe it or not, it happens with some frequency, motivated by lack of tightness in heaters, segments in poor condition or … failed DPF regeneration.
everything that Fernando says has happened to me, I have a 6 MAZDA121 DIESEL 2005CV, by the way, mazda has never called me for a review
From how you defend Mazda, I deduce that you must have some interest, I don't know, maybe you're even part of the company. as an employee or whatever, but frankly I don't care, that's if I'm going to clarify something for you, because of that fucking dpf my turbo broke, something that mazda has admitted, in spite of which and although I have a warranty extension I don't know They wanted to take charge, and a truck was about to pass me because the car literally stopped, the engine was unusable according to a judicial expert, and you know that all that Fernando had has come out in the trial exposed by the expert and as proof of the accusation is me, so try to inform your champion, and do not defend the indefensible
The kid will not have much idea of mechanics, but he is right in saying that Mazda is shit, and not precisely because of the particulate filter, but because of its shitty engines directly, gearbox, following by its poopy suspensions and its Chinese car finishes…so you are defending a real shit car brand that has fooled most people into believing that it is a brand of the best.
I DON'T ANSWER TO ANYONE. TELL MY RECENT STORY IN FACT MY MAZDA 6 DOES NOT LEAVE THE WORKSHOP BECAUSE I SIGNED AS I WAS ENTERING THE SHOP ON APRIL 10.
MY TURBO AND CRANKSHAFT BREAK (THAT THE HOUSE TELLS ME) DO I TRUST MAZDA?
IT TAKES 7 WEEKS TO GIVE ME A VERBAL BUDGET OF 6400 EUROS, I FIND IT OFFENSIVE AND PROTEST, THEN THEY TELL ME EVERYTHING VERBALLY THAT (AFTER CALLING CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES) THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LOOK WITH THE HOUSE TO SEE IF THEY CAN REDUCE SOMETHING AND THE CSA IS IN CHARGE OF 20% AND THE CONCESSIONAIRE OF 10%. We stayed at 4500 EUROS.
THEORETICALLY WE HAVE SIGNED ON THE NETRADA SHEET THAT WE WAIVE THE BUDGET BUT SINCE THE FIGURES DO NOT SQUARE ME THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME ALMOST 1200 EUROS FOR THE WORKS TO ESTIMATE THE BREAKDOWN. AND SINCE WE DON'T ACCEPT, I PRETEND TO TAKE THE CAR TO A SCRAP YARD AND THEY DON'T LEAVE ME FOR THE BLESSED SIGNATURE AND AS LONG AS I DON'T PAY THE 1200 EUROS OF "A BUDGET THAT THEORETICALLY WE HAD GIVEN UP" (THIS IS CALLED GOOD FAITH OF THE HOUSE DUE TO THE HIGH AMOUNT OF THE REPAIR.
I JUST WANT TO GET MY CAR OUT OF THIS ALI-BABA CAVE. AFTER WHAT I'VE READ, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ALLOW MAZDA TO BE OPEN IN SPAIN.
I HAVE NO MORE INTEREST THAN TO FORGET ABOUT THIS NIGHTMARE AND THAT MAZDA DOESN'T STAY WITH "MY CAR"
I ACCEPT TIPS TO GET OUT OF THE JAM THANK YOU I NEED THEM
MY STORY IS LONG AND BAD, READ IT IN ITS ENTIRETY, IT'S WORTH IT...
Hi, I have been reading the comments for 10 minutes one by one and 90% of the opinions are all negative or regular. I tell you my story today 18.1.2016
I have a Mazda 626 2.0 Turbo Diesel 101cv I think it is from the year 98. I bought it in July of last year (2015) with 218.000km from a gypsy, and it is not to insult and disrespect, but to a gypsy for €1200. Well, in the month of July, everything was fine, until August 1st when a snitch comes out, who knows what the hell it is, but it starts to lose power and in fourth gear I was going 45km/h and I didn't want to get hot because it's not good, so I spoke directly with the gypsy and he came willingly to look at it, he helped me or at least it seemed so and he "solved" the problem, or so it seemed, then a week later the problem started again but this time it lost power but did not go 45km /h, directly it did not go over 90km/h, no matter how much more it was for a car like this with this power, a 2.000 because I did not want to and in the end I did not decide to push more and since I am not well on money I left it month after month and Well, that problem did not happen or at least it seemed that way. That is, to have a new battery and use the car every day to Alcalá de Henares, where I am, it is a 20-minute drive. Well, of course, it was already difficult for him to start, he had to press the clutch because it is supposed to help a diesel start by pressing the clutch, as several mechanics have been telling me over the years. Well, well, it arrives today as I indicated at the beginning and since I have a Mercedes Benz MB 180 D van without insurance and without ITV with all my things from the past, well, sometimes it is difficult to start and I need the pliers to give a little "joy" « to the battery of the van, so of course today I plug it in as usual and I always put it between 1.500rpm to recharge the van battery a bit, so I always start there and end between 2.000rpm and 2.500rpm maximum so that it can and gives me good results as it always gave me back. Well, it arrives today and according to the release of 2.000rpm and it goes up to 6.000RPM!!!! YES YES, WHAT YOU READ, 6.000RPM, I was going crazy looking to see what could happen and it kept revving and in the end I decided to stop the engine thinking that removing the ignition could "solve" it, because even then the 6.000 revs were not lowered! !!. I was blowing white smoke like crazy, but like crazy as if it were the end of the world and I'm not exaggerating, you couldn't see anything, and of course when I went to disconnect the car battery, the tweezers and so on continued without stopping and I with the hands in the face and almost crying without knowing what to do, and after half a minute it stops completely, which happens at the end, because the head gasket literally burst, the whole engine dripping, sounding like an express pot, etc... I look down and everything starts to pour out, the oil, the water, the brake fluid... And it's not a fantasy story, it's true what happened to me, so disappointed, sad, depressed and almost crying, I decided to put it aside in the parking lot that I used to park it together with the van, and you drag it dripping as if it were in labor parked on one side without being able to bother other cars in the future, if I speak in the future, because I can assure you that either I win the lottery or the car stays there forever, it's not even worth cutting. I am very disappointed with Mazda, even though it is a good brand and I have heard good opinions, but today… there are no positive comments, it is a shame since it is a good car. And for those who say that if I accelerate and so on, I want to remember that a car is not a toy and this is not Formula One. The oil was changed a week ago because I went to León and already in León it gave me problems, the same way back, but today the end has come. Too bad I don't have a photo right now, but if I could publish it, the engine is worse than chewing gum. I am very sorry but I will never buy a Mazda again. I don't know if the gypsy treated the car like shit, but from July to January that could happen to him from one moment to the next and it would burst, because the car practically didn't burn out because God didn't want it, well look it's over Mazda. And if someone thinks about between 2.000rpm and 2.500rpm that I usually put to be able to recharge the battery of the van that seems excessive, a van so old, from the year 92, that it is very difficult to start and with nothing the battery is discharged, so you will tell me.
Good night Xavier.
I'm sorry for what happened to you, but the most likely thing is that the turbo has broken. Many times the first thing that happens is that the car runs out of power, you turn it off and start again and it can be fixed temporarily. Turbos are cooled and lubricated by engine oil, some when ruptured, cause engine oil to enter the combustion chamber through the intake duct. Result; the engine begins to burn its own oil (which is supplied by the turbo) and revs to the top, until it finally bursts. You can't turn it off, because diesels don't use a spark for combustion, they stop because you cut off the diesel supply.
As advice in case someone happens to you, the only thing you can do is engage a high gear, step on the brake (if stopped) and stall the car.
I hope your luck changes.
Greetings.
The thing about the diesel mixed with the oil is true as a temple I have a mazda 6 diesel 120 hp and it makes me bitter first of all the timing belt washer that leaked oil then the particulate filter which in turn sent the turbo to hell and now with a new photo it consumes 1 liter of oil every thousand km traveled on highways. So it's not all lies
I have a mazda 5 sportive…and what it says in the article is precisely what has happened to me…I almost hit it,,,, I talked to mazda and they don't give me any qualms about that, as long as all the material costs and labor is on me...
I understand that Mazda had problems with the Aibar, which was failing. That is what the Ministry of Industry told me.
Well, I'm sorry. You have had bad luck. I have a Mazda 5 CRTD 143 with 2 and a half years and 52000 km and I have not had a single problem. The oil level has risen a little but nothing more. I am delighted with sliding doors as are my daughters.
Mazda's DPFs are gaining a sad reputation, but I don't think it's as alarming as Fernando says up there. Unfortunately when you buy a car you also buy tickets for the lottery of insufferable failures.
By the way, the unsafe product alert network includes any product that has a recognized defect until it is corrected. Many consumers will have bought products on that list and we will not even have known about it.
The alarming thing is that I've spent a bundle on a useless device. By the way, I have a healthy habit of directly asking anyone who drives a Mazda whenever I get a chance. THE SURPRISING THING IS THAT EVERYONE COMMENTS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND EVERYONE IS REGRETTING THEIR PURCHASE.
Manuel with 52.000 km, has not yet had problems with the wheels, one of two, or does not drive a Mazda 5 or is it a comment from someone interested.
By the way, MAZDA's satisfaction surveys should only be done to satisfied people, which will not be many, but will be all of those who make up the sample.
The correct question is who pays for these surreal surveys so brutally distant from reality?
It also happens that normally the people who express their opinion the most are those who are unhappy with the item they have paid for. Normally, people do not go on the Internet to tell how well it works for them, but to protest when it works badly for them. That is why sometimes a problem can seem much more widespread than it is.
On the other hand, you always have to "air" the information so that brands are aware that their image can tarnish.
He gave you every reason!
I am certain that no one buys a car if they are told to check the oil level every day, MORE THAN IF IT WAS AN OLD CAR. Therefore there is information that is deliberately hidden from the buyer. Do not worry, these things are solved in court. I will keep you informed of the meaning you obtain in the sentence.
Good morning Ferdinand,
I would appreciate contacting you since I have a Mazda 6 D/RF engine from 2007 and it seems that they are faulty in the full-fledged engine since I am looking for information in forums and they all suffer from the same (injectors, carbon and the crankshaft breakage outcome ).
I would appreciate being able to contact you, since I am willing to report.
Thank you very much
David
Hello david:
How did you go with the complaint? I bought a 6 hp mazda 143 months ago and the same thing happens to me. the crankshaft screwed up and shavings through the carter. I'm going to report the shop that sold it to me because they don't want to take responsibility for anything. What key evidence can I provide?
Your advice would be very helpful.
Thank you very much in advance. All the best
Well yes, we will wait for your news.
Greetings and good luck with your quest, these cases are usually long and cumbersome.
The longer and more cumbersome it is, the sweeter the victory will be
Hello Fernando, I don't know if you know that DPF filters are used by many brands such as Audi, VW and they are all having problems. Look at the forums and you will see… also like Mazda does, they are solving them, the vast majority of the time it is due to the fact that nobody reads the manuals and the conditions for the filter to work by burning the particles are not usually respected, apparently it is necessary roll with cars on the road and thus the filter at a certain constant speed is activated and discards the particles reducing pollution. People don't know and don't give the filter time to work. Mazda is the most reliable brand on the market according to numerous sources, to know how you treat your car, because I have had everything with 4 wheels and I would have a Mazda again... go to the reviews and take care of your car and if not better buy a bicycle ..
My comment is to break a spear in favor of Mazda. In my case, I have a 3 sedan 1.6 Diesel from 2004 with 70.000 km and the only problem I had was a switch that activates the reverse light, they changed it in less than an hour and it came under warranty. I suppose that like Fernando there will be other people who have had bad luck and feel cheated. The only negative thing I can say in almost five years is that the air conditioning does not cool as fast as in other cars, although on the other hand fuel consumption barely varies. The other small defect is in the bumpers and side protectors, very nice but ineffective, when someone parks next to you with little care, bun or scratch assured. I know that it is impossible to keep the car impeccable but in other brands it seems that they have thought more about those day-to-day knocks. Otherwise very satisfied so far. Does not consume anything (about 900 km tank). Sheet metal and paint, normal. Levels (water, oil, etc.) always in place. I have not had any problems with the baby seat either, as I have read in other forums.
Anyway, as they say up there, when you buy anything, it's a lottery, but if you think you've been cheated... Go for them!
Fernando, I have read your comments too late.
If I had read it before I would have sold the car, I mean.
Going up from Valencia and at the height of Tarragona, the DPF warning light comes on together with the stability control warning light and the electric motor failure warning light on my Mazda 6. I stop and immediately call Mazda Spain. Very carefully, they tell me how to force filter regeneration and tell me that the rest of the indicators light up as they are in series with the DPF one (I don't understand why?).
When I arrived in Barcelona and it was not resolved, I took it to the workshop. They hooked it up to the computer and couldn't regenerate the filter. They tell me that it has to be changed and that it costs 3000 euros (2100 for the filter and the rest for installation).
For more fun, I tell them that I have the two-year warranty extension that they offered me when I bought the car, and they tell me that it is not covered by warranty (I bought it in February 2009).
The one in the workshop insists that it is an engine design problem, but Mazda Spain does not accept it. In the workshop they tell me that I have been lucky, my car has 67000 km because they are entering it with the same problem and less than 40000.
I'm gathering the information to go to court.
All the points that Fernando indicates in his post are true, I can guarantee it. The Mazda 6 mount the same engines as the 5.
Greetings and continue publishing that the more information we have the better. I'll let you know how it ends.
That car is a major scam, and they are cheeky. By the way…did you take the car to the review that is mentioned in this ad?
Mazda 3 sport sedan diesel from 2006, 180.000 km and goes like silk. That is, if I don't use it to go down to buy bread, I use it for road trips.
Yes, take it. I have called Mazda customer service and the lady who assisted me told me to look at the extension conditions, which is not really an extension but insurance for some incidents. I have read the clauses and luckily it is a lie. The guarantee specifies a 3+2 guarantee, that is, 2 years over those given by Mazda, obviously then it indicates that it does not include: wheels, exhaust…. and other wear parts.
In the workshop they have confirmed that the guarantee is the same as that of the first three years but Mazda subcontracts it to an insurer and they do not pay or tie.
I had a mazda 626 v6 gasoline and I have done 350 km with it without problem, I change normal things with these km and I have decided to buy a mazda 000 crdt. After 6 days of having it, the DPF warning light comes on. I called Mazda and they told me that I had more km to regenerate the filter. every week the same operation. the tow truck has taken my car 4 times in 3 months to regenerate the filter until I get tired. He has offered to exchange my car for a gasoline one. I have changed it and after 2 years I am very happy with my gasoline Mazda 3. I have not had a single problem with it and it has 6 km.
How much money did you have to pay for the change? Because to me, to make the change they asked me for €6.000, let's go robbery, face uncovered. In other words, I give them my new car, which should have worked perfectly, I also give them €6.000 and in return they give me a new petrol one. Not only are they not ashamed, they don't know what that is. But do not worry, everyone already knows that you should not buy Mazda Diesel in any case, and just in case neither gasoline.
nothing to the reverse they have changed me a mazda 6 crdt of 9000 km for a mazda 6 2.0 gasoline of 14000km and they have given me 2 euros
and for a new one just like mine they asked me 2000 euros
wow! I'm hallucinating, I've been a forero all my life and with a Mazda, and I just realized this Fernando says: THE SURPRISING THING IS THAT EVERYONE COMMENTS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND EVERYONE IS REGRETTING THEIR PURCHASE, where he says everyone would be just him , because he is pasting and copying the same list and putting the Brand to give birth with the same text and different names everywhere, if you Google his list you will see the little job that this man with a thousand names is taking... what a hard face, What work are you taking? All brands have constant calls for review and according to statistics, Mazda is the one that has the least, which is why it is a leader in reliability. I would buy one again and despite this review, which according to My point of view is a point in favor...
I have a serious problem with a Mazda 6 diesel. I don't know the cause of the problem and the mechanics I took the car to didn't know how to solve the problem either. The engine runs normal when I start it and rev it up but when I idle it stops. Could you tell me what you think could be the problem?
Hola!
I have a Mazda 3 and it has 54.000 km and has never had any fault, it is simply EXCELLENT!! I am in Valencia, Venezuela and it consumes almost no gasoline, it is efficient, powerful, stable, it seems that one is in the first gear of an airplane. Nothing feels. I'm lovin 'it!!!!
Exactly compatriot, it is what can be deduced here and in the end, it is logical, these Japanese cars have been designed and manufactured to carry gasoline engines, the diesel in these cars have been grafts that quickly and without any type of tests have been adapted to European markets with their corresponding consequences. In the end, the best, are two euros difference for every 100 km. but tranquility in abundance with a gasoline… do you want a diesel? buy a Vag at your risk...
1oopre mind take care of your machines and think before giving a wrong judgment ps they are years of prievas to take it to the market
But what do you write with, fingers or stumps? Write well that you do not understand anything!
Hello good. The first thing I wanted to show my condolences to the people who are suffering the ordeal of a car with failures, it's a real bitch!
I am a mechanic for another major brand worldwide at a dealership in Madrid. I have always liked Mazda very much and in 2005 I decided to buy a Mazda3 1.6 petrol and I am truly delighted, it has some little things such as interior materials and others that could be improved , but I assure you that there are more expensive and prestigious brands that would have to improve more important things than Mazda. Simply with this comment as a professional, I want to say that the main fault of everything is in the diesel engine (of any brand, beware!), since no matter how much it has evolved in recent decades, it is still an engine for work, in fact trucks and tractors are mostly diesel and their maintenance is high. This is my experience for many years as a mechanic and user, for I will never buy a diesel unless I have to do 25.000 to 30.000 kilometers a year thereafter. The gasoline vehicle is usually much more reliable as a general rule.
PS: With all this, it is clear that there is always the exception of diesel engines that give a perfect result.
GREETINGS TO ALL.
Dear Mr. Fernando
We wish to respond to your statements from Mazda Automobiles Spain.
The DPF systems of the Mazda range have a similar operation to that of the rest of the brands. The behavior of the system is clearly indicated in the Owner's Manual and the oil change is recommended according to the scheduled maintenance tables also indicated in the same manual and which are not the ones you mention. The DPF filter does regenerate itself following the instructions that Mazda indicates in the owner's manual, and following these simple instructions the oil change is done within the normal cycles. Within the usual car maintenance process, and in the same way that the tire pressure level should be checked periodically, the oil level should be checked, checking that it remains within the established minimum and maximum levels.
Within Mazda's quality standards, and which includes activities related to the improvement of its products, both for future launches and for units already on the market, a call for review was carried out (for a series of units prior to 2009) to reprogram the engine control module and vary the operating strategy of the DPF (Particulate Filter) system. Since the launch of this intervention, in January 2009, 75% of the vehicles have already been reviewed and no accident related to the subject has been reported.
Mazda's way of proceeding in these reviews is by letter to all customers who own vehicles manufactured between certain dates. Mazda in these actions also complies with the legal framework (RD1801/2003.) and communicates to the National Consumer Institute (INC) the modifications that can make its range of vehicles safer. This Royal Decree establishes, among other things, the communication protocol through the alert network known as "Rapex", which is accessed through the internet page that the INC has for this purpose. As you can see, said website (which is the one you cite) lists these same actions that all brands carry out on a regular basis.
In addition, Mazda and the other manufacturers that legally hold customer data communicate through letters and phone calls so that improvements can be made in a minimum amount of time, causing as little inconvenience as possible and, obviously, without no cost. In this communication, Mazda tries to inform the customer about the nature of the intervention to be carried out and also warns of the risks of not carrying it out, including its extremes. It also includes the way to proceed to obtain extended information, through its Customer Service Center. The performance of interventions is controlled at all times by Mazda and its network of Dealers and supervised by the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs. For all these reasons, Mazda is proud of its recognized quality and wants its customers and the general public to highly appreciate its concern to market better and safer vehicles.
Continuing with his allegations, he mentions the consumption section. We invite you to check the differences that all the specialized media publish when they test one of our cars. You will be able to see how the differences, if any, are due to the differences in use between carrying out the test and the simulation cycle that legally has to be carried out, and which in any case are very small.
He also makes generic accusations about the paint on our cars. Our studies do not reveal any specific problem in this section
Either way, our goal is to achieve the highest satisfaction among our customers. If you (or someone you know) would like to notify us of any incident, we are at your disposal at our Customer Service center (902345456 / maecac@mazdaeur.com)
Sincerely,
Mazda Automobiles Spain
Well, at least it seems that Mazda is aware of the user complaints
Lords of Mazda:
I am very happy that they show their faces.
I have had a problem after the review that indicates with the DPF filter. I have called 902 which has been indicated 3 times, 1 time to technical assistance and I have written 4 letters, I suppose they already know who I am. Answers obtained none acceptable: giving long and vague answers and I pay the bill, of course! . The best was in writing to one of my letters in which they tell me that one of the conditions for the warranty to cover me is to pass all the maintenance checks at official dealers, THING THAT YOU DO AND THEY CAN CHECK…. it is assumed.
The writing they have done is very nice, but users need FACTS and not good words.
Because not instead of writing here they comply with the maintenance contracts instead of subcontracting them MONDIAL ASISTANCE that takes care of what it wants and without criteria.
If you want to clarify the issue, you already know my contact details.
Hello, I have a mazda3 1.6 crtd, 2005 without PDF, with 174.000 km, which is incredible, I am very happy with it. It has had two breakdowns under warranty (alternator and an injector, it had 12.000 km) and the rest is magnificent, it runs, it spends little, it clings desperately and after almost 5 years I still like it. Very happy with it, in 2008 I bought a mazda2 1.4 diesel, and tachan, I don't like it, with 27.000 km, my garage is full of oil stains, they have already changed a turbo hose and the rocker arm gasket, it seems that they no longer It leaks oil, but the most irritating thing is a little tug that gives over 2.200 rpm that the Mazda Granada dealer (par21 engine) is absolutely incapable of solving. I also have to say that in this dealership they are very prone to blame nonsense on the fact that we don't know how to drive or that if your wife doesn't know, etc. When the injector broke, they said that the exhaust smoke that my wife smelled (I hardly smell anything) were women's things, I took it to the sadly closed dealership in Jaen and in two hours they changed it, in short the PSA engines (1.4 and 1.6 diesel) from mazda are problematic, when they go well, "chapeau" and if they fail, only saven solve the problem at the end of the guarantee. They are good machines and most of the problems with diesel engines, of all brands, have the root of their problems in the intensive citizen use, cold operation (less than 20 km) and the persecution of their drivers for always driving at less than 2.000 rpm, from time to time you have to squeeze the mechanics and set it to 3.000-4.000 rpm and if you are afraid of speed, radar, etc. IN SECOND OR THIRD GEAR At 4.000 rpm you don't run as much. goodbye and greetings
I have a mazda 3 with the dpf it sucks xk if it jumps you don't have to exarle to walk. call the crane.
I changed the oil and ready they gave me a discount because the normal thing is at 20000
Aora has 30000 and no more skipped for now, it's my second Mazda 3 and I'm delighted
there is no diesel that sune so little good if honda the bad review prices are very expensive
I have a Mazda 6 diesel, 120.000km. Up to 100.000km, very happy. Now I am considering changing my car due to the high oil consumption: 1l/500km. I was thinking of doing another 120.000 km!
Be careful, I know of a case that went 4000 km from the revision (that is, it did 24000 km) and the engine seized due to running out of oil.
Specifically, in the dealership that has passed this they have a car in tests in which they are calculating the consumption since they do not have data from Mazda. It seems that what Jose Luis says could be a normal expense.
Soon instead of gasoline we will put oil.
All this is from the reprogramming that began in February for the problem with the DPF.
We will hear a lot about it… Mazda diesels are worth nothing!!!!!
I have a mazda May 5, 2007, the car is going well in general but today with 37000 km the dpf indicator jumps intermittently, tomorrow I'll take it to the workshop to see how it goes, I don't take it home because Hiro motor, the Asturias dealership, they are real nonsense and I had to report them to consumption because they didn't want to change the thermal window that came badly from the house and on top of that they took away my guarantee because I didn't pass the revision in the official workshop when, as you all know It is not mandatory as long as you use all the products recommended by the manufacturer. I already regret having bought a Mazda. The after-sales service is a shame, I already had a few cars and it is the worst treatment I have received from a brand. Greetings friends and do not buy this brand.
good, I have a mazda5 2.0 143 sportive from 2006, I have had many problems, three sets of wheels, they have changed the gearbox selector twice, I lost the cruising speed, they have changed the vacuum pump three times, I have changed the rubber blocks of the engine, they have changed the xylenbrox of the stabilizer bar and lastly, yesterday, December 27, the intermittent DPF light came on, I did what the manual said and nothing at all, to the workshop and I It says that the particulate filter is clogged, I had it checked on September 19 with 50250 km, and they haven't sent me any letter to take it in for a check, I don't know, I'm bored, the car has been in the workshop longer than with me, and the worst thing is that the car is already out of warranty.
Hello , I want to tell you something about this topic , I am a mechanic and I know well what the particulate filter is , for the environment it will be great but for the reliability of the cars it is a fucking shame , this problem is not only from Mazda , Almost all brands have it, from citoen to audi. Another thing that causes a lot of problems is the EGR valve (exhaust gas recirculation), another technological advance in favor of nature but harmful to the engine. It also gives problems in almost all brands.
Mazda is one of the most reliable brands or it was, until they started to mount dpf, but it happens to all brands
I leave you a piece of advice, as long as the car does not reach normal operating temperature, do not accelerate it too much, once it reaches temperature, give it a hard time … with clear sense, on the highway for example. , in 4th. Between 3000 and 4000 laps a km every so often, for example, so that it cleans.
PLEASE HELP !! I have a friend who, after having had a problem with the dpf, in December 2009, he went up in speed and his engine was screwed up, the warranty ran out 2 months before and in the official house they told him to open the engine, it is worth 1200 but what he has and he has it stopped, SOMEBODY KNOWS WHAT CAN DO THANKS
With 16000 km I change the Dunlop due to internal wear paying 25% (one wheel/180 euros), now with 31000 again, now on the outside the front ones, and they no longer want to take care of anything, they tell me it's the parallel that has gone away when I got up the sidewalks and take "the roundabouts on two wheels", but if the parallel "they have done it to me" 2 or 3 times because the car goes to the right and they have not done it solved…in short, this is “scoundrels” no more and no less, they are playing with us…another one who is going to court (although the way justice is, I really don't have much hope).
By the way, it is a problem worldwide and in the US and England they are already moving with reports from specialized industrial experts who have determined that it is a "very serious problem" in the structure of the rear axle and rear suspension arms that They can ruin not only the wheels but also the entire suspension and damping system... that's nothing... S2.
hello, I'm another mazda 5 sportive sufferer, I've lost count of the wheels I've already changed... but anyway that's old news, my problem now is that yesterday the DPF light came on intermittently I called to get it Appointment at the official house and they tell me that they are going to try to regenerate it and if not they will have to replace it, they tell me that the repair is very expensive but they do not know how expensive it is, which I do not understand, my question is someone can tell me how much pasta I they are going to take out now, more than anything to be prepared and not to mount another chicken in the dealership. thank you
I have a Mazda 5 from June 2007, and in August 2012 the same thing happened to me with 43000 km, I did what the manual says, driving for 20 minutes at 2500 rpm/3000 rpm, but the problem persisted, I took it to Nordisauto (Hospitalet), they did a forced regeneration twice, after the happy signal (DPF) turned on again after 20 kilometers. The problem seems to be that it is due to an injector design fault and some came out with problems (they leaked fuel), and it produced problems that affected the particulate filter. Mazda's chief mechanic contacted Maza discussing the problem, they fixed it. They had to replace them (injectors) with others (new design). I changed them and now no problem.
Hi, I'm Alvaro. The exact same thing happens to me with the dpf and I'm going crazy. I just found out that Mazda sent a letter to solve the problem, I did not get it, I would like to get in touch to see if I can get more information, thanks
my e-mail is alvaroyclaudia.ajs@gmail.com
I have a mazda 6 with the same problem and they ask me for more than €2000 to change the 4 injectors… did they change them under warranty? Thank you
How many km does your Mazda5 Diesel have? it is important to know at how many km it will happen to me
What engine does it have, the 143 horsepower?
Could it be that the aforementioned filter simply does not regenerate during the march as would be expected?
I wait for your answer… Greetings
Hello Fernando,
I have a mazda 3 and I would like to know what you say about the problem that mazdas have, where can I get information?
It has already left me stranded 2 times and now it is in the workshop again, I am quite tired because I am a salesperson and I cannot be like this with a car.
Thank you very much
All the best
Alice
Well I'm trilling with Mazda and this news is to freak out.
I have a Mazda 6 CRTD Active 120CV 2000cc with about 5 years (it is from July 2005) and last year at the beginning of June (2009), with almost 4 years, and 80 thousand kms in a Cadiz-Madrid trip, it was broke the timing belt with the consequent breakage of the engine and the rest of its parts (who knows if it was due to something related to this news). In the mazda book it says that it should be changed at 150 thousand kms if I remember correctly or 5 years of life. I called Mazda customer service and they told me that they were not responsible since they did not know where I had put the car, which seemed to me to be a lack of professionalism on their part and the brand it represents and the truth, although I could have claimed then, Due to personal circumstances, I let it go.
I decided to put a second-hand engine bought in a scrapyard in Lleida, to which they told me that they would give me a 3-month guarantee for it, since a new one was worth 6 thousand euros plus labor, that is, about 7 thousand euros , and all this cost me 3500 euros, 1500 euros for the engine and the same for the workforce.
And the last straw is over, when three weeks ago on a Madrid-Cadiz trip, he left the car halfway there, emitting a beastly smoke, and having to take it to the workshop. This time the mechanic doesn't know exactly what's wrong, but the pistons are melted and it's going to be cheaper to look for a new engine than to repair the one that already exists, so more of the same NEW ENGINEOOOOOOcomments.
Seeing this website I am amazed with the news and even more so with some of the Mazda owners. The truth is that in life I would have expected this and more when I am away from home working to give them the money, so imagine my desperation, I just put money in the car that I am very, very, very unhappy about.
Anyway, I just hope that this will serve to sell fewer cars because of course they do not know what awaits those who buy one and I doubt that they will solve anything for me seeing what I see here. The truth is that I would like to claim them, so if someone wants to assess the possibility of filing a joint lawsuit or something like that, I would sign up. my email is mangelopez@ono.com.
Greetings and I encourage the rock of hardship.
Hi Luis.
But it cannot be that what is said that it can suffer an increase in speed is the reason for the timing belt breaking? It is NOT my doubt. Regarding the second fault. Before leaving on a trip, I checked precisely the water level and the oil level and I had as much of one thing as another, and that is my courage because if at least I had been to blame then I would eat it with potatoes and not I say nothing, but what annoys me is that I look at everything before leaving, and since it's the second engine, it makes me very suspicious.
By the way, thanks for answering Luis. Greetings.
Miguel Angel, the first fault that you mention is not at all related to the problem that I publish here (the DFP). Instead, I tell you that YES, you should have claimed since the strap was within the lifespan recommended by the manufacturer and they should compensate you. Mazda could cling to the fact that you may not have passed all the inspections stipulated in the official house and that is why the premature deterioration of your timing belt was "not detected", but in any case, you could have reached an agreement and perhaps shared repair costs instead of paying for it yourself.
The second failure that you mention, with such a brief description, it is difficult to know what happened to it...perhaps it ran out of oil (consumed by the turbo) and the engine overheated due to excess friction, in which it was almost your fault for not controlling the level, perhaps the fault of the car for spending an exaggeration of oil, it is very difficult to specify from here.
I hope you have luck with your vehicle
regards
Sure, Luis, don't doubt that I'll do it. The mechanic says that as soon as he disassembles it in a more methodical way he will know something, but I already told you that it had water and oil so he doesn't know. The butt joint is what he thought at first, but it seems that this is not what happened to him but ok.
We are finally in contact. Greetings.
Miguel, if the engine had revved a lot "by itself", without accelerating, then it could happen that the broken timing belt was related, if not, I don't see a relationship (note, I'm not a professional mechanic either) .
Pistons melted without overrevving and oil and water being fine at the beginning of the trip... the only thing I can think of is that it was lost/consumed along the way, or a broken head gasket (or cylinder head) or... I don't know. If they explain to you what happened, please tell us.
regards
I am crazy about some comments, gentlemen, I have a Mazda 3 Sportsedan Sportive 1.6 Crtd from 2005 and it is A JEWEL, very quiet, I take very good care of it and it is like the first day I took it out of the dealership and I am a person who I like to crush the pedal a lot and it's working perfectly there, it amuses me that Fernando who says we shouldn't buy any mazda, well I'll tell you the next thing I have to buy will be a mazda, because it failed you or It has gone wrong for you does not mean that it goes wrong for everyone, apart from the fact that Mazda has been in the leading positions of reliability for several years along with Honda and Toyota. All brands can fail and none escapes, but that it fails you and say that no one buys a mazda because you say so, well I laugh a lot and I repeat that mazda is several years in a row in the first places in reliability and well if you don't want to believe it then there you, because those studies are for something and not to make pretty, that what happened to you is a bitch well yes and the truth is that it pisses you off a lot but that's not why all mazda are going to fail and are no longer reliable, and there where you see so much premium brands bmw, audi, mercedes those are lower in reliability and fail more than you can imagine, and today the most reliable car brands are Japanese.
hello everyone just to say that I bought a new mazda 3 in november and it already has 24000 km and at the moment not a single problem and I am very happy with its behavior on the road just as I am happy with the price of the first revision that went to the 20000 km, not like in other houses that make you go much earlier. I hope to continue to be so happy with the car and be able to tell you about it here. In any case, I will be attentive to possible failures commented, thanks
I am also "very happy". hub 6 of 2006. With 40.000 km the steering belt and the camshaft break or whatever. Good thing it was under warranty. But this week, a month after changing the distribution, I take the car to the workshop because it was making a little noise and they tell me that the crankshaft has broken and that since there is no guarantee they will not take charge. What a purchase we make from Mazda. All revisions in the official workshop, without passing any km, always taking care and at 4 years decide: You spend a lot on this car at the expense of something else happening later or you change brands. I think it will be the second and I hope I can tell as many people as possible.
Oh my ...
I'm already scared, very scared, but really. I have a recently purchased second-hand Mazda 5 diesel with 36.000 kms. and four days ago this famous DPF indicator came on intermittently... I took it to a mechanic I know and he told me exactly what it says in the car manual: drive about 20-25 minutes at more than 70 km/h and at 2.500 revolutions. To cure myself in health, I did about 70 kms. but nothing, the day before yesterday another 70 and nothing...
Today I entered the forums to see if I could have more information. Better not have done it. Right now I'm already thinking what I have to do to get rid of it...
Scared and sorry I am for what is coming at me...
Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
I'm so scared of my mazda 5 with 49.000 km and no problem until this week that the DPF jumps out I don't know what to do with it. I take it to a workshop, they say that we can't know what it is about and they tell me to take it home, I take it to another one, I'm waiting to see what they tell me to see if you could help me, please, muxas garciassss here I leave you my email dahin16@hotmail.com
I have a mazda 3 and it heats up more than normal the vehicle is roaded and a diagnosis told me that it is a problem with the air mixture what can I do or will this be I am from guatemala thanks
Emilio, from so far away it is very difficult to help you, but what you indicate is an indication of excess air in the mixture. Check this point.
regards
Today my Mazda 4 3cv has entered for the 143th time. by the happy DPF, it is a real failure of the Mazda house that they do not know how to recognize or solve, I sent a letter to customer service and they answered me that it was a SPECIAL car, to drive only by road I live in Mallorca for which I do not Very long print runs, think about it very much when buying a car like this, it's all problems and the best thing is that they have no idea how to solve it.
Dear Friends
I tell you about my case from Venezuela, I have a Mazda 6, and the problem with these engines, according to the investigations I have had to carry out, is that this engine works at an extremely high temperature because the manufacturer requires the use of only 20 w 50 api oils, even from new. thing is totally illogical, but nevertheless having this the vehicle presented a noise, which according to my presumptive diagnosis was a connecting rod, in Mazda they told me that I was wrong, that the computerized analysis was the one that was going to find the fault directly, after 15 days waiting they tell me about an engine oil impeller and they tell me that the part as such is not available and that I will have to wait and this has a cost of around 600 US dollars in the end I ended up importing to Venezuela directly the part with a cost of 60 $ said part was installed and the noise continued inside the dealership, in addition to having to cancel the diagnosis and the wrong labor to be able to remove the vehicle ass after a liability dispute I canceled about 400 US dollars I took the vehicle to a private workshop where the engine was disassembled, causing damage to the number 2 connecting rod and a wear on the crankshaft material that forced me to change said parts by investing a sum about 3000 US dollars and after 2 months I realize that the vehicle's oil is consumed considerably for unknown reasons even by the mazda staff who turns a blind eye to these faults present in their engines and of which they are consent but do nothing to guide their customers to obtain a clear and precise answer to the problem now I am investing again an important sum of money to solve the problem again... recommendation explain to family and friends not to think about buying a vehicle mazda.
friend, tell me what you did with the noise, mine has the same problem, it sounds like a dissel, thank God I didn't have to buy the oil impeller that they say they call it that, others call it the follower rocker arm and in the workshop where I have it They call the UFO the joke because that seems to be the case, it's that I didn't buy it because someone had disassembled the engine and lent it to me and we realized that it wasn't because it produced the same noise, so what we did was put washers on it very fine to reduce the noise we put them on the four screws that it has and we reduced it in each attempt always lowering the engine cover until the noise was reduced only with 2 washers on each screw the fact is that it still sounds very low like dissel I want to know if you already solved it and how
I AM MOISES 2017 BROKEN TURBO AND CRANKSHAFT WITH 80000 KM I TAKE IT HOME
Juanjovero, those rust marks on the underbody, although it seems sad for a new car, can even be described as "normal" if you use the car a lot in mountainous or snowy areas. What is absolutely inadmissible is the rust on the wings and parts of the bodywork, since the manufacturer will offer (I don't know for sure) between 8 and 12 years of guarantee. Without a doubt, it should respond at least to that rust, not usual in a modern body with so little time.
look at mine... I have a Mazda 6 2006 with an automatic 2.0 engine, I bought it about a year ago second-hand with only 50.000 km in excellent condition according to an expert opinion. It turns out that a month ago I took it for an 80.000km service by my own choice because I am quite demanding with my things so that it would be perfect. he left the workshop and according to the mazda dealer in my city the car was perfect.
It turns out that from one moment to the next the board looks like a Christmas tree, the abs, anti-skid, traction control, handbrake, engine, and so on warning lights come on. In the Mazda they have been checking what it has for almost two weeks and the only thing they could tell me was that the pcm was damaged………. a car of this range and the pcm was damaged at 80.000 km………….!!!!! What a disgusting car, and best of all, do you know what the price of the fix is???? 2500 US dollars. amazing. NEVER BUY A MAZDA, CARS OF THE WORST QUALITY.
hello mauricio, I would like to know how your car went, I have the same problem, thanks.
I just bought a mazda 3i… 2009 And it has been giving me a series of problems, including this one that turns on a light on the steering wheel and automatically it becomes hard and does not turn…. It is as if it were blocked... I have already taken it to several workshops and nobody knows how to give me a diagnosis... And I took it to Mazda and they don't know what it is either…. I don't know what to do I really love these cars. I've had one before and it didn't give me any problems...
It doesn't seem like a very complicated fault... the power steering control unit, the starter motor or the body computer are the most likely causes. Cheers
The same thing happened to me with a 3 mazda 2008 JUST OUT OF THE AGENCY it had that fault you mentioned, the steering light came on and the steering wheel became very hard and did not turn, I took it 4 times to the agency and the 4 times They told me his car is ready, it was a fuse, his car is ready, it was a hose, pure inventions never turned out well, the fourth time I went back to the agency and left the car there and told them I didn't want to talk about it anymore to the bank with which I had the credit and they made me change the car.
They changed my car and everything seemed fine with the new one, until a year later the alternator began to fail, I was taking it to the agency since it still had a guarantee and they never wanted to accept that it was the alternator, they better changed the battery, but the car It never stopped failing until the warranty was over, I took it to a workshop and they told me it was the alternator and that it was no longer repairable, so I had to buy a new one.
IT IS A PITY THAT NO LONGER CAN YOU TRUST ANY CAR AGENCY SINCE THEY DO NOT HAVE HONEST AND PREPARED PERSONNEL TO REALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM THAT THEIR CARS PRESENTED
hello Jorge, are you the tennis player?

Hello.. I have a Mazda 6 v6 2009, and the little one didn't turn on anymore, it didn't give me access to the star button, it just turned red and the dashboard or its lights, it went to the agency and they tell me that it was possibly damaged the key recognition module, since it is wireless and the local module too, how is it possible that both are damaged at the same time, and I have been without a car for about 2 weeks waiting for the technicians to give it a solution, now it is ironic that mazda developed block technology for ignition and it can't be solved with a simple action of buttons and hands...
hello, good evening, let me tell you that I have a mazda 6 engine 2.3 year 2005 and it has 263 thousand kilometers and still goes from 180 to 200 and the motorcycle has not been uncovered at all I like my car and of course here in Venezuela what car is not it damages the front end and the tensioner that if I change it and the single belt the rest is fine I want to sell it to buy a newer one because they are elegant soft and of very good quality
Well, I will comment in this post for the simple reason of the "mazdero" comment, well: the following, I bought this past March 4 years ago, a Mazda 6 and with barely 27000 km, it has not failed me, but 1 One day we had the scare when I was going with my family, so I point out that I have 2 small children, we were going through the city, my car began to accelerate, then an enormous amount of white smoke began to come out of the exhaust pipe, and I reacted by stepping the brake, as any person would react and my surprise was that the car did not respond and already anguished I switched off the ignition and to my surprise it did not stop, and I had to lift the handbrake, thanks to the fact that we were not going fast and there was no one at that very moment, we got rid of having had an accident. The car after this, did not show any type of fault and they did not "know" or "would not" tell us what happened. And last month on the way to vacation, the car lost power and ALL the lights on the panel came on, I stopped as I could On the shoulder I switched off the ignition and turned it on again and everything was perfect until a few kilometers later when the same thing happened, we went to the workshop and the only thing they said after 5 hours of waiting was that the particulate filter was dirty (by chance there were 2 cars Mazda in front with the same problem) after repairing it, we continued with our awaited trip and when we arrived the above happened again, and also it had lost the oil, thus annoying our vacations and we had to return, and later today, I only know that the The problem is the 4 injectors of the engine, which got messed up thus giving a breakdown of more than €2000, now what I'm talking about, and if my family and I had killed each other on that day, who would be responsible for such a tragedy? when I am at the expense of finding someone responsible for this, while in this Mazda house, they wash their hands of paying the buck to some and others making silly excuses, such as that it was because of the fuel.
well I hope that my feat of this type can be useful to you, and I imply that I am very upset with such behavior of these, and that knowing the problem that they can have and everything, nobody deigned to call me to inform me not much less.
Greetings. be careful if you have a "car" so to speak similar.
Hi Angel... the same thing happened to me on the highway at 120km per hour and I think I can tell because of the strength I had and because it was a straight line... I kept the car straight as best I could, it didn't stop and the white smoke was enormous... I used the handbrake to stop the vehicle stuck as close as possible to the shoulder...
It was on its own and after about 5 or 10 minutes I started it up and everything seemed normal...
Many times I wake up with a start seeing myself cross into the opposite lane in a dream and hit a truck... All this after 5 years, a breakdown of 5000 euros... Mazda 5 Sportive 143cv... quite an ordeal for a car...
Hi Rafael. I have a Mazda 6 diesel engine with 143 hp. with 140000 km. and 7 days ago something very similar to what happened to you happened to me. When I managed to stop the car, I looked at the oil level and it was well above the maximum, so I deduce that a mixture of fuel/oil , coming from the oil pan, was introduced, without control, into the cylinders, which probably caused the sudden and uncontrollable acceleration and the enormous discharge of smoke from the exhaust. I changed the oil and now it goes well, but the fault that caused it the oil level rises so high it persists. Can you tell me what they blamed for the cause of your problem and what they changed/repaired? Thank you.
hi angel!!, exactly the same thing happened to me this thursday with my 6-month-old kid to birdo and it didn't kill me by a miracle, i made a claim to mazda, but in the workshop of an acquaintance he told me that it's a because the oil went up!, the fact is that the 4 injectors have crashed and they ask me for €5000, I don't know if the whore mazda will take charge, but it is clear that it is not very normal, have you looked at something?, thank you very much If you want, I'll leave you my email and cnt me over there:
makea100@hotmail.comThanks
look I'm not saying anything, each one there with their own, but what is clear is that I will not risk my family's life anymore with this car, it could be bad luck, or whatever you want to call it, but mine is not the only one case that such a thing has happened, I know of up to 3 equal or similar cases.
MAZDITA MAZDA 6 143CV 2007. I GOT DISAPPOINTED WHEN I PASSED ONE CAR AT 100KLM AND THE RPM WAS SLOWED TO 6000. WHITE SMOKE WAS OUT THAT PERISHED ON A SNOWY DAY THE CARS OF OTHERS ALL STOPPED. EVEN NOW THEY ARE BROKEN AND IT WAS 2 DAYS AGO. MAZDA TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO MONITOR THE OIL LEVEL BECAUSE YOU MIX THE OIL WITH THE OIL YOU CAN NEVER GO BEYOND THE X OF THE CALA AND NOW I WONDER WHAT CONSEQUENCES THAT MIXING ECEITE + OIL HAS FOR THE ENGINE IN GENERAL MAZDA SAYS THAT NOTHING HAPPENS I TOLD HIM AND A GUEVO HOW THEY WILL AFFECT THE PISTONS TO THE INJECTION GOD KNOWS THAT HE KNOWS ABOUT MACHINERY TO PROTECT US AMEN
What exactly do you mean by the mixture of oil + oil?
hello everyone no if someone can help me i have a mazda 3 year 2008 and when i bought it it came with a power cut from the factory but it stopped working does anyone know why that happened
I have a 3 mazda2006 and it has a problem when I disconnect the negative battery cable and reconnect it, it always votes a current chip
This is totally normal and happens on all cars. there is no problem
hello, does anyone know how to turn off the speed alert that turns on at 13o km per hour in the mazda 626?
Well, I have a 3 Mazda 1.6 CRTD, they have 6 Alis and it's going great, with 105.000km that I've done, be careful, the oil you give it should be an ACEA C1, it's the one that extends the life of FAP, and from time to time When to maintain 4000/4500rpm in 2nd for the FAP to regenerate, changing the air filter every year is responsible for many breakdowns.
Hello, I have a Mazda 6 model 2004m cc 2300 and I am driving and the steering wheel becomes hard to turn. Who can tell me how accurate my car is?
Hello... I have a Mazda 3, 1.6, 109 horsepower from 2006, my problem is that it stops when it wants to... and the workshop can't find the problem... has it ever happened to me that after using it when starting it or trying to start it It hasn't done it, and it's not a battery or alternator problem, has it happened to someone?
Clean the crankshaft position sensor with WD 40, you will be surprised
Also look at the injector rail connector.
Hello, Fran, how about the problem, I have the same one... THANK YOU!
HELLO FRIEND WHERE IS THE GASOLINE VONVA OF THE MAZDA 3 2008
Hello, I have a Mazda 6, engine 3000 2005, my car began to bother me by not starting at first, when it starts it has a hard time stabilizing, it sounds like a heart trying to start and the whole engine moves as such. Also, when you're walking, it sounds like something's clogged, like you're not getting enough gas, especially when you're going uphill. Now when you're walking, it accelerates so I have to keep close to the brake and with enough distance from the car in front because it accelerates on its own. Besides, they have already changed the fuel pump, cleaned the injectors and still don't know what they have. I am already tired because I have invested a lot of money in this car. I have read the comments above and they talk about the DPF filter, how can I check if this could be the problem with my car? Thanks greetings
Hello, I have a 3 mazda 2003 and the problem is that when I fill gas it gives me problems to start and I have to hit the accelerator several times and it also emits black smoke. This is only when I fill gas. What can be?

I bought a Magda6 2.2 CRTD 163 cv Wagon Style, every oil change I have to plan and / or change the brake discs, because they bend every 20.000 / 30.000 km. It has 123.000 km and it is the fifth time that I have had to ask Magda to solve the problem. When I brake, the whole vehicle trembles and the steering wheel is unable to hold it. A hazard to the driver, occupants and road safety to pedestrians and other vehicles.
hello, good evening, I have a madza 5 engine 2000 and 143 hp, I changed the seals on the injectors because it was leaking oil and the rocker arm gasket continues to leak oil, now it seems that it is leaking through the camshaft and the crankshaft, the dpf filter has me boring can someone tell me why the car leaks oil and what is the cause of this problem so that I can solve it once and for all and that the car lets me live in peace that I'm fed up with the car
Give me your Mazda has mainly 2 problems. The oil leaks through the camshaft seal, you have to remove the timing belt to remove the pulley, but it is not enough to replace the seal and the belt if it is wet with oil, you also have to solve the second problem.
The second problem is that you have compression leaks into the crankcase, causing excessive crankcase vapor pressure and blowing the seals.
To solve compression leaks you must replace the injector firewall washers, which in turn are the cause of excessive oil consumption.
If your Mazda consumes excess oil, I recommend these repairs and also disassemble the engine crankcase to clean the oil pump aspirator and prevent future breakdowns due to lack of oil pressure.
I have a 3 mazda 2005. It almost killed me. It turns off on the go. The guide gets stuck. He has repeated it several times. Which may be. I actually ran into a balla. Causing me an accident
MAZDA 5 DIESEL 143CV OF THE YEAR 2007. SOMEONE HAS HAD TO MAKE THE CHANGE OF THE KIT OF THE TIMING BELT AND THE PUMP THAT THEY RECOMMEND AT 120.000 KM. WHAT PRICE DID YOU CHARGE? AT THE OFFICIAL DEALERSHIP?
Hello, I have a mazda 3 1.6 diesel year 2007 driving around the city the car started to increase its speed only so I decided to park it and to my surprise that while I parked it for emergencies the car kept accelerating without stepping on the accelerator it started to smoke I took the keys but the car wouldn't turn off it was still accelerating and running I had to remove the terminal to get the engine to stop. This happened to me in 2013 I saw this I went to Mazda and they were not aware of said appeal campaign I brought them this news and so they were informed, they washed their hands and so I had to find a life and fix it myself involving a new engine and turbo .
TO THE LORDS OF MAZDA
I HAVE A 6 ACTIVA WITH 139000K SINCE I WAS 35 I NEVER BEEN ABLE TO REGENERAL ALONE ALWAYS WITH THE COMPUTER
NEITHER AT 2500 RM NOR WITHIN 1 HOUR OF ROAD. I HAVE ALL THE INTERVENTION INVOICES OF THE HOUSE A GREETINGS:
I have a Mazda 3 engine 2.3 triptonic hb year 2005 I just bought it second hand but I don't know what oil to use to change the engine and to fill the transmission less :( I also just noticed that it has a small noise when turning the The steering wheel on the right side is not strong, what could it be? They told me depending on what I lubricated and greased, it would go away.
Is it advisable to wash the steam engine?
thanks greetings.
Bianora, I would never under any circumstances recommend washing the engine compartment with steam. There are people who do it…but I would never do it in my car.
I have a mazda 6 year 2008, 220000km, a noise arose in the distribution area, in my workshop they can't find the reason and they call mazda.
The answer is that they are surprised that it lasted so many km, since they usually have a problem with the crankshaft and break before.
2000 and the new parts, whoever gets closer to those km can already take note.
Is there any case in the new Mazda 6 of locking in the steering while driving!!!
Mazda cx7 diesel from 2010, my engine just seized up with 100.000 km. I am not the first nor the last. What brand deception. BOYCOTT MAZDA
Mazda 5 2006 wheels at 20000 km, replacement by Michelin change to 120000 other Michelin currently 175000.
Rear shock absorbers at 30000 in grantia. Gasoi pump at 60000 km enters into grantia. Timing belt at 130.000 recommended. And now the festival of the DPF particulate filter begins and they have the holy nose to ask for €2000.
I ask them for an appraisal to buy a cx5 and they value me the 5 for €4500.
Take the €4500 and get out of the bloody car.
It's the biggest shit a manufacturer could do,
And he didn't give a shit... that we users have broken our pockets trying not to lose it. But it really is the biggest SHIT OF €25.000 that they have been able to do.
An unmitigated crap. A short list: tires, cylinder and cylinder head. Tore valve of the engine and painter back to polar.
Oil pump, water, two transmission belts, three belt items, and all this with 100000 km. You ask any mechanic about that car…
Mine has already been put up to the steering rubber, and I don't know what others from behind.
And the engine moves from side to side
Not even in photos I want more
Mazda CX 7 2.2 diesel 173 hp. My oil pressure warning light came on and after 20 seconds the car stalled on the highway. To the workshop and seized engine verdict. Explanation of the brand, there are engines that the injectors loosen over time, misfire, gases escape, carbon is generated that falls into the oil with the result of obstruction of the oil pump and consequent seizing. The brand knows this and has notice so that the tightening is checked in the revisions, but they do not notify the owner to go through the workshop. Result in my case 4 year old car and 33000 euros for scrap. Long live Mazda. NEVER AGAIN MAZDA
hello the same thing happened to me but the light did not turn on
I am completely sure that at least 90% of those who give their opinion here do not do more than 10000km a year and even elementary school children know that current diesels give more problems than gasoline, in absolutely all brands and not only in Mazda, I do not understand these complaints, all those who make more than 30000 a year have their reason for doing so, but what about the rest? You can enter all the forums of all the brands that you want and value the results of diesel and gasoline and you will see that I am not lying. Now come the anger, the crying and the imprecations and when you get rid of your cars you go to another diesel but from another brand. I have a gasoline Mazda 3 and I don't change it for any diesel on the market, whatever it may be. When buying a car, we must better assess what we need and use our heads and not get carried away by trends…. then come the complaints and the whining, that's how it goes.
Hello. I'm freaking out with everything I'm seeing here. .. if I find out, I won't buy a Mazda even as a joke...
I'll tell you what you advise me. .
About 2 months ago I noticed that my mazda 3 was losing strength, on hills it was incredible how I stepped on the accelerator and it didn't go over 30 km/h, imagine the cars that I had behind how they were pissed off... sometimes even after stopping and removing the keys After contact, the fan continued to work for a long time… something I had never done before.
My mazda is from 2008 and now when I take it to a workshop they tell me that it is a problem with the particulate filter and that I take it to the official house because they do not take their fingers with this problem... today I left it at the mazda house in Cadiz and they tell me that they will look at it to give me an estimate. They charge €40 and up to look at it until they find the problem. ..
We'll see how much they nail me for something that you probably already know and on top of that now I'm reading this...
Has someone experienced something like losing strength, especially in long gears?
Thanks for the attention.
Hello Blanca, have you solved the problem? Can you tell me what happened to the car? I also have a Mazda 3 1.6 from 2006 and it loses power, it has been at the dealership for 2 months and they have changed the particulate filter, the turbo and the control unit and they still do not know why it loses power, I am desperate. I haven't paid anything yet but I'm dreading the bill if they ever fix it.
I left my Mazda 3 in Vigo Augasa SA for maintenance and the additional warranty papers 3 plus 2 that I had in the glove compartment disappeared. The car is going well, but I warn you about the riffraff they have employed.
I HAVE A MAZDA 6 A REAL HEADACHE WITH THE INTELLIGENT KEY THAT HAS NOTHING ABOUT THAT AT THE BEGINNING VERY WELL AND LATER I PASSED IT IN THE WORKSHOP AND WORKSHOP AT THE AGENCY OF QUERETARO A PROBLEM SO THAT YOU SERVE ME WITH AN APPOINTMENT AND YOU CHANGE THE KEYS APPOINTMENTS AND THEY CANNOT PROGRAM THE KEYS SUDDENLY HE DOESN'T WANT TO TURN ON THE TRUTH I DON'T WANT IT ANYMORE I GIVE IT CHEAP
In the first place I would like to start a spear in favor of Mazda, everything that is being said is true but with notes, first the Mazda engines do the regeneration of the DPF (particulate filter) by means of a fuel injection when the exhaust valve is open to cause combustion in the particulate filter, increase the temperature and burn all the carbon, well, what happens when what the manufacturer recommends is not followed to the letter? For example, use AN UNSUITABLE OIL!! Mazda for engines with DPF Requires the use of an ACEA C1 OIL and that it also complies with tests in which the lubricant is required to do its job even in the presence of fuel diluted in the oil, well, how many workshops use this standard? ?, the answer is easy, less than 36%, they normally only use ACEA C3 standards (which is not the same as ACEA C1).
Turbo breaks due to a dilution of fuel with the oil, fault of the Mazda? NO!! Guilt that the oil used surely did not meet the required property of withstanding dilution.
More things, the DPF or FAP are clogged by 2 elements (carbon and sulfated ash), you can check the limits in any technical sheet of any oil, (ACEA C3 always above 0,6%, ACEA C1 always below 0,5 .XNUMX%), well, if sulfated ash accumulates in the DPF, you can now do all the regeneration you want, as you will not be able to unclog the filter, in addition to the fact that if the control unit detects obstruction of the DPF, it will not stop injecting fuel to try to unclog the PDF and as it does not get it….SURPRISE!!!!! an exaggerated fuel dilution in the engine due to a simple oil.
Conclusion If they explained to you everything you must do to keep the engine and the vehicle intact, the majority would go by bicycle, and another thing, the maintenance that must be done on the car is detailed in the vehicle maintenance manual, if that book that normally It goes in the glove compartment and almost none of us read it (myself included).
Once this has been explained, surely there will be people who will be angry or not, but it is the reality, the Iberian culture prevents us from doing what they do in Germany, such as changing things as simple as the manual transmission oil every 60.000 km or 4 years, replacing the fluid refrigerant every 2 years or brake fluid which is a hygroscopic liquid, instead we force manufacturers to manufacture machines so perfect that they can withstand the barbarities that are done to them.
I hope it helps some.
A greeting to all.
hello I have a mazda 3 diesel 1.6 109 hp with 185000km, not a single problem every day I do 50 kilometers per m30 Madrid and it goes like the first day, but with so many bad comments I am worried to know if I will be able to have those breakdowns that they say
Guys I have a 3 mazda 2008 can I put snow chains on it???
Depends on the tire size you have. It tells you in the user manual.
Hello. I'm desperate. Let's see if anyone has or has had the same problem.
I have a Mazda 6 CRTD 2.0 140 hp since December 2008 (6 and a half years) and 89.000 km. Up to 66.000 km revisions in the official workshop (the last one was the one I did in another workshop). Well, on June 17 I took it to the workshop because the day before it started making a strange noise and they figured it was from the water pump. They advise me to change the timing belt on the way, since it is due shortly. In total €775 more or less. I agree.
A few days later, they call me to tell me that they have changed everything but that there is still a noise and they ask me for permission to continue disassembling. I also agree.
They call me a few days later to tell me it's a major problem. The crankshaft gear and the oil pump are damaged, they still don't know why. The workshop manager also tells me that since he has so little time and kilometers, he is going to send a technical report to Mazda asking for 100% of the total repair. To make the report they have to continue looking for the origin of the fault.
A few days later I go to the workshop and they tell me that the origin is in the rocker arms that are broken and metal fragments have fallen on the crankshaft gear. The total amount of the breakdown is €6735.
After a few days the workshop manager calls me and tells me that Mazda is responsible for only 30% of the breakdown and they are responsible for 20%, that is, between them they assume a total of 50% of the breakdown and I assume the another 50%. But neither the workshop nor Mazda can tell me the reason for the breakdown. In other words, maybe I repair the car and after some time I can have the same fault again.
Manuel, unfortunately having the car for certain years, unless you have contracted a warranty extension, it is rare that they cover you 100% despite being a fault as strange as this. What I don't understand is the price of the repair... Have they detailed what exactly they are going to replace?
Hello everyone.
I see that the majority speaks ill of his Mazda 5. I, on the other hand, am happy, until a few months ago.
First of all, I must say that I have changed my filter with a little more than 170.000 km, and I do not drive "only highway", but almost always around 2000rpm. Half highway, half city.
In the official workshop, without explaining anything to me, they washed the filter for me, which did not last more than 2 months, until I had power problems again. I complained and they told me that they had NOT told me about replacing the filter, because it was very expensive, and the washing could last a long time???
That if it went more than 3500rpm it would regenerate itself, that he could be happy to have done so many kilometers, that most changed them between 60.000-120.000km (this was the maximum useful life they calculated), and that 170.000 was already a case "unusual".
I ask about the price, and he tells me: €3.000 (the official workshop in Alicante). I tell him why no one has explained this to me when selling it to me..., anyway. Either I changed it, or I had to park it. I looked on the internet, and I saw filters from manufacturers from €400-1.200 for the Mazda 5. I spoke with my normal workshop, which lately did the maintenance, wheels, etc. and we settled on €760.
Well, I have 2000 km and I already have problems. The lack of power has happened to me several times going up a small hill, and I have had to go up in 2nd gear at 4000rpm at 40/kmh. I left it yesterday at the workshop (it's still under warranty) and they DON'T know where the problem is!!!!!!! I hope that tomorrow they will give me a solution, and that it is not to "bypass" the filter, which I installed for a reason.
The same thing has happened to me. I have a 6 Mazda 2006 and since I bought it it has given me a problem with the engine.
Good day

The same thing happens to me with the Mazda 5, yesterday I brought it from the garage to fix the J… DPF that the workshop manager told me had affected the oil pressure. Total oil change and particulate filter regeneration, total €286,04. Last year exactly the same. This is the responsibility of the brand and it must show its face and fix the damage to a filter that sucks and we have to fix the users. Fernando, with a pair of noses, with people like you is how things move. I would like to get in touch to add one more complaint. I'm sick of this brand and its "fixes" like blaming you for not revolutionizing your car God knows when.
all the best
Hi, I have a mazda 6 2002 2.3i 163cv it will be that mine is gasoline but in 14 years and 126000 kms 0 problems its oil maintenance and others in due time and nothing more. I am very, very happy with it, my name is only Mazda because I could bring a passenger airbag badly another year they called me about the front fog lights that they had to change for a new headlight and period, nothing more, just the campaigns that they realize could fail, I repeat "CAN" Mazda I want to repeat with the new 6 and continue staying with my 6 from 2002
Hello, I have a Mazda 6 since 2010. I have to say that I am very happy with it, but a problem has arisen. My DPF jumped in the summer and at that moment I decided to read what the manual recommended, which was to put it at 2000 rpm for 10 or 15 minutes to expel the accumulated carbon. I have to say that I have always put the diesel plus at a BP gas station, because it cleaned the engine and other beneficial things for the engine, all in order to extend the life of the car to the maximum. Well, continuing with the DPF, seeing that the indicator did not disappear, I took it to my trusted workshop and they said that there is no problem and they did a regeneration and the dashboard light went off. Well after two weeks or so it came out again and I decided not to wear it again so as not to bother the mechanics too much with something unimportant and wait for the revision so that they would take it off again. What has been my surprise that they passed him 3 times through different Diacnosis machines or whatever it is called, to see what the problem is and in all of them it indicated that all the levels were in perfect working order, and they themselves told me what the problem could be , nothing related to the particulate filter but that some indicator had to jump to indicate an anomaly. Well, it turns out that the timing chain is not as tight as it should be, or a certain mismatch with the camshaft and crankshaft. They tell me that they have to change the distribution chain with the consequent cost that this entails.
My indignation or surprise is when I find out that it supposedly has a CHAIN and not a strap to avoid failures and less when my car only has 70.000km.
is this a manufacturing defect? Should I assume all the repair or should Mazda take care of it?
Thank you.
On January 18 of this year my 626 mazda 2.0 98 TURBO DIESEL blew up. I was with the calipers attached to the van to try to help it start and I always put it between 2.000 and 2.500 rpm at most and it never gave any problems. Until that day, when going to release it did not go below 2.500rpm and went up to 6.000rpm at maximum for 1 minute. I disconnected the engine, it was still the same, making a lot of noise and white smoke coming out and enveloping the car in a cloud of smoke, I disconnected the clamps by running, and it didn't stop either, I disconnected a cable that gives contact to start and it was still the same. In short, it was revolutionized at 1 rpm for 6.000 minute without being able to do anything until when it stopped on its own it sounded like an express pot and when I looked at the bottom it was dripping with all the liquids in the car, both the oil and the cleaner. that of the brake fluid. He had insurance, and has ITV until this month. In case you ask. AND I WILL NEVER BUY A MAZDA AGAIN IN MY LIFE, I STAY EVEN WITH A FIAT CINQUECENTO. All the best.
Good day, I have a 2005 Mazda Premacy. The car caught fire in part of the engine. Repairing it gives me more expenses, so I decided to change another motor, please, if someone helps me with this, what type of motor would I put on it. And where would I do the work thanks
Good morning, I am another affected by the DPF of Mazda 5, 110 cv (2007). Today because of the dpf, the car left me stranded on the road again and I had to notify the tow truck. With the number of people affected, Mazda would have to drop a "stick" like the Volkswagen first, for lying to the consumer, because knowing that it is a black and complicated point, the manual hardly talks about the dpf and how to do the regeneration of the dpf and yet in the first pages it clearly warns you that you cannot cook inside the car, such precision seems to me an insult to human intelligence; On the other hand, most dealerships have no idea either, they tell you to drive a little on the road from time to time but they don't explain that regeneration is achieved in fourth gear at 9-1oo km/h for 40 minutes without pause (between 2500 -2800 revolutions per minute until the warning light goes off), but friends if it flashes it is already irreversible: you have to immobilize the car and take it to the workshop (the light flashes and 2 more oil warning lights come on and another that I don't remember. The second time I It even happened to me that the car gave me jerks with the danger that this entails (they had to change the egr valve for about 1000 euros). I took the car to the annual inspection a week ago and commented that they would look at the dpf and they told me that everything It was fine but the next day the car, after driving 2 hours on the highway, asked me for a regeneration (dpf fixed light that ended up going off because I was able to drive with these revolutions because it was Friday in a highway area that if it were a weekend its having retentions), the next day I went back to the workshop to have them look at it and they told me that everything was fine and that it seemed as if some injector had not worked well - I think that to say something and prepare for a new repair- because if they had It had been the injectors, I would have noticed jerks or something. Even at some dealership they have hinted that I have to drive more sportily as well as "a quillo" and that it is not a car for the city. (Mazda thinks that we can leave the parking lot in Barcelona or Madrid and put the car at 3000 revolutions in full city against the regulations of the majority of town halls and that of the DGT itself.
that if with a couple of eggs they equip the car with the sixth gear to make sure that the dpf and the injectors are never cleaned. / because you become a city and when you go out to the motorway -highway, put the sixth leg to save you have it clear because you are going to spend your vacations in the workshop.
I have a mazda 5 2.0. Gasoline engine mzr 150 hp and has been with me for 6 years. My car is from 2010. And it has never had any problem. The negative thing about my coxe is that it has no strength, it's slow
Hello, I have a Mazda 3 2.2 crdt with 150 hp diesel from the beginning of 2. It had leaks due to two carbon injectors in the combustion chamber. The result was a clogged oil pump filter, two seized connecting rods and a crankshaft plus a turbo due to lack of lubrication, the pressure light turned on of oil
Very good, I have a Mazda 5 from 2006 crtd 2.0 143 hp, what can I say….I have no words to express it…it is a total ruin, a more than disastrous machine, that if EGR, PDF, INJECTORS, DIESEL SOLENOID VALVES, and endless other things. From the outset, say that in my life I will buy a Mazda again and less diesel, that I will always speak ill of this brand and that I will never recommend it to anyone. It is also dangerous, and the brand always cleans its hands, they just need to say….ahhh it feels. problems from the first day due to a tire manufacturing failure, later, change of the screw that supports the engine just in case, later change of diesel solenoid valve, then diesel filter, then broken intercooler and logically changed, EGR cleaning and they recommend me to change it, injector changed, heater repaired, exchanger replaced, PDF catalytic converter replaced, electronic door switch changed, damaged CD charger...and I don't know how many cleanings and regenerations,.do you want me to continue?, I think it's not necessary...more than €5.000 in repairs. In fact, I will begin to gather information and more people who have these same problems (which I know there are many), to be able to do more, to make sure that such a disastrous car is not released on the market again.
What a pile of bullshit to hear. Those of you who don't like Mazda can buy a VAG and you'll see how happy you're going to be since you're going to pass the ITV by the fucking face and when they tell you in the workshop (many times it's going to happen to you) you'll be happy because you have a chupiguaymolón car.
Here is my opinion in case it helps you. I have a Mazda 6 CRTD 136 CV since 2005, that is, 12 years ago, currently with 120.000. It has never set foot in a workshop except to change the timing belt for mileage, which I did at 100.000 km, or to change the oil. I lie once I took it because the tail light did not work and they only had to change a little piece of nothing that had melted. Apart from this a couple of light bulbs that I have changed myself. I can't speak about the Mazda workshops because apart from the first two revisions from when it was under warranty they haven't seen my hair again. Normally in the workshops of the dealers we know that they take the money out of you just by entering to look. Honestly, the car couldn't have come out better. So much so that later I also bought a Mazda 2. Everyone is doing differently, it's fine for me and I say so. Sooner or later something will have to break, but until now…. And I have no friends or cousins at Mazda, for the record. Keep in mind that normally only those who have problems with the car write on these sites and not the many who are doing well.
According to a person who is dedicated to repairing lathe motors, he says that the Mazda 3 has a defect in the motor and that there is no repair for that car, I have seen many mazadas 3 and mazadas 5 and a wagon and they work very well I had a Mazda 3 and it did not fail me at all it is very comfortable and very fast and the saddest thing is that I had to sell it, it is an aerodynamic type it is a good car it is the continuation from 2003 to 2005 it is the most elegant like the Mazda 3 speed.
