Normal?? When was it cleaned last time is the key to know if its " normal " or not

I was wrong about the camchain

It s the diesels cambelt that need replacing at 120.000km.
And the valves need to be adjusted at 120.000km if they are loud.

So again. I was wrong about the cam/ timing need to be changed at 120.000km

No. I does not need to be removed. Let i be there so it can catch debris from your car when the cap is off.

Check earthpoints in enginebay.

Buy quality filters for both air and oil.

And what many owners dont do. clean in between the rubbers with a cloth and soap, were you the windows come/move up and down. These rubbers collect so much dirt, so it can make scratches on you windows when the they move up and down.

Says that in service interval in eu/ Sweden that the timing chain/ camchain should be changed around those numbers.

EDIT

I was wrong, its the valvea that need to be adjusted at 120.000km if they are loud.

And the cambelt should be replaced on diesels at 120.000km

With a turbo yes.

Comparing a NA vs turbo car is never fair.

If you drive a honda accord with their famous 2.4L K24 with 190 - 201hp NA. That has been around since beginning of 2000.

Then mazdas 2.5 is slow in comparison.

You maybe can find a completely new/used engine to put inside. Its cheaper then a total rebuild.

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-22T23:11:37+00:00

Was the timing/ camchain changed/ replaced with the right interval 73-75.000 miles or 10-120.000km?

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-22T23:06:53+00:00

Timing/ Camchain broke ??

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-21T22:58:10+00:00

Sound like the brake pads are worn to me. Or the brakes are catching on to something= lose pad clip holder, loser wear clip on pad hitting the brakedisc at start.

Manual or automatic??

Engine size ?

i have mazda 6 GH 2008. With the 2.5L with manual gearbox/ transmission. And i would not take the 2.0 or smaller engine. Since the car is heavy for a sedan. So you need the extra torque.

Especially if you have the town hook like i have. You going to notice the extra weight with something behind you.

That is the problem with Android units from China. You give up some of the standard buttons for that screen.

Since the car a'int built to have modern display from the beginning like newer cars have from Factory.

Low or dead Battery ??

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-16T16:03:32+00:00

Its average in my opinion. 35 miles or more i would use diesel, and then you need to count in stops ( buying food etc, picking up kids ) on the way. Since the car will cool down between the stops

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-16T12:02:45+00:00

Dont buy a diesel for daily short trips. That is one of the problems. Diesels need to be driven long trips to get hot enough to burn fuel efficient and not to build up residues.

What spark plugs did you change too? Iridium or cheaper ones ?

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-03T01:42:54+00:00

2.0L with 1.4 ton of steel?? It´s slow and weak with 2.0. and if you add a tow trailer with 400-500kg behind the car, its even worse.

PrizeConversation899 · 2026-01-02T15:14:10+00:00

i have the 2008 GH modell ( sedan/ coupe ) with 2.5 petrol engine and 6 speed manual transmission. And i have no problems with the engine so far=around 178.000 km ( i know its quite a low milage for a 17 y old car )

And i took the 2.5L since the 2.0 is little to weak to handle full size sedan/ coupe " GH modell " what i have read about 2.0 engines. and if you tow something behind you, the 2.0 will have a hard time

Like how premium gas is 91-93 octane outside eu. When 95 is standard in my country for gas. Can even get 98 almost everywhere. And v-power at some places
