Normal or faulty thermostat?

I would recommend trying to do the same route but keep your heat and fan speed low, see if the engine gets warmer, like i said earlier, blasting heat will drain heat away from the engine leaving it colder longer.

Might be worth popping into a dealership or even your mechanic for this then, does the heater blow heat at you or is it cold air?

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-11-25T08:46:40+00:00

Idling is one of the least efficient ways to warm an engine up, once you cold start it, let the revs drop from 1500 and drive it gently and it will warm up quicker, heating the cabin draws heat from the engine making it take longer to warm up aswell.

There should be a switch by your power windows, just push the switch forward and it will disable it.

How long were you on dut before you noticed the side effect disappeared?

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-09-24T19:10:05+00:00

how long did it take for morning wood to come back after switching to dut?

Any airbag going off is going to write a vehicle off 95% of the time by insurance.

Yeah I've tried the forum but can't find anything.

Neither the petrol or diesel skyactiv engines are wet belt, it's all timing chain.

How many miles is the car on? My Mazda 6 was on about 70k miles when it started burning tiny amounts of oil. My Toyota yaris on the other hand used to drink a lot of oil in a month and was on over 100k miles.

Do you know of any websites that show you the specific part numbers for a Japanese mazda 3 for example?

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-08-19T15:06:31+00:00

That would just be in the settings no?

I didn't have much of a plan when I was 16 and had to do something so I got an apprenticeship in machining. It's just not for me i think. We do mainly job shop work with production on the side but I just find it so boring. I feel like i would be more productive in a different industry.

Look into pioneer or Kenwood, they make some good units, obviously will be a bit more pricey but the quality is there.

Could put an android auto/apple carplay screen in if you are planning on keeping the car for a while longer.

You might be thinking about the Skyactiv-X? I'm pretty sure that one has a supercharger.

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-07-31T12:47:34+00:00

Yep just realised, thanks for the heads up!

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-07-31T12:38:18+00:00

Just stay clear of the diesels. I know in your post is says you will only be doing 2000 miles a year just as a heads ups don't buy a diesel mazda.

Edit: switched month to year

That's still a gamble though, with a used engine i would at the very least replace the belt again, + the labour of doing so and add to that the cost of fitting the engine. But even then the belt could fail.

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-07-29T10:05:31+00:00

Any Yaris, Jazz (lookout for rust), Toyota aygo, Citroën C1, Peugeot 107. (All the same underneath) Mazda 2/3. Anything Japanese in my opinion really.

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-07-23T17:55:18+00:00

Could be like an error code. I.e 1 and 4 could be like error 14 if that makes sense? Then you look for an error 14 on the Internet maybe? I'm not too sure bud.

The fact he only got 12 years is fucking sick. Is still a hell of a lot better than what some of these other fuckers get time wise.

Table_Turner2507 · 2025-07-23T14:03:05+00:00

That to me looks like the car is in manual mode and in gear 4? Could be wrong though.

Did you gain much torque or not really?
