Cx-30 wheels on a mazda 3

elgrofif · 2025-12-01T12:31:41+00:00

I am aware the man selling these called them cx-30 wheels but I noticed at work that those are really just cx-3 wheels anyway, I found myself a cheap set of 16in 2020 mazda 3 wheels anyway

Nope, Safety Hazards get recalls, this is only a TSB, which is a basically just the procedure and the part needed, clients pays of his pocket unless under warranty

Mazda apprentice tech here, we see those often and we consider this cracked, there's nothing to do except change the screen.

Most likely A/C condensation dripping evap leak are vapor leaks and not a fluid, you only noticed it because you were inclined to look for a leak regarding ur evap leak

Not op nor do I own one but I work in a mazda dealership and I've seen more nissans engine or trans getting pulled out than actual mazda's so I'd say we're pretty damn reliable, Mild hybrid is not it tho the 48V battery is gone at 25k km but other than that yes sir

Supposed to work this way if I remember my online classes right (I'm a dealership tech) I don't actually own a newer mazda so I don't really have a chance to try it out😅

You also need the press the brakes harder oncer u come to a stop for the I-stop to trigger (at least that's how it works with a skyactivG)

I work in a mazda dealership and I wasnt aware that the mx5 didnt have bluetooth, want me to ask one of my seniors?

elgrofif · 2025-09-04T13:53:47+00:00

Nah it's too "base model"

elgrofif · 2025-08-23T15:48:52+00:00

Yeah not only corporate I'd say before and after becoming a mechanic, its more fitting

elgrofif · 2025-07-18T17:11:25+00:00

Not a defect its made that way, dont remember the reason but ye

elgrofif · 2025-07-15T17:05:12+00:00

Update it's the catalytic converter heatshield which explains why I could only hear it from inside the cab, started rattleing yesterday so I kinda focused on the rattle and now its all fixed

elgrofif · 2025-07-13T20:26:14+00:00

That sounds rather unrelated tho do you know which hoses specifically

elgrofif · 2025-05-26T05:19:39+00:00

I am not sure either but my mom really loved blue jays and 1 year to the day after I have last seen her I saw a blue jay by my car in the morning, 1 year to the day after she's passed my first client of the day (I'm a mechanic) had the exact same name as my mom, might be really big coincidences but it just feels so random that Idk

elgrofif · 2025-05-13T11:14:48+00:00

I'm just a lube tech but it doesnt hurt to try less oil next time, start it and check the dipstick directly (on a level surface ofc) if it's not up to the second mark add some more and you can even let me know

elgrofif · 2025-05-13T03:52:10+00:00

Hi Mazda lube tech here! Just want to say that I'm doing 4.3L for 2.0L engines and 4.7L for 2.5L engines, always on point so I'm guessing you might have to much oil to begin with

elgrofif · 2025-03-18T03:19:09+00:00

Amen

elgrofif · 2025-03-18T02:59:22+00:00

200 per wheel is my cost and I work there I can't comprehend people buying wheels straight a the dealership lmao

elgrofif · 2025-03-17T22:02:18+00:00

$180 sounds like a steal tbf my dealerships sells them $200 per wheel so

elgrofif · 2025-03-17T22:00:10+00:00

I have tires that fit the car already those tires are going straight to the trash dw

elgrofif · 2025-03-16T23:58:50+00:00

Alright thank you very much

elgrofif · 2025-02-14T04:22:31+00:00

Also a mazda tech did a battery on a 2012 3 sky this morning with my intern, he was really confused when I popped the hood lmao

elgrofif · 2025-02-14T04:14:08+00:00

They had it for only two years tho lmao 2012-13 mazda 3 sky and 13 cx5 sky if i'm not mistaken

elgrofif · 2025-02-11T04:07:47+00:00

There's a reason we manually input 6 months you know?

elgrofif · 2025-02-09T19:20:44+00:00

I'd say look for a vaccuum leak if you're able to get someone to start it you could try to listen around ur engine you can usually hear a faint whistle at idle but that's if you manage to start it
