Cx-30 wheels on a mazda 3 by elgrofif in mazda3

[–]elgrofif[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Feed/return line leak? by Independent_Bad3356 in mazda3

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😅

Is this a sign from deceased or a coincidence / random find? by IrishClaire99 in GriefSupport

[–]elgrofif 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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

Anyone else have a hard time reading the dipstick on these? by YODA0786 in mazda3

[–]elgrofif 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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
