Typically shocks are changed only when it starts to fail (leak, car starts 'bouncing') due to wear and tear. Really up to you to decide when you want to change.

Taobao can find. 

Or other source like Ali express which are more on the high side. Google Mazda 6 Tow cover.

buy one and go get a spray painting shop to spray it to your car's color.  Let me know if you need help to engage a  spray paint shop, I no collect commission.😆😆

But ask AD first,  they may even get u a free one.

Get CF sticker and stick over the new cover instead of spray paint. I'm sure it goes well with your metallic grey.

Hi, I got a 2nd hand Mazda 6 a year back and it has been problem free for me as the previous owner took care of the car.

The usual wear and tear as its a 2nd hand car (i.e. Suspension, engine mounts, aircon)

Otherwise, I really don't see any other major issues besides the usual car servicing.

I guess if you have maintained the car from Day 1, it's make no sense for you to change absorbers at 100k unless the absorbers are starting to fail...

Hi Zenooi,

About time cos typically 100k km ... else soon to fail will affect comfort, roadholding, wears out tyres prematurely etc. and can cost you more in the long run.

Cheers.

Hi all,

I am considering a 2019 Feb registered Mazada 6 standard (2018 production unit). It has the latest grill..but is this the latest facelift?

is it worth extending the warranty from 3 to 5 yrs? anyone know the cost?

also, is it possible to retrofit HUD?

Better to buy the Executive grade that comes with it factory fitted, the HUD is driven by the car's software for brightness and position adjustment, etc. Even if you were prepared to spend the money it might not work.

Not worth to extend the Warranty.

The reading in my temperature gauge is typically close to 100 degree Celsius as shown after the engine has been running for a while. May I check whether this is normal coolant temperature for a Skyactiv-G 2.0 running engine? Thanks!
