MAZDA 6

[Genes]

where can i find a mazda stockist?

also if i can find the prices?

 

my car suspension has some funny sound, every now and then when steering is fully locked and there is pressure applied to the wheels there will be a tang sound, sometimes it happens a few times but othertimes no sound at all

 

so i'm considering to change the entire suspension set up but afraid it'll be a huge sum

 

Search this thread. Someone posted in the earlier pages.

60K for fuel filter is too kiasu :) especially our petrol quality grade is quite good.

 

How much are you being charged for it?

 

Buy it from stockist + labour should be <$150/160 there about? (if memory did not fail me)

 

Changing for Mz6 very mah fun.....remove back seat.....whole car smell of fuel ...but do not know if that is the case for the GH series u r driving

 

i've never bought from stockist before, how do i go about it?

i go down and enquire about the prices and place my order? do they accept credit cards?

or should i call over the phone?

Stockist just like retail shop but dun expect (retail) customer service type of service....they are more B2B :)

 

Calling them .....most of the time they dun pick up.....even they do...u must prepare the car + model + year + part number (if u have) so they can give u the availability + $$....they only give u 2-3 mins tops :)

 

Visit them ..... is the best approach (My peronal opinion)....prepare the above info also. They have accept cash + NETS

ran 707km recently when my needle dropped below the 1/4 mark, went to the petrol station and pumped 53.3l which works out to 13.26km/l

 

quite amazing that a 1.5ton car can be so fuel efficient!

That is amazing. I could never get it above 10.5 when I had my 2010 Mz6.

hi folks,

 

i was test driving a 2008 (GH series) mazda 6 and notice that there is no blue illumination on the dashboard meter... only have the usual orange illumination.

 

is this something which can be turn on/off? or the blue and orange illumination only comes on when the headlight is on?

 

thanks in advance.

if i'm not wrong blue illumination is enabled only on the newer >09 m6 models or the hatchback models

Nope. It should be available in 2008 version cos i saw another 2008 version havin the blue illumination. Any mazda 6 owner can confirm whether the blue illumination can be on/off or it only appear when it's dark. Something like auto headlight sensor

I think u are looking for the R spec 6 if u want something other that the usual orange lights. The normal V spec cars' dash only light up in orange. R spec and the 2.5s get the prettier lighting u are looking for.

[Surferguy1978]

Yup i look at the R specs. Seems like the one i drove dont have the blue lights. Thus just looking for clarification online.

 

Might go down again to take a look.

Look harder.. if the R spec doesnt have the lights, either the dash has been changed/meddled with, or it could be a simple malfunction. GOod luck!

[Surferguy1978]

ya, it have the blue lights but it's pretty dim... probably the bulb is worn out...

 

i noticed one thing, the 2008 mazda 6 steering wheel have a slight vibration when stationery. i'm suspecting it could be engine mount issue.

 

anyone know what the cost to replace the engine mount?

 

any 2008 mazda 6 owner experience this before and is your vibration related to engine mounting?

R spec should have the blackout metre if i m not wrong...

Hi,

My is R spec 2L / Aug 2008.

There is a small knob on top of fuel gauge.

Press to on/off the dashboard light.

Turn to adjust brightness.

 

For slight vibration at steering wheel, need to change engine mounting- works for me.

 

 

 

[Surferguy1978]

Ya, thanks bro! I noticed the knob on top of the fuel gauge. No matter how I turn, the blue light is still dim. So my conclusion is the bulb issue. Yup vibration is most likely engine mounting after asking workshop.
