    Protege 5 service manual

    Just wanted to pop on and say I put a little bit more info on that page for you guys. TheMAN sent me an unofficial transmission supplement for the 03 models since Mazda failed to document some design changes. Happy teardowns...

    Any Good Mazda shops/Mechanics in the Madison area?

    that's the only recall out on the car, you can check if your vehicle is affected based on the VIN If it is affected, the dealer should take care of it for you (not a fan of Don Miller sales staff, no experience w/ their mechanics)

    Any Good Mazda shops/Mechanics in the Madison area?

    Turfburn's garage (j/k, but he has helped me a lot w/ my p5 at his place) What kind of stuff do you need checked out? There isn't much outside of the standard things to check on them, except for the 1 recall on a very small set of them.

    Light Humming Noise?

    Technical Service Bulletin. They are issued by the manufacturer for certified techs to reference for common problems. A TSB is NOT a recall, as some people get them confused.

    A/C only works in position 1 & 4

    I'd get your A/C checked out, could be something wrong elsewhere... compressor bad, needs a recharge, etc

    Work Shop Manual

    For the most part, the MSP is the same as any other 02-03 Protege, aside from the turbo, brakes, and maybe suspension? The rest is probably the same or close enough for this manual to fit your needs.

    Work Shop Manual

    Thanks for the feedback. I think I've found the problem. I attempt to throttle the bandwidth, and when it is maxed out, it gives forbidden messages. I'll have to look into changing the way I do things. I didn't realize that many people where hitting it. I've upped the connection limit from...

    Work Shop Manual

    hmm, I'll have to look into the floptical problem a bit more. I didn't realize it was such a problem for people. Hopefully I can get it straightened out... Update: I changed a few settings and shuffled the location of some files, let me know if problems persist.

    I need your help!

    opinions on what? It will always be cheaper to keep your devaluing car than to dump more money into a new one and start the process all over again... there is no way that the 3 can be cheaper in the short and long run than a car you currently (or almost currently) have paid off Unless you...

    Selling the mp3?? whats the reason????

    He's got it for sale on the forums too. He wants to move up classes in autocross and wants to make sure it isn't the car that is holding him back basically. Time to move on... Sad to see it happen, with all the time and money he's poured into it. Some lucky bastard is going to get a great...

    I wanna buy an MS3 GT

    I shouldn't have to know "the right people" to talk to there. They should all be at the same level of service. I've tried to deal with several sales people and they have all been rather uncooperative or rude. I won't argue with your experience, as everyone has had their own and is entitled to...

    I wanna buy an MS3 GT

    I concur! I've yet to have a good experience with Don Miller sales staff, both in finding myself a Mazda and more recently, my friend looking for a P5. I'd go elsewhere as well. But I'm not one to judge, if you're personally satisfied with the service, pricing, etc, go for it!
