So my P5 has started having some issues with the passenger headlight. I bought new headlights in December, then one went out. I put in one of my old ones and that worked fine for a week until it died. This morning I went a picked up a new bulb, and literally 2 hours after installing it, it...

So I think all three of these symptoms are related but I can't be too sure. I lose about half the break fluid every 1.5 months and it has recently been getting worse. Kind of wondering if it is a product of of the increased heat lately. Anyway, usually after driving for several hours (seems...

I started my car and heard a new noise. It sounded like it was coming from behind the glovebox, but I checked fine and couldn't get it to go away form inside. I popped my hood and the noise disappeared, but I confirmed something that I had been thinking for a while: bad motor mounts. The...

Not sure if all P5's use the 5 lug hub but I'm pretty sure most do. I just thought you all should know about the crap that Dorman is pulling. Two weeks ago I went to replace my front right wheel bearing. When I finally got it apart (it wasn't easy) I found that my hub was bad. So I ordered...

So I went to rotate my tires and found that there was a sizable amount of brake fluid that had leaked onto the wheel. I went looking for the source but couldn't find anything. It looks like it leaked out of the bottom caliper where the parking brake line is connected. The brake fluid level...

So yesterday (the first 70+ day we've had this year) I noticed that my car was making a strange noise. It was doing it the worst when accelerating, and the harder the acceleration the louder it got. While doing a very light take off with the clutch it is still heard but very little. When it...

So, I've heard that there is an alarm module for the P5. Can anyone shed some light on the subject? I would like to find one and install one. Would it have to be Mazda or there anyone else that makes one that hooks up without splicing and tapping... Has anyone done a lighted approach mod for...

So after searching for fog lights for my p5 and not finding anything I went with some cheap driving lights. The only thing is when I turn my brights on they go off. I'm just curious if mazda did this for a reason (because of the purpose of fog lights and not needing them if the brights are on...

It's summertime and it's hot, so the AC is being used quite often. Recently, I've noticed that when I turned the temp selector to cold, put the position to my feet, and turn the fan on the air conditioning comes on. The switch isn't on but it turns on anyway. Is this normal?

So I'm replacing one of my broken fog lights. It is far beyond repair and will need a new housing. I've seen different fog lights available but I'm not sure what to get. A stock replacement runs $90 off eBay and if your lucky $30-40 used. What would you guys recommend? Are the cheap ebay...

So here's my problem... I bought my car a few weeks ago, replaced the ignition coils but it acted up on me before then. Fixed the exhaust leak between the catalytic converter and manifold. (Car sounds a lot better now) So, now its still spitting out the same code P0241 (Warm up cat out of...

Recently purchased my 02 P5 and its a great car, I just have noticed something that seems a little odd to me. When I start the car the engine revs up to 2100 or 2200 rpms and then quickly drops to around 1600. But when it is climbing rapidly to the top there is a lot of engine noise, it sounds...

Need the retaining clips for Protege5 headlights. Willing to pay $$

Hi, I'm new to Mazda and the P5 but I have to say it is definitely the best car I've ever owned. But after taking it for a drive the other night I noticed that the headlights were off. Just the low beam and not high beam. Next day, I went to unplug the headlight and investigate and realized...
