I have been looking for a suitable and durable exhaust replacement for our Mazda5. The oem pipe after the flex is starting to go where the support bracket is welded to it (where the bend is close to 90 degrees), and the tailpipe/muffler is also very rusty. No fumes inside the cabin so far, but...

Hello again, all. I heard my wife start her 5 tonight, and it sounded really loud. It has a broken flex pipe. I noticed that it is all one piece from the manifold, through the cat and flex pipe, down to the flange where it bolts on to the rest of the exhaust. Is there a system that is out...

I am trying to figure out how to open my wife's passenger rear sliding door on her 2007 Mazda5. It won't open from the outside or the inside after a recent snow/ice storm. The outside handle literally came off in my hand. I managed to get the inside door handle cover off from the front...

I recently replaced the thermostat on my wife's '07 Mazda5 because the check engine light came on. The system is full right now, but there is no heat coming out of the heater core. Is there a specific bleeding procedure for these? I right now have tried idling it for 20 plus minutes twice...

I just received my spin on conversion kit for our Mazda5. Is there anything I need to know before installing it. I have some time before I put it in because i just did the oil change on it, and I plan on keeping the original setup until the next change. I am pretty excited about this, as I...

We have some really steep approach angles on the aprons to local businesses, crazy potholes, and some nasty ice chunks in the winter, and the underside of our 5 is taking quite a beating. I saw evidence that the ac compressor took a pretty significant hit at some point between my last oil...

My wife informed me she was getting a really loud rattle when idling, and a scraping sound on occasion when driving up concrete aprons off of the street. I looked under the car and the gas tank heat shield was folded down and bent over. Her Mazda5 is a 2007. The little nuts that hold the heat...

My wife's Mazda5 has the projector looking headlights at the corners. I believe they are the low beams, and when driving at night they seem very dim. I am wondering where the adjustment is to maybe aim them up a hair. Specifically the driver's side. It seems like it lights the ground...

I live in Wisconsin. I am trying to replace the front struts in my wife's Mazda5. I also have new rotors and pads that i wanted to throw on while it is all apart, but I can't get past the initial step of loosening the axle nut. I pounded back the little bend in the locking part of the nut so...
