    Just turned in my VW Jetta earlier this week. Local Mazda dealer didn't know of the TDI discount, and I couldn't find anything online, looks like a no go here in So Cal. My dealer's first offer was in the 7-9% off range, I shot for 15% but settled at 13%...... Sam

    Blue Coolant Light

    I would bet the blue light is Mazda's version of a coolant temperature gauge that other car's have........the blue light is the same as a gauge with the needle on the "C"....for cold. I imagine if you don't drive like a teenager when the light is blue, you'll be fine. Sam

    Rotors

    When the wear indicators start to squeal, time to replace the pads. If they start to squeal and you keep driving for a few more weeks, then the brake pad rivets will groove the rotors. Sam

    Do you need to replace fuel filter every two years?

    This was true quite a few years ago but not so much anymore. The storage tanks now days are have good filtering systems and electronic monitoring for water and stuff that doesn't belong in there. By shopping at the newer, high volume stations, your risk of bad gas is minimal. Sam
