The lamination on the old mirror is pealing. Bought an OEM replacement on Amazon. Saw video on YouTube about sticking a screwdriver to release and slide the old mirror out. Is this the proper way on my model car? I tried inserting the screwdriver but the old mirror does not slide out. This a...

I read on Mazda's MX-5 2016 Manual that you should that you should not go through an Automatic Car Wash if you have a power retractable hard top. Is this true? Do you guys and girls only wash yours by hand? I need a wash and don't really want to wash and wax by hand. Read Here for a 2016 MX-5...

Just purchased a used MX-5 with the hard top. When I have the top closed and I'm driving I hear a creaking/cracking type noise off and on right side passenger side coming from the top. Anyone know what the noise is? The top goes up and down with no issues. I just hear the sound when top is up.I...

I have a 2000 Mazda Protege DX 1.6 *vehicle. I am trying to bypass the AC without having to take out the AC compressor and by having the belt bypass the compressor. I thought there was enough clearance to just bypass the compressor without having to physically remove the compressor but I guess...

Does anyone know if my car has enough clearance in order to put on a shorter belt and by pass the AC compressor completely without having to remove it? Compressor locked up and I just want to get through the next 5 months without AC so I can save for a new Car. I have a 2000 Mazda Protege' DX...

OK so I had a noise every time I engaged the AC switch on in my car. A rattle. It would last 5 or 6 seconds and was intermittent. I drove the car like that for 6 months. Now the AC does not come on and when I look inside car the AC Clutch was slipping & not engaging but now it does not turn spin...

I have a slight oil pan leak. My Left Crossmember Cap Popped Off and won't go back on because of Oil I guess. If I try to pop it in it just pops back out. Guess I need a new one. Is it bad to drive around without the Cap on? I'm afraid debris will get inside. Thanks in advance. CAP, MEMBER...

OK, so I finally buy a Rebuilt EGR Valve on eBay (I know...but let me give you details). My Car has had a Rough Idle when it starts up & at Stop Lights, especially when it's Cold. The Code was the "EGR Excessive Air Flow" code. I brought my Rebuilt eBay EGR & I had a shop put it in & they...

I'm going to make a very long story shorter. Had a Paint & Body Shop replace my door and when I got the door back, when I opened & closed the door it made a snapping or popping sound right at the halfway mark of opening or closing. As I did not want this shop, who I have no faith in to fix it...

I'm hearing a strange sound like a small motor, coming from the passenger front side of my car when I start ignition or turn off ignition. It only happens sometimes. Not everytime. It just started happening las week because I never heard or noticed it before. I have a DX. No powered seats. Does...

Just had my car checked out but lately I'm noticing little oil leak spots from underneath the passenger side of the car on my Garage floor. The spots are the size of dime. I had my mechanic check it out about 2 weeks ago & he said there was some oil around the oil filter left over from a...

Question: Do codes come back after you disconnect battery, even if you Fix the problem. I know the code will still be in History, But if you fix the problem, then diconnect battery to shut off "Check Engine Light". Will the same code come back anyway since it was not cleared from the computer ...

The guy who I bought my car from had the K&N Air Filter. The one you clean with a special Solution & then coat with oil. It's suppose to last forever I hear. Well the dealership told me it was dirty. I don't have the solution or oil to clean it with. I'm wondering is this filter all it's cracked...
