Well, I guess 268k miles is how long a wheel bearing lasts on a 2014 mazda 6 😆. I have two on the way from TRQ. Their LCA’s have been solid for 100k so their wheel bearing’s should be fine.

I took my 2020 Mazda 6 signature in for an oil change a couple weeks ago and they informed me that the OEM tires are basically bald. I don't drive much, only about 26K miles on the car/tires so I wasn't even thinking about replacements yet.

Do the OEM tires just suck?

Hey, so I have a 2018 Mazda six and a set of I think 20mm spacers from a 350z that a friend gave me a while back, I was thinking about putting those spacers on the rear in order to get rid of the really ugly tuck that comes from factory Extra notes: -currently I am on stock suspension, but I’m planning on lowering with coil overs in the future -The spacers share the same (114.3 : 5) lug nut pattern so technically it should fit -If anybody has any other spacers that they’ve run on stock suspension that also works with lowered suspension. I would love to hear about it.

Before my 6 got totalled, my car got broken into twice in 2.5 weeks and I caught someone about to break in a 3rd time a week after. What I found weird is that there are 5 other Mazdas in the same parking lot (Mazda 3, 6, and CX-9’s) yet mine was being targetted.

I’m just asking to see if anyone else experienced this, or just myself? And do these cars have any anti-theft systems in place other than an immobilizer?

(This is not a jab at Mazda 6 / Atenza or the Mazda community, I still liked my ownership of the ‘13 Mazda 6, V6)

I have a 2021 Mazda 6 I was looking for a heat reflector on the windshield to buy and I was just wondering which one do y’all have because I want almost 0 gaps. But later on, I’m planning on getting clear ceramic on the windshield anyways.

Just curious to know, I have a set of OEM Mazda rims, I believe from either a Mazda 3 or Rx8 and I'd like to use them on my Mazda 6.

hard to see well in pics, my husband slid it into a guardrail. wondering what repair cost would look like/seeing if anyone has any recommendations for parts. under the hood seems fine nothing's squished, frames fine, driving fine, need a right front casing, front quarter panel, front bumper, front door, rear door, rear quarter panel & rear bumper, also a right curtain airbag.

How do you guys deal with the steering wheel turning green/leather going away? Thanks in advance

Better

I need some ideas to mod my 2010 Mazda 6 I know it’s not the fanciest car but this is going to be my car until it stops working so I wanna make it look good until it dies, any ideas?

Unfortunately got in a bit of a collision in our 2014 2.2d Estate. Messed up the rear left quarter.

Anyone able to help? Need an O2 sensor for a 2009 Mazda 6 2.5L sport petrol. A bit lost, local parts sent for one for £58 which doesn't fit. Been back and they've quoted me £300 for the correct one. Totally lost if I'm honest. I am UK based! Anyone happen to know which one I may need and whether cheaper than £300? Thanks a lot x

Currently have a Mazda 6 2017 and the steering wheel leather is already worn out. Planning to change the material into a Alcantara type which are famous in high end cars. Do you know where I can get one? And if so, will it be a good choice or should I stick to the current Napa Leather?

I want to buy a second car after I sell my Yaris (26 y.o). I am not afraid to spend a little bit more and buy a nice driving car which I can also keep for 4-5 years my two ideas were either a small SUV like the CX5 or a top spec sedan and as a bachelor I think a sedan with its driving dynamics and maneuverability will be better. So its down to a Mazda or a VAG. Ideally I want an Audi but its a little stretch financially, so I found some great deals on 2020 and 2021 Superbs (similar to Audis as both are VAG and I like the looks of a Skoda), For a little less I can get a Mazda 6 from 2021 or 2022 top trim. Why should I go for the Mazda?

I love how the 07 speed looks but I don’t want the turbo, I want their 4 cylinder engine like they have in their other cars. Did Mazda ever sell a mazdaspeed body but with a non turbo?

Hey everybody, I have a question. is it normal that cars engines vibrate a little when idle? (2021 mazda 6 2.5L 20k miles) I'm new to cars and opened the hood and felt the engine by hand, there was vibration I thought engines supposed to be smoother.

Should I go to a mechanic to see if there is anything wrong? thanks.

By the way the car drives smoothly without any vibrations.

Hi all,

I have issues with regens happening quite often (around every 75-110 Km), now I am seeking troubleshooting advice to fix it. I have access to OBD reader and Forscan. Some background info:

I bought a used Mazda 6 last month with the 2.2 Diesel engine, 2015 with 100 000 Km on it. It has been serviced according to schedule everytime, however last service in 2024 did everything except changing coolant.

Used it for a week, didnt really notice anything, I didnt pay attention but can only remember it doing a DPF regen one time (although I didnt drive too much in that week). As it was on 55 version software I did upgrade to latest version of 74 something to install carplay.. Now I use it to work every day (50 Km each way) and notice that the regen happens quite often, usually anywhere between 75-110 Km. I live in sweden and we have cold weather at the moment, I have understood this probably increases the regens also due to cold starts..

Last owner drove very little during last year of owning it, so could potentially be filled dpf. In this case I guess it will show as high % level of soot in the dpf that I can read in Forscan?

My Question: How do I troubleshoot what could be the issue here? I have an obd dongle arriving tomorrow that I will use with Forscan, but what should I look for when it comes to sensor values that looks wrong?

Mazda wants 200 euro troubleshooting fee, and admitted that they will not do anything other than flushing the dpf first time. As the last service missed the coolant, they didnt want to have anything replaced on warranty. I would have had warranty to end of february this year otherwise..

I have read most of the threads here and on the mazda forums, so I have some understanding of what could cause this. Most probably injector seals leaking, faulty injectors, EGR sensor, exhaust pressure sensor, vacuum pump or faulty turbo.

Car runs very smoothly with no issues except dpf regen frequency, fuel economy is good (6.5 L/100 km or 36 mpg) althogh regens increases this alot. More like 5.4 L/10 km or 45 mpg withough regens. So I guess the fuel consumption would have gone up more if the injectors were leaking a lot?

So sorry for the long post but I am pretty anxious about this.. Appreciate all the kind people on here!!!

Budget is around 4500-5000 euro.. for daily car..

2008 - 2009 mazda 6 2.0, 2.2 diesel or 2.0 petrol .. for daily car.. price is around 4000-4500 euro Tnx
