Re: Lost drive

Hate to say it but it sounds like the box has to come off to check the Clutch at least.
If everything is ok then it sounds like it’s internals on the Box ☹️☹️☹️

Re: Rear trailing arms

Answer is no if it’s the Trailing Arms and yes it’s the Lateral arms. Subframe has to be lowered to get the bolts out of the Front ones as they won’t clear the Fuel Tank. If you doing the rear ones be careful with the Camber Bolts as they can snap. Finally good luck with the bottom hub bolt as this ...

Re: Mazda MX6 rear brakes - insufficient pressure

Could be the Brake Hoses, but I’d be looking at the Mechanics 1st. Does the Piston wind in and out on the adjuster easily ? Does the Calliper slide easily on it’s Pins ? Are the Pads to tight on the Mountings ? Is everything Greased up ? Is the Handbrake Cable set to tight and using more movement th...

I'm interested to understand how an injector can cause this?
If the Injector was faulty and not opening up enough or partially blocked then it cause lean running ie to much air and not enough fuel

Re: Trailing Arm Bushes

I’ve just removed all of the Rear Arms from my MX6. Yes they were rusty and yes they were a pain but lots of WD40 and working the Bolts backwards and forwards and they should come out OK. Now the long bolts that go though the Bottom of the Hub for the Lateral Arms, they are a B***h to get out but I ...

Re: Early 24v issues

If the pipes to the IAC are cold then it could be a blockage on the EGR Valve as the IAC water lines run though this. The EGR has a steel pipe that runs round it and this can corrode and get blocked stopping flow in and out of the IAC. Also check where the IAC pipe joins the Engine block as this is ...
