Hi, It's been a while since I posted to the Forum but I'm looking for advice as the subject line.
My 2011 Mazda 3 has a DSE Direkt Start remote installed. AFAIK, it didn't come with factory remote...

Mke sure it actually has remote keless entry before you go buy a fob.

it was optional on 2004. I got caught.

I have a problem in the cold weather that the seatbelts won't retract fully, there is always about 1/2 left out and most times the buckle gets between the door and the frame and if I don't notice (or...

I had mine changed under warranty at Kingston Mazda. I had to pay for a new belt because the old one was worn but no diagnostic fee. It was in twice, first time I came out with a free new A/C clutch....

Glad you have a resolution.
4 sec is a long time to blow your horn. R for 1 sec would have avoided it and the hassle.

No it wont fit. 2012 Sentra has a 4 lug rim and a smaller centre bore than the 5 lug rim on the Mazda.

Dealer replaced my 2 rear shocks under warranty @ 28000 km. So quite possibly yours are due at 80,000km.

I feel your pain. Remember, on average you're still ahead as a DIYer.

OK, I read my manual: They are "tie downs" only definitely not for towing... and for the 2011 sedan only for the front bumper.
The rear tie downs are welded under the rear bumper.
Since I wont be...

There are none in my trunk, 2011 MZ3 4dr bought used.
Where do you put them when you need a tow?

Well, I don't drive the car often so I don't know exactly what she is experiencing but as I said and meant it appears that for her it doesn't downshift appropriately. Perhaps she isn't mashing the...

Hi,

My wife was complaining she didn't have any power in her 2011 MZ3 2.0l %sp automatic.
I was asking her, doesn't it downshift when you mash the gas pedal... but she just said no it chugs along...

Tires tires tires...I need a bunch especially winter tires so I'm reading and puzzling lots. I read that some winter tires use a silica compound with bubbles in the tread but only the outer parts...

None of the Mazda wheels have an asterisk, you can use OE lugs.
I also noticed Costco has a revised wheel chart since a few days ago, the new chart lists the 15" wheels for the Mazda 3 2.0l ...

I am looking at a set of winter wheels as well. I saw the hubcentric steelies and they are pretty good price although I don't know how they would perform, so I'm also looking for Forum experience....

I hope the OP posts what Mazda did for her car, and if it's fixed. My 3 made a weird sound from the right side of the engine also when "gassing", and also between 1500-2000 rpm. The dealership...

I use this one to compare tires:

I've been looking for a set of winters for a stock mz3.

Just curious as to how much it costs for a "rust check" or "Krown" treatment on a used MZ3? Mine is a 2011, no visible rust and I'd like to keep it 10 yrs, ie, until 2024 when I will retire. It only...

YMMV, my experience goes back 25+ yrs. I purchased a 626 new from Kieswetter, the "deal" was an arduous knock em out ordeal that took about 3 hrs. I had to wait 2 weeks for delivery (base model 626 -...

Your poll has gone South.... because now there are 2 cars.
First one 2009 looks too pricey, second one 2011 is under priced. Good advice given above, due diligence needed.
I recently went through...

CT sells the MotorMaster brand, and Quaker State, and possibly Mobil 1 in 0W20. The QS was on sale for about $35/5l jug, a few weeks ago and the MM brand was under $30 /5l jug. I bought it on sale...

Follow up: Kingston Mazda replaced right shocks to solve ticking sound and that cured the issue. However, the belt noises were still there and belt was frayed on the outer edge and squealing. Also a...

Had my MZ3 in to check the noises today and they were super at the dealership!
I gave a detailed description of the 3 problem areas: 1. alternator-A/C-wp belt noises (new A/C clutch installed); 2....

Thanks for replies. I registered the change of ownership with Mazda Canada using the online service. I called my local dealer (only one in Kingston) and have an appointment for week after next...

I bought a 2011 Mazda 3 last month, 26000 km on it. Door jamb shows manufactured 07/11, Car Proof showed it was first registered (in Quebec) in March 2012. A few questions on warranty coverage:
