Question by Straud K: Mazda Parts?
I have a 1990 Mazda B2200. It has 2 catalytic converters. The first bolts directly to the exhaust manifold. The second is downline before the muffler. I need the gasket that goes between the manifold and the first converter. No one can come up with this gasket.

Have you tried a muffler\exhaust shop? I would think that they could get you one. Otherwise try a junkyard.

Question by meme3: Why won’t my Mazda shift out of park in the cold?
I posted this in the general repairs forum before I saw the Mazda section. I have a Mazda 626 ES. For some reason it won’t shift out of park when the temperatures are around freezing. I’ve tried warming it up for a very long time, rocking the car, etc. Eventually with a lot of finesse, it finally goes into reverse. The transmission fluid has recently been changed. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

What do you think? Answer below!

Zoom, zoom, zoom… Do you remember the old Mazda RX-7 or the ever popular autocross champion Mazda Miata? Mazda cars have always focused on exhilarating performance, as it is in fact the hallmark of their brand. Mazda was actually the first to put the performance benefits of Wankel’s rotary engine to work in consumer production vehicles; now today the Renesis rotary engine which is found in the amazing new Mazda RX-8 has the title of International engine of the year.

With all of these choices, which is the best choice for you? Well to clearly identify that you need to take a trip down to your local Mazda shop and test drive a few, stop by Mazda parts and service to look over your choice of accessories, as once you have a Mazda you will have to make it your very own. There are so many ways to dress up and make your Mazda stand out in the crowd; it would truly be a shame not to take advantage of them.

Whether you are in Mazda USA, Mazda Canada, or Mazda Japan, you will find a high quality well performing vehicle for your needs. Unfortunately for you United States and Canada folks, you will have to take a backseat on the Mazda Bongo, which will be primarily sold in Japan. We’re talking kitchen units, fold out beds, and elevated roof for heightened adult comfort. Great comfort, decent economy, and a look that will bring you back to the days of tie dye and flowers in your hair, that is what is know as the Mazda Bongo.

Mazda is not all performance cars and hippy vans of course; in fact there is quite a line of classy family coupes and sedans that would great in just about anyone’s driveway. The Mazda Protege, also known as the Mazda 323 has been around since 1976 when it was first introduced as a rear wheel drive economy based compact. Built to last the Mazda Protege is not as of yet extinct, but has been promoted as the all new Mazda 3.

The all new Mazda 3 has a much roomier feel these days, and the engine choices will have you humming the entire way to work. They are all around great cars for everyone from your father to your teenager. The Mazda 3 is a definite winner. But if three is this good; you just have to wonder what the six could be.

The Mazda 626 came in around the same time as the 323, and was considered to be a moderately upscale compact with more flair and comfort than the 323. Just a few years later the Mazda 626 would be called Motor Trends import car of the year, and Mazda was definitely looking like they were going to be around for awhile. Now if a sport coupe was more to your liking then all you had to do was remove the last two numbers, and the Mazda 6 was the car for you.

The Mazda 6 was a rather nice performer compared to the previous 626, and could be woken up even more with its optional 2.2 liter turbo engine. Sold to the consumer at various trim levels the Mazda 6 definitely had a sporty feel; with a leather interior, 3-way adjustable suspension, ABS brakes, and electric sunroof the Mazda 6 was albeit not as sporty as the Mazda RX-7, but was definitely the next best thing. Now if ripping the streets is not your thing and an occasional romp through the trails is more your speed, then the Mazda tribute, which is actually based on the Mazda 626 platform, should be your weapon of choice.

The Mazda Tribute is a small crossover SUV, designed for the city folk with a country heart. With a four or six cylinder engine and firmer ride, the Tribute makes a great all around family transporter. But once again, Mazda did not quit here. Today’s buyer now has the option of the all new Mazda CX-7, which is considered to be “the SUV you never saw coming”. Sleek, Muscular, and performance car handling brings the CX-7 into the next millennium singing “Zoom, zoom, zoom” all the way to the grocery store!

Before the year ends, Mazda will expand its diesel offerings in Australia.

An example is the Mazda 3 diesel that will join the Mazda6 and is expected to arrive in September. It will be available in both sedan and hatchback form, the Mazda 3 will have the same engine as the present Mazda6 diesel.

One hundred five kilowatt (105 kW) and 360Nm are produced by the 2.0-litre common-rail turbo diesel and its fuel consumption is rated at 6L/100km.

Will only be available in the one Maxx Sport trim level, the Mazda 3 will feature a rear spoiler as well as 16-inch wheels. And not like the petrol models, Direct Stability Control will be available as a standard feature.

Alistair Doak, Mazda spokesman, said that the Japanese company is targeting to sell more than 100 Mazda3 diesels per month. However, he added that it will be a reasonably small percentage of overall sold Mazda 3 units. For the month of May, Mazda reached sales of 2758 units. This figure means that the car is the second most popular small car, next to Toyota Corolla.

Mazda originally forecasted 50 sales per month for the Mazda 6 diesel when it went on sale. But Doak said that they now target 100 models per month. He added that the company has no plans to expand the diesel range further in Australia.

He explained that the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 will be the two diesel passenger cars, the car types that comprise the highest sales in Europe. He further explained that their fellow Japanese car makers are not offering any diesel car and the company is introducing the second one.

He also said that the company has no plans for diesel engines in the larger CX-7 as well as to the yet-to-arrive CX-9 because these cars are primarily for the market in North America, where demand for diesel is far too low.

The generation of the Mazda 2 will follow after the Mazda 3 diesel. The Mazda 2, which is smaller, will go on sale in October and is expected to remain at nearly ,000 for the entry model.

According to Doak, buyers can expect that the new Mazda2 will be comparable in price to the current car, which begins at ,335 for the Neo and rises to ,290 for the excellent Genki model. He added that the Mazda2 would be available only with a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine, not like some of its competing cars, which offer 1.3-litre entry models. He further stated that as to the cost, certainly there is not much difference.

With the light car running in the third spot of sales behind Mazda3 and Mazda6, the Mazda 2, according to him, is an essential part of the overall line-up. He said that the car’s styling brings it into line with the rest of the Mazda line-up. He also said that the company has always established good image regarding being a leader in style and the Mazda2 should also establish good reputation in the light-car segment.

Since December 2002, the current car has been on sale. So far this year, Mazda has sold 3045 units, which is a 30 percent increase on last year’s sales figures.

The industry is also expecting that Mazda will carry over the existing three model names; Neo, Maxx and Genki.

With curtain and side airbags as options and the ABS in the current model, safety has been the very aim of building the car. The new one is expected to add dynamic stability control feature to the safety kit. This new comer removed nearly 100kg of weight from its predecessor.

The company says that high-tensile steel was utilized to slice out weight without putting at risk the safety, body inflexibility, noise, vibration and sharpness. It also claims that the car has improved up to 15 percent over the current car. So this has benefits for fuel economy. The 60/40 split rear-fold seat is still present while the luggage area has been decreased from 280 to 250 liters.

The 1.5-litre offers 76kW at 6000 revs and 136Nm at 4000 revs – decreases from 82kW at 6000 revs and 141Nm at 4000 revs.

About Mazda Motor Corporation

A Japanese automotive manufacturer that is based in Hiroshima, Japan, Mazda Motor Corporation is a well known producer of different types of vehicles as well as their corresponding Mazda auto parts. It began supplying tools in 1929 and soon branched out into production of trucks for commercial purposes.

The manufacturer’s name is derived from the transcendental God of Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda. It is also believed that Mazda coincides with the anglicized pronunciation of Zoroastrianism founder’s name, Jujiro Matsuda, and opted to rename it in honor of both his family and the believers of Zoroastrianism. In the Avestan language, Mazda means “wisdom”. Nonetheless, because the company is from Japan, the name has always been pronounced and spelled as “Matsuda”. This leads the public to believe that “Mazda” is just an anglicized version of the founder.

The company is expected to produce 1.25 million vehicles annually as of 2006. Among Japan, Europe, North America, and Latin America, its sales will be evenly divided.

Mazda’s 33.4% of controlling interest is controlled by the Ford Motor Company.

It is also equipped with Mazda’s Active Torque Split All Wheel Drive system. The latter includes dynamic fuel injection parts Mazda injectors, which are incorporated to Mazda6 MPS.

Mazda Atenza or Mazda6, on one hand, replaced Capella. So far, the diesel-powered vehicle is the first generation of Mazda’s stylish, youthful and spirited range. The new BT-50 truck range was given an exciting blend of sophistication and functionality to come up with outstanding and versatile trucks.

The zoom-zoom spirit of Mazda is reflected on every Mazda showroom with all the vibrant settings of attractive wall-to-wall posters which are enhanced further by a new staff uniforms, sleek stands, and badges that creates a totally new ambience.

And since Mazda targets youth buyers it is interested in everything that the youth finds exciting whether it is bowling or inter college quiz competitions and even movies. And speaking of movies at the recent showings of the blockbuster Spiderman 3 at the Al Shatti Plaza, Mazda again has made its presence felt. Special posters were made and Mazda 3 cars were displayed. These special posters invite moviegoers to take a peek into the cars on display while they catch a show of the season’s biggest hit. Mazda has also organized an exclusive showing of the James Bond hit Casino Royale by reserving the entire theatre for its customers.

Mazda has also made use of the radio in disseminating news about its products whether it is an announcement of new product launch, radio slots for giving away prizes or simply gaining attention for their ongoing promotions, the radio has become an important media for Mazda. For the promotion of Spiderman 3, Mazda has given away a couple of tickets to those who correctly answered questions on air.

In every promotion that Mazda employs it always strived to be original. It makes sure that it would go beyond more than just a display of cars. In addition, Mazda was the first car brand in Oman to even have a Valentine’s Promotion and to celebrate the event, red snazzy Mazdas were made available to liven up the season of hearts.

According to Annurag Chawla, Brand Manager, Mazda, “A brand is the integration and implementation of a comprehensive marketing programme. Branding is an ode to the quality of a product.

Hence, building brand equity requires immaculate and creative thinking to be able to stand out. This belief is what we translate into our innovative branding and marketing strategies.”

Mazda is successfully building its dynamic image to every corner of Oman through innovative media choices, opening of new additional branches and service stations, and the applications of unique kinds of promotional schemes.
