Does anyone know how to adjust the windshield washer nozzle on the mazda 3

[originalbling]

^ each side has 2 nozzles with two holes each iirc.
use a pin or small needle and stick it in one side and try to adjust it. dont send the pin in all the way, it might widen the hole too much. and dont use a small tip pliers either, the plastic will get damaged easily.

Though that is an option you may get the seals faster. If it ain't broke don't try to fix it...yet...

Do you have the factory sail panels with the tweeters? If not, you can use a hole saw and retrofit a tweeter in the existing housing. Most reputable speaker brand component kits come with different mounting options.

no electrical problems if you use a 35w HID kit. If you're going with a 55w kit, you'll need to use a relay harness. Oh and once you're installing HIDs on the Mazda 3, you'll need H7 spacers for the bulbs to fit properly.

[dredman1]

Even our "sweltering heat" doesn't go over 40c so that 50 body is over kill and will add uneccessary premature wear

Good point - didn't look at it from that perspective. Will try the 10W30 next oil purchase.

Hey guys i have an 07 Mazda 3 and it's giving hard starting problems on mornings and in the afternoon after work, When I turn the ignition it tumble starts on the first try and sounds like it's stifling, I accelerate on the gas and it starts up. This happens occasionally, If I drive the car say 3-4 hrs ago it doesn't give hard starting issues.

I've checked my mechanic, sparkplugs are new (iridium), air filter changed and oil change is done, fuel injector and throttle body has been serviced, I use Redline fuel injector cleaner every 4 fills etc.

My mechanic is telling me that he may have to change the fuel filter (which is located in the gas tank) , my electrician is telling me it's possibly the battery (electrician saw no voltage fluctuation when i brought the car in) . This issue has been happening more than 5 months.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I have that exact same problem. I did change my battery an the problem still exists. I have an 07 mazda3 as well. Sometime my car cuts off when I lock the steering all the way

Same here and I have a local 2.0l, but not certain if that makes a difference.

[xNeXuSx]

All MZ3 models up to 2009 take 4.25 quarts guys.

I have a 2008 4 speed automatic Mazda3 bought it about 3 months now

Hey tuners I'm having a weird problem where when i start the car in the morning & drive the car the gears would change perfect until i start taking up speed the gears would jump from 4th the 2nd to 1st & then back up to 4th again randomly & the engine check light came on together with the AT Light on the dash
its confusing because it does this sometimes & at other times its perfect ..

Thank you very much bro but i decided to go buy a guy named dillon mechanical works in barataria today to do a rescan & get a second opinion on the problem & apparently its not my throttle position sensor it is simply the harness under the gas pedal leading to the throttle sensor in the engine it has a short in the harness so he told me to bring it on Wednesday & he will change the harness for $150 he says the sensor is fine .. so i'll give u all an update on Wednesday hoping for the best .

[konartis]

kool, always better to get a second opinion!
