  What I'm about to say may hurt your feelings, but it needs to be said. If you have any fear of this procedure you should not attempt it. You clearly do not have the adventurous spirit that working on your own car requires. Removing a 10mm bolt and pulling a plastic stick from a hole and replacing it in the reverse order is neither rocket science nor nuclear engineering. I have zero problem with you calling it quits and leaving your car to the four winds. In fact it is probably better off that way. But if you read the comments, you will find that others have benefited from this video because what people are looking for most of all is the courage to do what they are already prepared to do. Find the courage and stop complaining. Good luck.

• 
  @RichardTait19774 ай бұрын

  You haven't said where you are from, but this matters, since the North American and World cars are vastly different. Since I am more familiar with the North American cars, I will speak to them. For the 2009 model year, the Mazda6 did not use an SD card for the navigation system. It used a map disc that was inserted into the CD player. Try removing the disc, cleaning it, and reinserting it. If that fails, perhaps the lens of the player needs cleaning. If all of that fails, then perhaps you need a new disc. Frankly, I wouldn't even waste my time. Google Maps is far better than anything any manufacturer puts in a car, updates are frequent, and are free.

If you are saying that when you press the button in to close the mirrors and it doesn't stay in, then it sounds like you have a problem with the mechanical action of the switch itself. It might be something as simple as dissembling the switch and cleaning and greasing the internals. Switches inherently burn a bit every time they are used and after a while things get messy inside. Alternatively, you could see if you could find a replacement (used, new OEM, or new aftermarket).

  Hi Richard, is the variable length intake and tumbler the same system? Are there 2 set of flaps in the intaje manifold? I noticed there are 2 vacuum runner solenoid valves and was wondering why. I recently stumbled upon this "flap of death" video where it said on some Ford with the 2L engine the flaps and metal rods that connects the flap would break and destroy the engine. And after searching a number of Ford owners would "delete the flap" to prevent this. Is this less of an issue on Mazda? I have a Ford 2L now I am really worried.

• 
  @RichardTait19775 ай бұрын

  Lots of questions. Let me see if I can answer them. 1. The variable intake length system is called Variable Induction System (VIS) by Mazda. The tumble system uses Tumble Swirl Control Valves (TSCV). These systems are different and actuated by different solenoids. Basically, VIS changes the length of the intake manifold, whereas TSCV controls the speed of the air going through the intake manifold. 2. The "flap of death" issue is less common in Mazdas. In fact, I have never heard of any such problem occurring with the 2.5L L5. However, from what I gather, the problem was sorted by Ford early in the production run and the affected cars have a yellow flap assemblies. Additionally, those assemblies would make noise before they gave way, giving you enough time to be able to make the relatively easy repairs. This is something that can be done by any DIYer and is not complicated at all. Don't worry. Just know that if you start to get a ticking sound from the intake, then it is time to act.
