How do you replace a cam belt on a Mazda 323?
The normal method for manual cars is to remove the starter motor (which turns the engine over by contacting with the teeth on the flywheel) – you can then get access to the flywheel teeth. Alternatively you may well find that your car is equipped with a flywheel access hole underneath the engine/gearbox and you can use this to jam the teeth.
What are timing marks for Mazda 323 1.3 litre?
If anyone has any info on timing marks for the 1.3, 1.5 and 2 litre please use the contact link on this site to let me know so I can add it to this guide (it should be in the workshop manual).
What kind of car was the Mazda 323?
I used to own a Mazda 323F 1.8 BA shape (mid 1990’s) called ‘MOFF’ – you can see him in the picture opposite. Without a doubt the 323 F was one of the best cars I’ve ever owned (I’ve owned and restored quite a few cars) and even the wife liked him. So if you fancy some cheap thrills, go get one!
Where is the water pump in a Mazda?
The water pump inside the engine is located behind the timing chain cover and allegedly hidden from the view of mechanics servicing the vehicles. The plaintiffs say even though people may not be able to see it, coolant can leak from the water pump into the oil pan and other engine components and mix with engine oil.
What kind of water pump does Mazda CX-9 have?
The Mazda CX-9 and Mazda6 vehicles are equipped with MZI Cyclone engines introduced by Mazda in 2007. According to the lawsuit, the Cyclone engine has an internal chain-driven water pump which means the timing chain is connected to the water pump and provides the power the water pump needs to circulate coolant through the engine.
Why is there a water pump lawsuit against Mazda?
The Mazda water pump lawsuit also alleges the automaker worked with Ford concerning the design, engineering and testing of the Cyclone engines which are known as Duratec engines installed in millions of Ford vehicles. The plaintiffs claim Mazda must have known about the water pump problems Ford customers experienced in their vehicles.
