    Also, nothing with a rotary engine.

    None of them around now the co2 tax system killed them stone dead, they were ever only a niche type of car here. They've a great following in the UK. Irish roads/distances never suited a rotary engine they're better suited for long haul driving by someone with plenty of petrol money.

    The 2.2 diesel engine in the mazda 6, would this be same 2.2 that would be in 131 reg mazda 3.? Curious as mate has one and just wondering is he going to have these problems.

    Their 1.5 diesel is actually grand. and it’s their own. Not bought in from PSA or Ford AFAIK

    Obviously the 2.2 things have changed with the 1.5

    That's correct, it is Mazda in-house development.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,519 ✭✭✭✭punisher5112


    I still wouldn't have faith in them though when you hear all the horror stories much like the insignias.... I wouldn't buy.

    I thought the 2.2 was their own as well.

    The insignia isn't as bad, get the pick-up pipe seal done as soon as you get it and you're sorted. Change the gearbox oil every 3rd service and you've a good chance of it lasting.

    I was thinking that, the post referring to ford PSA etc had me confused.

    Before our wrecked Mazda we had a company car insignia. Employer gave them all back to leaseplan and changed. Typical enough we get wrecked again.

    Weve a 4.5k scrap offer on the Mazda and will likely take it. Certainly will go out of my way to ensure no one I know buys a Mazda again. Don't really care if its only a diesel problem.

    I would jump at this If I were you. I also have vowed to do the same for Mazda, considering how they treated me, a customer with a full mazda service history with the last service done 6 days before the engine died on the M7. I was very lucky not to have been rear-ended that day.

    Is it 4.5K in actual money to what you want with or is it being knocked off a car on the forecourt? If it's real money I'd take the hand and all:pac:

    Away with your IMS - thats for amateurs.

    Go dropped valve seat, then call me. DAMHIK. 5-figure bill.

    And yet...... still cheaper than a Mazda 6 to own....

    Word is that the Mazda6 will be discontinued from next year and won't be replaced. They have already announced it in the US recently so I'd say the same will follow in Europe. They have already dropped the diesel version over here now.

    Mazda mx6 is my favourite mazda

    I had a 2011 Diesel 6 and never had troubles with the engine.

    And I've swapped 4 of them out in different customers cars within the space of a year. All with the same issues. Big end bearings destroyed and bent conrods, in one case the crankshaft was even damaged beyond repair. Also evidence of timing chain stretched. The earlier 2.2d is dirt as well, if you didn't have trouble you got lucky or got rid of it early enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,034 ✭✭✭whizbang


    My Mazda 6's :
    2013 2.2D threw out Oil pump shaft at 240k on the M7. The one day i forgot my phone!
    2017 got to 200k before it went back.

    Loved the car and drove the crap out of them. Other than the engine, it was the most reliable thing, on par with my 2005 D4D Avensis.
    But the support in general was appalling. wouldn't go back just for the support alone.

    But a petrol, don't buy a diesel


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,034 ✭✭✭whizbang


    Yes, but even worse.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 982 ✭✭✭Rrrrrr2


    I had a Mazda 6 diesel as a company car too (Leaseplan warned me off it in fact!). Really liked the car. But like everyone else it was starting to give trouble (EGR light on) after near the end- I was moving jobs by then so that was that. It’s such a shame as with a good engine this car would have been a world beater. Incredible that the Japanese with all their engineering know how could not get it right

    It's all the sh1te they have forced to be added to diesel engines, egr valve, particle filter etc to pretend they're green. Ordinary households should not be using diesel unless they're doing big milage. It was a huge mistake to promote diesel as being cleaner than petrol. Mazda are not alone with having issues, plenty of other brands have their own issues
