How To/Advice I want to change my Steering wheel

Post image
1 Upvotes

I have a 2012 Mazda 2 and I want to change the steering wheel to something like a racing wheel (OMP, Sparco, Momo, etc.) and install a quick-release lever. As far as I know, I need an adapter to do this, but I can't find one specifically for this model. I found one on NRG that's for Mazda 2 models from 2016 to 2020, but I don't know if it will work (the image is from NRG's adapter model chart; it lists other compatibility information and adapter specifications), and it's the only option I've found.

Does anyone have more information on this or any recommendations?

CarPlay for Mazda 2 2007?

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hey everyone I’ve just bought my first car and I’m wanting to replace the old screen and radio with a CarPlay screen. All the ones I’ve seen for the 2007 don’t seem to fit, I think I have an earlier model, DY series? Would I have to buy a screen and have it above the centre console? Instead of replacing the old screen? The ac buttons and radio buttons are in the way. Sorry if this was poorly worded I don’t really know how to explain lol

Mazda 2 2008 Automatic Poor Mileage

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hello,

I have been driving the Mazda 2 for quite a while. I have noticed the mileage has been pretty low. The car has clocked 171,000 Kms.

For a DE Mazda 2, a full tank on the open road should easily yield 550–650 km (~6.5 to 7.5 L/100km). Instead, I was burning roughly 9.5 L/100km—which felt way off.

Also, the fuel gauge has 8 points in total so each point/bar shows 5.25 litres. Is my understanding right?

Kindly help me on this and open to suggestions.

Hi!

would any of you good souls help me identify this coolant hose I show in the video? Its the one I point to and already has a white patch and zipties on it to slow down the leak. I did some digging on catcar.info and can't seem to find this hose on any of the pictures. Its outer diameter is 13 mm. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi! The car was driving just fine yesterday and today I'm gonna go out for band rehearsal and this happened?

I'll take it to a mechanic but like so input what could it be? In my 4 years this never happened and the care has been well kept.

(Ignore the coolant, was spilled it by accident)

Vinyl Roof wrap on 2024 Mazda 2 G15 pure sp

2 Upvotes

Looking to buy a reliable small car and found a second hand Mazda 2 G15 Pure SP for a good price. I like the look of it but I am concerned about the black vinyl roof wrap. My experience owning cars under the Australian sun is that all car trim that is not automotive paint will eventually fade, crack or peel. Has anyone bought a Mazda with the vinyl roof. What care instructions are provided to ensure it lasts for the life of the car.

Immobilizer Hell

1 Upvotes

2014 Mazda 2, actual cut key (not push button). Owned 1 year, bought for $4300 all in, 127k mi.

First off, I'm a mom trying to fix my kids car. I'm decently handy with appliances... but I'm getting frustrated trying to learn this car.

Immobilizer light flashes. Car makes zero sound when turned. I have spent hours Googling and YouTubing and deep diving. I have checked ground wires. We've disconnected the battery, first for 15 min than for 24h. I've turned the key to ON and let it sit for 15 min. I've checked fuses. I've swapped the starter relay w the horn. We've replaced the fob battery. We've had a new key fob made and programmed.

I called the closest Mazda dealer an hour away and they had never heard of such a glitch. Sigh.

My local mechanic is also at a loss.

The only thing I haven't done is replace the ignition switch, which is another hunch, but probably the biggest 'commitment' without knowing if that's what is the cause. The car is dead at our house, so we'd have to tow it to wherever.

I'm really hoping this community can guide me! This car is solid and sweet and when it drives it's so much fun! I refuse to give up on it!!!!

Sudden loss of MPG

2 Upvotes

I have a 2019 Mazda 2, 37,000 miles. Ever since doing an oil change 2 weeks ago my mpg has gone way down like 50-80 miles to a tank. I used to play with the on board computer fighting for 51-53 mpg average now struggling with 47.

I used 0-20 oil. A Fram filter and air filter.

Any suggestions? Clues? I do about 85% motorway driving so pretty consistent. But its been like this instantly from the time of oil change.

I usually see 150 miles before the first tick off the fuel gauge. Now its 1/4 tank.

Before you say it's cheap oil the damn jug was £90. And i just rechecked today after a 40 mile drive im not over filled or under filled

Discussion 2011 Mazda 2 weird noise

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Been chasing a weird clunk from the front passenger side, mainly when turning right or hitting bumps. Turning left seems perfectly fine.

I’ve replaced the whole strut already. Noticed the spring is really close to the wheel well, but no visible rubbing marks. Can’t recreate the noise when it’s jacked up either.

Anyone have any ideas? I’m running out of things to check lol.

My Mazda 2 Brake service done!

I replaced the brake discs and pads at our Mazda 2 Homura (2022, 90 hp) yesterday. I also cleaned and painted the caliper carriers and the calipers themselves. The parts are from Bosch and were on sale—just under 100 Euros. I don’t think you could get it any cheaper, unless someone else pays for it! Who actually handles things like this themselves?

Hey everyone! What tire size are you running on your Mazda 2? I love my 2020 Mazda 2 sedan, but it scrapes on speed bumps way too often. Someone mentioned that switching to a taller tire might fix this—I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences with this. Thanks!"

In need of a car battery for Mazda 2 SKYACTIV-G 1.5 2016

Hi,

It's time to replace my car battery after 10 years as I had couldn't start my car yesterday morning when the ambient temperature was 7°C.

Looking though the handbook it says it need a Q-85 spec battery but when I use the online search by reg tools, the battery results don't mention Q-85 anywhere. So, I'm just rather confused.

Also, some sites say 'This battery may need to be registered with the on-board computer system upon replacement', is this applicable for the Mazda, I can't find any reference in the handbook or online.

Any help is appreciated.

How To/Advice Mazda 2 SKYACTIV-G 1.5 2016 - Issues with screenwash leaking.

2 Upvotes

Hi, recently I’ve noticed that I’ve been topping up the screenwash fluid every couple of weeks, but it’s now got to the point where the fluid runs out on the same day. I can’t see any leaks underneath the car, and I can also hear the pump running when I pull the screenwash lever. Could it be a faulty pump or a cracked reservoir? Is this something I could repair myself?

My Mazda 2 Speedometer accuracy

2 Upvotes

We've got a new to us Mazda 2 sport in the family and it seems like the Speedo shows us the exact speed of the car, not a little above like most cars.

I've checked using my phone and my fiancees phone and both show the same speed as the Speedo.

Is this a known thing? Or could it be an aftermarket mod someone's done? We know the car has been pimped before (there's wiring for a sub and amp in the boot and the screws that hold the Aircon in behind the radio were missing)
