I always change my oil just before a Smog test....mine is due in May....ugh....not looking forward to that as my milly is in need of some $$$$ and a tune-up.....I may even have a failed O2 censor but my CEL has been gone for months now.
My air filter is also 28k old. It may have an effect.
I passed btw. Results are not comfortable though..

Show me the restriction here:
-
If I have to make a guess, it would pull the torque to lower end and decrease the max power.
-
What? Bhr has and iphone and a mac?

Rear crank seal you have to take the tranny off as depicted in teh workshop manual. That's what the guy said, cam seals have to be done because its slinging oil. Im assming its from the crank seal which i will have replaced during the job. i refuse to replace the timing cover gaskets. The idiots from the other shop overtightened the cover and broke some tabs the last time, we'll see if they can even put it back on.
my SC is pushing oil and must be replaced.
and i keep searching for cam seals on mazda parts sites and cant find any.. grr
How much oil is it pushing? I am loosing oil from an unknown source and I had a white smoke at wot yesterday. I couldnt reproduce it yet, might be just water. Checked s/c in the weekend and it was a little dump, as it always was.
Is there a seal or a special bearing?
-
As I said before. The tensioner they mentioned is the tensioner pulley. There is a real tensioner that pushes the pulley. So you are still missing the tensioner. I have it and can take pic. if you want.
Its good to change the t-belt cover gaskets but they are priced as if they are made of gold. So I will not change them.
Cam seals have to be changed as well? Front crank seal is very easy during the job and it is cheap so change it. Rear crank seal is another job. Dont know how hard.
SC??
On plugs I was very lucky and found the correct ones for $30/6 on ebay.
-
I wonder if I can fly for a weekend.
What audi are you talking about? You dont buy a I4 turbo audi did you?
-
don't plan on keeping both, just trying to figure out if there's really any difference in flow. Right now I have the K&N off the car, I won't really have access to the other until mid-late march
I will find something else then..
-
I dunno, I really think there the same, generic is bigger, but k&n is a bit smaller so I figure air flow is exactly the same
Do you plan to keep both or sell one to me?
-
Well...considering chitown came out with the intake just after MWM08 which was august, then I drove the car only a few times more in 2008, 2009 I did around 680 miles, and have yet to drive it in 2010, AND for part of 2009 I didn't even have it on?
I'd say it has at most 500 miles on it, 500 miles of being in my millenia which means no bad weather, no dusty conditions, no dirt roads etc.
Brand new is what I'm getting at.
I'm not sure which filter I want to keep though, the smaller k&n or the slightly larger generic.
Which one are you keeping?
-
How much did you use it? Does it need cleaning/oiling?
-
MAF reads the air in the middle of the pipe. If the air flow is swirling the air flow in the middle and around the sides may be different. Then MAF will read wrong and either it will be so terrible that it wouldnt even idle properly or your fuel consumption will go high with unburned fuel which also damages the cats.
By angled I mean:
How much did you use it?
-
Part number didnt work. It is not angled right? A picture may help. I want the MAF to read properly, so the shape is pretty important..
-
If it is 6" long, Latino should have full details.
I said filter and short ram. You arent reading the full thread.
BHR if you find the filter part number should be on it.
-
3" inlet, maybe about 6-7" long and 4-4.5" wide
6-7'' long? Thats one of the long ones then. Anybody knows the size of MAF inlet? I was so lazy to measure today.
Can you find the filter and give me the part# ?
-
I can get it but I need to know the size. I am working on a short ram.
-
I remember you have it. Can you find the part number? Did you use it? How much?
-
Bhr or anyone, do you have a cone filter for sale?
-
Good that you found someone capable to work on the car. As for the problem I didnt expect it to be fixed, your car has very low miles for a bad tensioner.
If you know it is a misfire either you can try to find a way to read the codes (possible through mazda diagnostic port for sure) or try to unplug the coils and see which one doesnt make a difference. I think except 3 and 5 all are accessible. If you find a way to read from diagnostic port it will be helpful in the future as well. Did you try the LED thing?

UPDATE: timing belt kit installed today, spark plugs are going in. New water pump arrives tomorrow!
Mechanic diagnostic till now: everything was ok with timing belt, no noises, tensioner was still good.
Best bet: it´s a spark plug or a coil causing a misfire that could shakes the engine around the supercharger area. Tomorrow all sparks are gonna be changed and engine will be checked for the noise, if it keeps doing it, time to test all the coils. The fact is: misfire causes the noise...so far.
On a side note: mechanic said that that was no big deal changing timing belt...to my surprise he said the car had good access to the timing belt. Not like some old Fiat's that had to have the engine taken off the bay.
Im feeling a bit better...at last i found a guy that was not afraid to tackle the Xedos. He shouldn't , in fact, the guy prepares race cars.
No issue whatsoever with tranny... also, he said, engine block looks real nice. No oil...really clean engine..apart from dust!
cuto, if it misfires the best way (after CEL) to see is to listen the exhaust tip. You will see what I mean once you hear the misfire in the exhaust.
-
T-belt covers have gaskets as well. Even those gaskets are expensive.
You might have some codes stored but I dont know how to access them.
-
Interestingly this kit say it fits to 99-01 2.5 as well. Very interesting.
Lat tensioner consists of two parts: the expensive hydrolic adjuster and the pulley. Sometimes they meant the pulley by "the tensioner".
-
cuto I have the same set except I got Mazda water pump, hydrolic tensioner, and timing belt. I also got the front crank shaft seal. It is cheap and easy to change while in there.
BTW my car is at 130k miles and didnt have the problem you have. I think timing belt is original.

S Transmission
in Millenia / Eunos 800 / Xedos9
Posted
You darn trible poster!!
i dont think there is any surprise filter that we dont know. Steve just dismantle the whole S tranny and he didnt mention. There are photos in .org if you wanna look.
Why flush??? Just change the fluid with dexron6 and you are good to go. Do it yourself. At least you can pump it out from the filler tube.
