If you are about to buy a car
mazda car can serv u well than collola becuz mazda parts is so cheap
premacy is one of the strong car mazda has but it now depend about the nature of the one u wanted to buy now







Please can u tell me the varieties of The Mazda Premacy there are so i could be better informed. Thank u!

honmusa:
All other things being equal I will prefer you choose the corolla but both of them are Nigeria used so u will advice you shine your eyes well ,take along a professional to perform thorough inspection before you hand over your hard earned money so that you don't inherit another person wahala .

0rex:
I just hope it doesn't have overheating issues like the MPV.

Observe the car well. Any signs of tampering on electrical or mechanical systems, you better fly away. Infact, it's better you engage a Mazda expert.

MPVGoddess:


MPV does not have overheating issues. bad mechanic or negligence or a lack of understanding of how the cooling system...

godwinasky:
Actually, mechanics deliberately do things to keep ppl coming back to them, and worse still, dey r not even sincere enough to admit their limitations.

0rex:

You are on point. I have observed that our mechanics are the cause of majority of car problems we have by bypassing or removing stuffs they don't know anything about.
The ultimate test of a good car therefore is being able to withstand these abuses & still function relatively fine.

MPVGoddess:


Corrected !


Some others also help you sort out issues before they become crises, or warn you to act on perceived issues before they escalate!!

But you cannot tell without having interacted with them for a while who is who.

The best way to test the workings of a pre-owned vehicle (if you don't have the technical knowledge), is simply to pay for a pre inspection report. This service is offered by GAZZUZZ.
Every vehicle would have issues, if the previous owner(s) does not pay attention to the service maintenance schedule, use recommended fluids or change parts with OEM's when the need arises.
NB: Look after your vehicle and it would look after you in return!!!!!

MPVGoddess:


There is a limit to how much any car Mazda or non-Mazda can withstand abuse, as the guy with the light green Toyota Camry that had his head gasket destroyed and subsequently changed his engine and the color of his ride to black found out.

Especially when the engine is built from aluminum and not cast -iron, overheating will certainly destroy the engine irrespective of manufacturer!

godwinasky:



Thankx bro, but please who is GAZZUZZ, and where is he located? i find it intriguing obtaining a pre-inspection report here in naija. I mean Mechos aren't that inclined, as i think they d only say things as far as they can see.could u explain better please!

godwinasky:



Thanks, please what could be the common causes of over heating in Toyota and Mazda cars , and how could they be prevented and allayed when they happen?

MPVGoddess:


Due diligence

Care and concern

- Check coolant levels daily
-Observe temperature gauge from time to time while driving
-If it shoots up, stop the car immediately and find out why
-Do not manage a leaking radiator or water pump or leaking coolant hoses
-use coolant not water
-do cooling fans work as designed from the factory
- is the thermostat in order

Those are what come to mind right now

If you do not care, you will do the reverse and will sufer a bout of overheating

Lexusgs430:


Check coolant levels daily? If your cooling system is working correctly, checking the coolant levels daily is not required.

MPVGoddess:


Some don't, I just cannot help but check daily personally.

Some check once a week (ideal) or two weeks or once a month.

But i trained myself to check daily(paranoid/anal retentive).

The idea is to do it regularly on a schedule that suites you!

And i recall one more reason, not tightening the radiator cap or even putting it back has caused many a bad case of overheating and head gasket change

Lexusgs430:


My coolant level gets checked probably every 6 months and it never requires topping up.

godwinasky:
Thanks guys, what could be probable reason for the car ac blowinguch heat as against the expected chill, even in a cool weather!
