hi, am wanting to buy a 323f V6 2.0, but some people reckon the mazda V6 engines are prone to problems, but i really want the 323f. I just want to know what people have to say about the V6's. Thanks |

2 YEARS ownership. On 111000 miles now and no problems (just seems to idle loudly at the moment but I should be seeing to that soon!) |

I've got a '94 V6 Type-X (Japanese Import), had it for about 6 months now, it's just ticked over 110,000K and runs sweet as despite the amount of thrashing it gets. I've been warned by a couple of friends who are mechanics (and who've worked for Mazda) to avoid the auto tranny & to watch out for the injectors on the V6 which supposedly have a habit of dying quite often. Hence why I got a manual, and the dealer to install new injectors & a powerboost valve (which came with an upgraded fuel rail, so not replacing the injectors seemed a little silly). Otherwise they recommended the V6 over the 4-cyl for reliability & robustness, and power-wise, there's no competition. Plus a six sounds so much sweeter... |

[quote]plus they go much better than the 1.8 [/quote] So Dan, who still had their car on the road after Japfest and still had it on the road for JAE \:D/ Sorry Darren - just had to be said
Seriously though Adrian, we hear of very few issues with these engines in this club - I've been a member for just over 3 years now. [b]Mark[/b] |
