How do you release the a/c in your car. I have a 2000 Mazda 626. My pressure is way to high and I need to drain it out.|||on any newer car with air conditioning there are 2 pressure release valves, a high pressure one, and a low pressure one that is used to add more a/c coolant to the system when needed. If the pressure is to high the high pressure valve should automatically release some so i wouldnt worry about it.

What is a good extended warranty to buy for a 2005 Mazda Rx8?

I am going to buy a 2005 Mazda RX8 with 46k miles on it. I want to get a warranty that covers a lot of what people say seem to break down so much on them. Any suggestions of where and what kind to get. I know that Mazda extended the Engine warranty, but that is a very basic warranty. I looking for a good warranty for price and results.





Thanks,


James|||pretty much the only extended warranty places have been sued by attorney generals in many states, because they are all greedy cheating companies, the only warranty that is worth anything is a factory warranty, everything else that breaks on a car is normal wear and tear items. you want to keep your car new, dont drive it, thats the only way. There is no company that pays off unless your car is new.|||I've never heard of any extended warranty that was worth the $$$$.|||A warranty is a form of insurance. Insurance companies have to produce a profit. In order to do that they have to collect enough to invest so that any claims presented do not deplete the cash reserves. The way they used to cover the costs was by investing in the stock market. Well the market keeps going down. So right now the way they cover the loss is by fishing in new customers (similar to a Panza scheme), and those buy the insurance are paying for the break downs of the customers already in the system.


The last time some one wanted to sell be an extended warranty, the price was 2000 dollars. Now if I had taken 2000 dollars and put it in the bank, it would have covered the cost for repairs. Money would have been left over for repairs outside of the time mileage coverage of the policy. This is true in most cases. More so for drivers who take car of their cars both with scheduled maintenance and by following the directions in the owners manual.


So if you want cheap coverage, put money in the bank to cover repairs, read the owners manual and then follow the manufactures recommendation with the exception of finding a good rotary mechanic who has his own garage.

How much does it cost to repair a smashed headlight on a mazda 3?

So I just rear-ended someone and his car did not have not even one tiny scratch while my mazda 3 is all messed up :( The passengers side headlight is all smashed and the hood got bended a little. Should I call my insurance? will my insurance go up? how much will it cost?|||if he,s letting it go then you let it go too. it would be your fault for hitting him and your insurance will go up so if he,s willing to forget it then you do the same. it won,t cost that much if you get what you need from the junk yard.|||You didn't mention what year your car is which makes a difference in the cost of parts. If the only damage is your headlight and hood you are looking at about $300 for parts. You will then spend another $200 or so to get the hood painted.





If your deductible is $500 or so you might want to consider to have everything repaired yourself so your rates don't go up.|||headlights are ridiculously expensive for what is ultimately a piece of plastic, if you have insurance it would be wise to use it, otherwise (depending who you use) the repair costs would be in the vicinity of $600-$1200 , maybe even higher if structual damage has occured.|||if you buy online maybe it is around $200-$500 maximum. Shipping of the item included. But if you buy in a store it is around $80-150. But if you want a much cheaper you can buy 2nd hand or in surplus.

Has all the details on what that would include. If you want to save money and dont care about the warranty then just do an aftermarket turbo, air filter, intake and exhaust, flywheel, and depending on how serious you are nitrous, lightweight rims, a body kit, or convert body to carbon fiber (hood, trunk, fenders, doors, body kit) that would drop your weight dramatically.

How does the performance compare between an 05 Suzuki SV650s and a Mazda RX8?

I know that the Mazda has a higher top speed, the question relates to the overall performance. Which accelerates faster? How does the handling compare?|||The bike will have better acceleration in a straight line, but the car can corner quicker and brake far harder due to having a lot more rubber on the road, so on a race track there probably wouldn't be that much in it.|||One is a motorbike, and one is a car, you can't really compare! There are VERY few cars which will beat the 0-60 time of a motorbike, and the SV650 is no exception. With a 0-60 of around 3.5 seconds, it will leave an RX8 (along with most Ferrari's, Lambourghini's, etc....) far behind, and with a competent rider and good tyres, it will easily out-handle all but the very best super-cars too. Cars have a higher top speed, because bikers want something that will accelerate quickly, not have an extra 50mph of performance that they will never be able to use.|||The SV runs bottom 12s, the RX8 mid 14s, if its a manual. So in other words, its not even close in acceleration. The RX8 does have a higher topspeed, but it would require over two miles to catch the Suzuki in a striaght line from a standstill. The RX8 does have more rubber, but also alot more weight. It would be easier to drive the RX8 to its limits, but all in all the cornering and handling would be evenish. Of course the RX8 has a much better heater, can hold twice as many people and is easier to get road head in. But it cost 5 times as much.|||there are a number of motoring shows on TV %26amp; DVD that have compared Bikes with cars on the track...





%26amp; a very fast car will still be beaten by a fast bike...





in the real world where speed limits %26amp; obsticals on the road,, limit how fast you can go..





low speed acceleration makes all the difference.. which is great until you get to the next traffic light.. then the car catches up again... light goes green.. bike takes of %26amp; is in front.. next light.. car catches up again... this can go on all day...the bottom line is..





if you travel 15 miles to work/school in the morning.. at 45 MPH it takes 20 mins (if its a straight through run)... i8f you do it at 60 MPH..it takes 15 mins... you save a whole 5 MINS..

Should I call my insurance? will my insurance go up? how much will it cost?|||Dont call your insurance because it will go up on you, you can probably find yourself a cheap headlight at http://www.mazda3club.com/ or even http://www.mazda3forums.com/ just ask around the forums and someone will probably sell you one for cheap or even try on ebay. And your hood you can probably have an autobody shop do it for cheap.|||If you can afford it do it yourself. check this site out www.car-parts.com you can find cheap parts there. Don't go to the dealer. They will rip you. I say a headlamp can be about 300-400 new. even more. You can call the insurance but how much is your deductible?

ebay also has decent prices but that's aftermarket parts. Shouldn't noticed a difference thou. As for the hood, if it's not a big dent it can be repair.

How much will it cost me to rebuild the engine in my mazda millinia?

I have a 98 mazda millinia with 2.5 L v6 and it has a blown engine and i would like to do a complete rebuild, new crankshaft, valves pistons, connecting rods, all seals and gaskets, new cams, my question as assumed is how much will this cost me ?|||it really depends on how accurate the over haul will be. you can replace bearings only for a few hundred dollars, have a head rebuilt for about the same. However there are a lot of things that could be over looked depending on the mechanic. just changing a few parts does not constitute an overhaul . If there is a problem that is over looked then you'll be right back soon with no recourse, start over.


So, please make educated choices. do a little research . Im sure it could cost you thousands ( 2 to 3 thousand ) depending on the parts required, and the current labor rates.


You could possibly find a used engine with low miles from a salvage yard cheaper and have it installed .|||It would really depend on your mechanic. How much for parts (and parts mark up) and labour. I had a complete engine rebuild a couple years back for about 2 grand.|||avg rule of thumb for an engine rebuild is around a couple grand. It all really depends on what has to be done, cracked block? thrown rod? etc...
