If you buy this car,

1. Go to workshop ask them to clean your intake valves.
They will remove intake manifold, depending if they not using walnut then use chemicals to soak the valves, slowly dilute the carbon build up, then scrape away.

2. Replace fuel filter (will get clogged if never change before)
3. Do engine flush
4. Pour in Gumout so that it can clean the injectors.

if you want to have new car feeling


1. my engine is direct injection, NA
i seen other ppl same car as mine open up at 30,000km already caked up with carbon at intake valves.
If you have turbo or frequently pedal hard your carbon build up will be more as gas escape through PCV.

Suggest to add oil catch can after you do chemical/walnut blast.
to maintain it just spray throttle body cleaner everytime service at 10,000km.

- mine do the same as above, but i spray at smaller interval (5,000km), just small amount because just want to maintain good throttle response. now i use threebond foam
maybe sensors got dirty, at 5,000km engine will only pull if i step hard.


2. fuel filter better every 100,000km replace it.

3. no matter synthetics or not will build sludge, just takes how long only.
maybe once a year flush will do.

4. once a year will do, if added oil catch can and got spray little throttle body cleaning foam

owner tak service ker ??

super steep, should be in 45k range.
68k can get mazda6 2014 model d

cari tempat screw. saiz macam tin air minuman je. tak lah besar sangat

I think better get the bad condition one then refurbish it.
Rewrap leather seats, change bumper, rewrap dashboard.

Since it's 12 year old car those things are soon to be on its way to fail as well
