2005 Mazda 6 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
Fitment on this one is exact: the 2005 Mazda 6 factory service and repair manual is tied to this model year and to the engine and trim actually sitting in front of you, the 2.3L L4 or the 3.0L V6 (VIN D, AJ), so every specification and tightening sequence it gives is the figure Mazda published for this car rather than one carried over from an adjacent year.
Engines covered
- 2.3L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 3.0L V6 (181 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
Body styles covered
- 4-door hatchback
- 4-door sedan
- 5-door wagon
Trims covered
- i
- S
Known issues on the 2005 Mazda 6. No recalls are on federal record for the 2005 Mazda 6, and no owner complaints are logged against the year either, so there is no safety campaign or documented pattern failure hanging over this model year to work around. On a clean-record year like this one the diagnosis comes down to the car in front of you rather than a known-fault list, which is where the year-specific figures earn their keep.
Whether the job is a scheduled service or a fault you are chasing, every step and figure is the one Mazda specified for your 6, in the 2.3L or 3.0L, sedan, hatchback or wagon.
Mazda North America Operations (Mazda) is recalling certain 2003-2008 Mazda6, 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6 and 2004 MPV vehicles nationwide. Mazda is also recalling 2005-2006 MPV vehicles in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands (Saipan), and the U.S. Virgin Islands. On July 9, 2019 this recall was expanded to include certain 2004-2011 RX-8 vehicles that were previously recalled under 16V-354 but have not yet been repaired. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these passenger air bag inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
Consequence
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Remedy
Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the remedy is performed. Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began July 6, 2018. Mailing to the affected RX-8 owners began July 6, 2019. Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500, option 4. Mazda's number for this recall is 2618F. Note: With the addition of the RX-8 vehicles, this recall fully supersedes recall 16V354.
