2006 Mazda 6 Service and Repair Manual
Regular price
$29.99 USD
Unit price
Mazda published a distinct set of numbers for the 2006 6, and this factory service and repair manual stays with them. It is matched to this model year and to the engine and trim actually in the car, whether that is the 2.3L four, the turbocharged 2.3L (MZR) or the 3.0L V6 (VIN D, AJ), so the clearances, torque sequences and service values you work to are the ones written for this vehicle and not numbers borrowed from an adjacent year or a different powertrain.
Engines covered
- 2.3L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 3.0L V6 (181 cu in) — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline
- 2.3L inline-four — DOHC, turbocharged, gasoline
Body styles covered

Known issues on the 2006 Mazda 6. No recalls are on federal record for the 2006 Mazda 6, and no owner complaints are logged against the year, so there is no pattern of reported failures to work from here. Diagnosis on this car comes down to following Mazda’s own procedure and measuring against the published specification rather than working back from a known failure.
Whether the job is on the naturally aspirated 2.3L, the turbocharged MZR or the 3.0L V6, in a sedan, hatchback or wagon, it keeps you on Mazda’s procedure and the specification published for your 2006 6.
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.

OUR 2006 MAZDA 6 GT WAS TOTALED IN A WRECK IN WHICH IT FLIPPED 4 OR MORE TIMES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THEN INTO THE MEDIAN. THE SPEED AT THE TIME ACCIDENT OCCURRED WAS 70 MPH. NOT ONE OF THE 6 EQUIPPED AIR BAGS WAS DEPLOYED. I CONTACTED MAZDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT APPARENTLY NONE OF THE SENSORS WERE TRIPPED AND THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THAT NOT ONE OF 6 WOULD TRIP IN AN ACCIDENT THAT VIOLENT. MY INSURANCE ALSO DIDN'T SEEM TO THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE. THIS IS PROBLEM BECAUSE MOST OF US BELIEVE THAT OUR AIR BAGS WILL PROTECT US IN MOST ANY WRECK, ESPECIALLY ONE IN WH
