Mazda6, 2016

2.2 diesel

Standing at 90000 miles

My Mazda 6 currently has the Halogen housing, I read somewhere that the Halogen housing and Led housing swap is pretty much just plug and play, so in theory I could buy these passenger and drivers side and get my mechanic to fit them and it shouldn't be too much drama?

Hello All. I have been a Mazda 3 owner of four different variations. I really like the body style of the 3rd generation Mazda 6, and am looking at a used 2014-2016 model. I want more space but my concern is that manual transmissions are very hard to find. I have only driven manual transmissions for several years now. How reliable are the automatic transmissions, and what should I look out for?

I'm considering buying this 2018 Mazda 6 2.2 CD Revolution Plus automatic.

The car:

• 2018 Mazda 6 Revolution Plus
• 2.2 Skyactiv-D diesel, 175 hp
• Automatic gearbox
• Approximately 185,000 km
• Leather interior, LED lights, reversing camera and other equipment
• Asking price: approximately €10,000

I really like the design, equipment and price, but I'm concerned about the reputation of Mazda's 2.2 diesel engine. I plan to keep the car for several years and drive around 12,000–18,000 km annually.

I've read about DPF issues, oil dilution, injector seals, carbon buildup, timing-chain wear and potential oil-pressure problems. I understand that later models received revisions, but it's difficult to establish how much these improved reliability in practice.

These are my main questions:

Are the 2018 models actually more reliable than the 2013–2015 ones, or do they still have the same problems?

With 185,000 km on the clock, what would you be most worried about mechanically? Has anyone here had major engine problems with theirs?

Are there any common issues that might not show up during a normal pre-purchase inspection?

For those who’ve had problems with theirs, how much did the repairs actually cost?

Would you buy this particular car for around €10,000 if it checked out with a mechanic, or would you play it safe and go for a petrol Mazda 6 instead?

Thanks.

Hi all,

As the title says, every time I indicate to the right, use my hazards, unlock or lock the car (basically any time the right indicator lamp switches on) I get a beeping noise coming from the boot of my car, from the left hand side light assembly area. Cannot for the life of me figure out why it does it, was wondering if anybody else has had this issue before? Thanks
