      Bank Street Mazda had the cheaper price on fluids. Its not the first time that I have noticed that they are less expensive. I'm closer to the one in Orleans so I'd rather go there.

    If I don't get it fixed. Will it have any effect on the car's headlights ? or anything else ? I called dealership and they said $170+Gst for this. I am student and we know students are usually broke !! lol

    Sir I would actually ADVISE you AGAINST spraying the door lock actuator (2:15) because I did that to both front doors and ended up having to replace them shortly after. This resulted in a door is open warning that would flicker about 50 times while driving.

      Interesting. I've had no issues with it. But thanks for the information.

    Hi, I also live in canada nad have 2012 mazda 3. GT. Do you think it's worthy to own an extended warranty. I can do some light maintenance, but not as good as you mate.

    • @DIYNorth
      @DIYNorth Před 24 dny

      I've only had an extended warranty once and I never used it for anything. I'd only get one if it was a pretty good deal. The insurance company makes money off the product so they have to charge above what they pay out. If the car is known to be very reliable I wouldnt get the extended warranty, but if it's a less reliable car then I'd consider it a bit more.

    You’re right, the middle one on the passenger was a bear. The electrical connector on the coil killed my fingers.

      I honestly have no idea. Maybe at mazda. What I would do is go to a local pick and pull scrap yard and just pull one out of a mazda there. It's honestly the cheapest and easiest way to get electrical connectors
