Thanks a million for loading this video, I'm almost certain the people who designed this vehicle are sadists. What time scale are we talking about in removing everything. All the Best from Glasgow
JC316 - Thanks so much for taking the time to record this video and explain everything step by step in such good detail. This video gave me the confidence I needed to tackle my own Mazda 6, and I successfully replaced the radiator, radiator fans, three coolant hoses, water pump, belt and belt tensioner earlier this week. Keep up the great work!
Lol bro I need to fix my friends radiator from a Mazda 6 2008 oh my God I saw this video I was laughing so hard when you said that whoever designed the car was going to hell
Thanks for the video. I just did it to my girlfriends 2006 4cyl in the 90 degrees New Orleans heat. So far I don't think anything is leaking and only a couple extra parts left over. Shhh, don't tell her. When I went to test drive it I needed to move my car out the driveway and I found my battery to be dead. I have a 2005 Corolla and EVERYTHING seems to be easier on it. I did the fans a couple of years ago and it took no time. In fact, a few weeks later I had to change the starter so I removed the fans to make room. Unfortunately, I nicked the radiator with the starter and it leaked. Oh well, in one month I changed a fan, radiator, and starter. If it were her Mazda I'd tell her to buy another car. Now it's time to pass out.
Great video. Loved the commentary. Wish we could have seen the actual work. You do a great job though. I forgot all the connectors and where they plug in and this video helped. You are awesome keep up the good work. I like the observation of how much access you get when the radiator and fans off. It definitely would be a good time to do any major things that are up for maintenance.
My 1st thoughts: SHIT! Dude, mechanic ain't answering my calls. Seriously I'm screwed 😭😭😭😭😭 With this video I had NO PROBLEM getting bumper off, headlights out, loosened what I could & those damn 13mm 🙄 kicked my ass. I don't have strength to bust em loose 😒. So HAD to wait til friend came over, saw what my car looked like & decided he's gonna help me finish today. Thanks again so much!
Man I started working as a mechanic about 2 years ago. long story short My gf radiator stated to leak. one thing i noticed was that you took all the hoses off towards the end. let me tell you wish I would have done that. Man trying to get all those lower hose was a pain! would have been way easier towards the end.Nice vid!!!
Great vid. I agree with you! This has got to be the stupidest piece of engineering ! Just did the radiator on my Lexus. Lot easier. Thanks for all the details you show. This convinced me of one thing. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER MAZDA! Thanks again for this video.
The radiator is mounted that way for ease of manufacturing in the factory as the radiator is mounted to the engine cradle and everything is hooked up together to save time
Thanks for the video , it was helpful. The only thing I could pass on is you don't have to remove the fans. Take out the top two bolts for the fans and the radiator drops right out from the fans.
You prolly dont give a damn but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Raiden Jason I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Ya, i was surprised how involed this radiator swap is! I thought it would be like my 94 jeep...easy. Hey, the thermostate would be a good thing to replace once all this is off. Thanks for posting this!
Hi Jc, I'm sorry you went through all this trouble man. but you didn't have too. I have a 2006 mazda 6 and I had to replace mine. People think you have to take the whole front off to get to the radiator. And many mechanics say "you do" so that they charge you with more labor. I have 2 uncles who work for mazda man. And you can just take off a couple bolts and plugs and slide it out without taking any of the front bumper out. Check out the forums :).
+Anthony Awada I hate to say that you can't, because I have never done it on an 06 or on a 4 cylinder, but I know on the 03 with a 6 cylinder it can't be done.. Bottom line, even if you could get it disconnected from the condenser, which you can't, you still wouldn't have enough room to get it past the valve covers. On top of that, why would you want to? It's not hard to get the clip off.
+JC316 yes it could be different man. This is advice I always tell people who are buying cars. (mazda or not a mazda) Never buy the first year they roll out with the car. mazda 6 were the sucessors of the protege. And the first year they came out with them is 2003. Mazda sure must have made some improvements ever since. which is signs of a good company.
+Anthony Awada Do you have a video on how to do it ? I have a mazada 6 06 that needs the radiator to be replaced , im trying to do it my self and save me a few bucks
I will never get a Mazda. A/C needs disconnecting and full vacuum pull down and recharge. Wow . Some guy tried to get me to do the job for $100. I watched your video and said hell no. Good Luck.
I was LMAO when you said "Whoever designed this car deserves a special place in hell!"! Instantly told me that this is your first time working on this car. I agree 100%, whoever designed this car is an evil, sadistic a$$hole!! Thanks for the video tho, helped a lot!
Hey there I sure had my time with one of these cars today n yes I totally agree stupid design just to change a radiator but is what it is ...end of the day we still got it 👍
it seems Mazda designs these cars to make you want to take to dealership even something as simple as a thermostat is more to do than anything I've ever worked on
just replace the water pump for the heck of it man. lol this video made it sooo much easier. I started to work on it and 1 minute into it... i was like what the hell is this!!!? do I also have to take down the damn engine to access the radiator?... well you get the point. thanks man.
I have to say that's the dumbest design they did on the Mazda 6. Just as bad as the late '90's Ford Taurus. I'm doing one of these for a friend of mine and your video was helpful, thanks! His upper tank had a 2" crack on the top and was the original. I'll be replacing that 3 way cooling connector that's commonly known as failure prone too with a Dorman part.
I have a diesel which I will be taking at closer look at tonight , radiator is fine but need to get alternator out . Hope I don't have to do all this just to replace alternator
Not sure. The American market never got a diesel, so I've never even seen the engine bay on one. I've had people tell me the 2.3L didn't need the front clip removed for the radiator, so the diesel might be the same.
I don't know what these manufacturers are thinking. Volvo is the same way but not even quite as bad. Like it or not, your radiator is not invincible. They have a lifespan and will eventually need changed unless you smash your car to bits before its life is over. I want to get that engineer and shove his head down behind that bumper and maybe show him how easy a radiator can and should be. How ridiculous.
Thanks for sharing bro, this really help me out fixing my 2002 Mazda atenza, it’s sounds hard but when you do it, wasn’t that bad compare what gonna cost you at the machanic shop
I'm over here fuming mad! Seeing comments talk about 2.5 hours to finish. I'm currently paying off a $900 bill, including 6 hours of labor charges! 🤬 I'm betting this mechanic didn't look up how to fix my Mazda.
@@NativeVirgo so a little insight, when you work at a shop , at least one like i have , we go off what our data on the computer gives us if it calls for 6 hrs of labor then thats what we go off , if we get done in 2.5 hrs that 6 hrs still has to be accounted for one of the reasons u don't take it to a shop i guess , i work as a mobile mechanic now but i would still charge a decent amount for this job , around $750 with parts included, its still a inconvenience to have to take apart the bumper and all that to get to the radiator as opposed to a simple radiator removal, also stuff that factors into the price is tools , experience, going mobile, getting rid of the coolant etc ..
Dude, you rock! I'm going to attack this job this weekend so I can get at my timing chain cover oil leak. I thought I was going to have to come at it from underneath by dropping the sub frame and exhaust, but this is going to make it a lot less back-breaking. Thank you so much for the walk through! Wish me luck. BTW, was that an oil leak up by the valve cover you showed us at the end? If so, did you fix it? and how?
Glad I could help. I never messed with the oil leak, I think someone fixed it before me and just didn't get the excess off. Good luck with the job, shouldn't be that difficult.
Im late, but the box at around time index 11:23, is the radiator fan control module. The one on my wifes 2006 Mazda6 went bad and caused the fan to stay on long after the car was turned off.
ok related to the radiator...is the cooling fan removed the same way? my boss tells me you dont have to remove anything more than whats holding the fan to the radiator....but thats some serious bs imo
hi jc316 good job. well I hope you can give me a advice. I changed the radiator and now I can't the cooling system heater work good. how do you did it? thanks.
+Gustavo Melendez Best guess is that the radiator was clogged up and some of that got into the heater core. Another place to look would be the blend door.
Hahaha my gf sold her Mazda 6 to her daughter. I begged her not to cause I knew I’d be working on it till the day I die. I made my gf get rid of it after I found out how hard the alternator was to replace. Well... low and behold, now it’s radiator time. 🤣 Lol these cars are a joke.
Yep, them and the focus both suck for alternators. I remember having to disconnect the motor mounts and slide the entire engine forward, in the parking lot of an autozone, to get the alternator out of an 03 Focus wagon
I've heard that you can remove the radiator in the normal way on the 4cyl models, but I've never done it, so I would check to see if you have access from the engine bay.
How much coolant did you have to put back in the car? I drained as much coolant as I could because I needed to do a flush anyway and I've put in almost 2 gallons and I'm still burping the car. I don't see a leak and 2 gallons seems like a bit much.
JC316 Thanks for showing how to remove the radiator . I have a 2005 and have to do it. Couple of questions,,, On the top of the support there are 2 phillips screws that hold the piece that has the Mazda symbol . Mine tunes a little and then stops cant seem to get them loose and 2 the transmission lines does all the fluid come out ? Hope I am not biting off more then I can chew. But thx for the video just wish you had someone filming for you so I can see how things are taken off.. Steve
The screw is probably stripped. Get a flat blade under it and pry it up while unscrewing it, should come out. No, just a little bit of fluid will drain out, unless you start the car, then the transmission will pump it all out.
Bought my 08 Mazda 6 over 2yrs ago cause its a nice sporty looking car, But after investigating, every mechanical problem on this car is so complicated . Fuck this BS. But thx for the video
thanks so much, have to replace my radiator and it looks like a real pain but you made it look less complicated. any idea of how long this should take with 2 people. no powertools. I have to schedule it around my work schedule and school.
Yeah the design on this car seems to be rediculous for fixing just about anything on the front end lol. Gotta change a headlight? Well, you gotta remove the whole bumper
Bonjour j'ai une fuite au-dessus du démarreur s'est une fuite de liquide de refroidissement ya til un e durites qui pas a cet endroit la merci Mazda 6 2003 diesel
I think If the radiator is down, u gotta have to get rid of the entire car!! Its one hell of a job to replace and more costly than the face value of the car!!
I salute you for your work for actually dismantling the car to the shell, I thought you could get around it without taking off the whole front smh.
Again appreciate this video for the clarity on how to go about doing it for self💯
Thanks a million for loading this video, I'm almost certain the people who designed this vehicle are sadists. What time scale are we talking about in removing everything.
All the Best
from Glasgow
It looks worse than it is. For a total beginner, I would say 4 hours start to finishe. For an experienced mechanic, 2 hours.

I couldn't agree more definitely feel more comfortable going into can't help but to smack my head at having to take the car apart just to get access 😂
Doing this job right now as I watch this, COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU MAN!! THANKS!!!

I have to do this today. Outside in the freezing cold. Umm no, I'll just pour gas on it.
hey me too! haha! almost done though thank god
Omg. This was one hell of a video. Great job man!
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful pointing out all the hardware and sizes.
No problem. Half the job is knowing which tools and tool combinations to use, so I try to simplify that process.

i'm not buying another mazda 6. replacing anything requires taking the car apart.....
I could NOT agree with you more on the design of this car 🤦🏽
Thanks for explication
Super help full video
Did the transmission fluid leak out? Or did you put a stop in the hose? Thanks for the video!!
Nah, it will give a couple of drips, but it's usually OK. Glad I could help.
@@316Autos mine poured out. I'll top it back off
Yeah the design on this car seems to be rediculous for fixing just about anything on the front end lol. Gotta change a headlight? Well, you gotta remove the whole bumper
hella helpful!
I need to replace my fans do I have to go through this process?
Yes, but you won't have to pull the entire cross member out, you should be able to just slide it back a little bit.
My '04 jaguar xtype had the exact same process to get to my radiator. Complete pain in the ass to do by yourself
Great video man! I just changed the radiator on my 03 mazda 6, but the heater stoped working. Any tips on what went wrong?
Did it stop working after you changed the radiator, or was it a previous issue? Might be a stopped up heater core.

How many hours would you say this took?
First time I did it 2-3 hours. I could do it again in 1-2 hours.

It's really not that bad, just looks bad.
Any idea how much at the trans cooler held how much were u low
Very little. Maybe 1/2 a cup.

This is one of the reasons I got rid of my piece of shit 2007 Mazda 6. Honda or Toyota from now on for me.
I think If the radiator is down, u gotta have to get rid of the entire car!! Its one hell of a job to replace and more costly than the face value of the car!!
Thank you for everything.
God bless you.
How long did it take you total to change it
Hour or two.
thank you
Its a lot but just bolts n clamps
I never had to take off the bumper
4 cylinder or 6 cylinder? Guessing 4cyl because there's a lot more room.
Not that bad if u just keep the fan on the car
Yeah, it definitely looks worse than it is.
What year is this Mazda 6?
Something like 2003-2009
03-08 is the generation. Been a LONG time, but I think this one was an 03.
Special Hell LMAO!!!
Oh yeah, the one they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.
It almost seems like Mazda designed it with the intention of making the radiator the hardest thing to reach..
Looks way harder than it is. I've tackled much more difficult radiators.
JC316 I just did my 2003 Mazda b2300 radiator.. One of the easiest jobs ever. The design is fix friendly not like the Mazda in this video
Most trucks are easy. Try a Ford Focus or an 05 ish Pontiac Sunfire though, and the mazda is easy.
Is the car manual transmission? Looks a little different than my automatic.
Nope, it's an auto.
Ford wants it to be a pain.
It is the worst engineered car I have ever seen. Its ridiculous to go through the things you have to do to change a radator.

Could be worse, I could say nothing at all.
