Ok I have come to the conclusion my thermostat has went bad BUT before I go buy one here are my symptoms. First off my car will not warm up for anything she just always at C on the lines at the bottom until I run her then she will raise a little. So since I am going to replace that can anyone tell me why I should order the Mazda OEM thermo instead of one at autozone or advanced auto parts ? Thanks in advance.

 

Because i bought the autozone one and it failed a month later 30 miles form my house. I had to go to a Pepboys and make a new hose because they didnt even make the one that busted. And i had to get another shitty thermostat. Im going to the mazda dealer today to get an OEM one

 

I think that the OEM one is $20 and the autozone one is $7. It not that much more for getting the right part

 

Thanks for the history with autozone I will be going to Mazda.

 

Yes that sounds like you need to change the thermostat. Get the Mazda one.

at the same time, pressure test the system to make sure there is no blockage.

 

I had the auto zone one and my motor was running too hot. I had ordered mine from mazdatrix with all new hoses....
