What a great mechanic! Love the way he explains how to do the job. And, love how he admits he is wrong about something. I'm looking forward to watching other podcasts

Thank you Jay. I was able to replace the alternator and belt on my girlfriends car yesterday thanks to your video. I had the most trouble getting the alternator physically out/in. I disconnected the bracket towards the rear of the engine bay holding that AC line to give me a little more wiggle room. Until I did that, was unable to squeeze it through.

Would this be roughly the same for a 2007 Mazda TS2?

New sub here thanks for sharing, where is the thermostat on this model car is it under near the alternator I did see the water housing in the video not sure if that was it

[@jaythemechanic4950]

[@jaythemechanic4950]

Hey Rad. The thermostat housing is on the drivers side of the engine where the battery is. If you look on that side of the engine you will see a black plastic thermostat housing. Hope that helps.

How long does it take ??

[@jaythemechanic4950]

Thank you for your question. If you move quickly it should take less than 1 hour.

[@nickretenio2180]

Is the alternator going out on the mazda 2 a reoccurring problem?

[@jaythemechanic4950]

I'm not sure about that.... But, what I have noticed is that the cheaper the vehicle price when new, the more likely they have cheaper components. I have already replaced the cv axel, wheel bearing, and alternator on this vehicle.

[@mikehewson576]

But how did you actually squeeze it out 😂 ding our mazda verisa and there is next to zero room.

[@johnkingangi6939]

so true .. had to take out the entire front (bumber, headlights etc) to get through to it

[@pyromaniac354]

@@johnkingangi6939 same. Pretty easy to take bumper and that off tho

[@taichihead42]

Crying out out it's flithy.

[@joebrowser775]

Thank you! The only other person disgusted by the dirt on that car lol

[@paulgill7222]

Is it easy to change the water pump? And do you have to remove the passenger tire to get access to it? Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you
