Thermostat and Coolant Change on 2010 Mazda 6 (GH)

Today I will change the thermostat and coolant. Add-on note: I had to top up the coolant reservoir 1 more time, but now it's perfect.

I use a 8mm hose at the drain of the radiator on my diesel gh only four or five inches but it then drains nicely into a pan. I cannot say for the petrol, but the diesel gh has enough room to reach down to the drain valve. But as you were renewing the thermostat, removing the undercovers was necessary. I hope that the original coolant is compatible with the Mazda fl22. The end of your video where you compared the new and the existing coolant worries me. Only because we know that you haven't drained the expansion vessel. I enjoy your content and your haphazard editing style, if there is a mistake you own it. keep it up and keep it coming.

The new coolant used is Mazda OEM FL22 coolant. I'm aware I didn't drain the expansion tank and the heater core. Glad you like the video. 👍 Oh yeah, If I mess up, then I mess up, that is my own stupidity 😂 You can bet the videos will be coming. 👌

Bought a Mazda 6 GH a few months back and your videos are a true source of inspiration, such an amazing amount of information, I can't believe it. Too bad these are not such popular cars and the information is rarely available. With that in mind, do you know if there is a factory solution to remove the roof rails that the M6 comes with, and cover the holes? I'm looking to remove the roof rails but I want a factory solution to cover the holes and protect everything from the weather, so it looks OEM.

👌Welcome to the Jap cars, that have a rust issue club😅😂 The underside needs to be treated, if you live in a wet climate. I'm actually working on preparing the video for this exact question you have. Yes, there is a factory solution to that. ( I will be making a video on how to do it in the future, once I get all the materials/ stuff needed) Buy ''Roof Rail Rack Moulding Clip Cover'' for your model. Sadly only sedans come with a flap that can be lifted and closed again, for a slick and OEM look. Estates have longer roof rails, that aren't made in 1 piece

Hello mate. Top man. Im planning to do this job soon so this is a great help. Can you tell me if that thermostat came with a new gasket? Thanks

[@KlavsX_]

Hi mate. Yes, I got this one on Ebay, it arrived with the gasket already installed, but I still did double check if it's sitting correctly. ( nobody wants a leaky thermostat right after changing it).

My mazda 6 from 2008 when i start it, i hear water sounds flushing from under the dashboard. when i give some revs, i hear the water running again. Is this air? Or to low coolant? also check engin light is on. This happened after garage fixed my headgasket, after they broke a bougie in to the cilinder!

[@KlavsX_]

Anytime there is a headgasket change, the engine needs a full on fluid change and bleeding, New oil / filters, coolant. You should check if your engine doesn't overheat, any liquid puddles under the car, and if your vents blow hot air. See if the engine revs are normal and it doesn't stumble or are irregular. It could be trapped air in the heater and the water pump pushing it around, but then your engine would overheat

@@KlavsX_ When it's on temperature the car iddles are not good stationary, it has dips, almost like it want to shutt off, then comes back normal iddle. the temperature is stable at 90 degrees in the middle. The heater blows hot air but in my opinion way too hot at max temp. But car stays at temperature. I'm going back tomorrow but i'm scared to blow up the headgasket! Or maybe it is already..

[@KlavsX_]

idle problems can be PCV valve / fuel / ignition related.

Hola. Que sintoma notaste para cambiar el termostato?? Gracias

[@KlavsX_]

Hi. I didn't had any symptoms, but there could be: Engine overheats ( thermostat stuck closed) Engine doesn't get up to temperature ( thermostat stuck open) Leak's from thermostat.
