2008 MazdaSpeed3 Purge Valve Replacement

Purge Valve Replacement on a 2008 Mazdaspeed3, I recently was having a hard start after refueling, the car would start and idle at 500 rpm and barely run and would stall but would restart and with a quick gas pedal press it would run fine once it idled out.

So I googled a bit and found that it was the purge valve.
 I bought one from AMAZON.com the

Dorman 911-702 Mazda 6 Purge Valve


Start by removing the Inter-cooler Cover Screws and the plastic guard.



Locate the Purge Valve (in between the inter-cooler and the battery box)


Remove the hose guarding to get to the clamps and remove the power connector to the purge valve

Remove the Hose Clamps and slide off the Purge Valve

The rubber mount will not be in the Same Orientation 

Remove the Rubber mount from the new one and align to be the same as the one you just removed

Re-install in the reverse order and Enjoy your speed again

MazdaSpeed 3 2008 Idler / Tensioner Pulleys and Belt

Changing the idler pulley, serpentine belt and tension pulley on a 2008 MazdaSpeed 3 is quite easy ( I do not know if this all applies to the regular Mazda 3) and can be completed in a couple hours. I got all my parts from Napa www.napaonline.com  / good luck 1. Set the e-brake 2. Loosen the Lug nuts on the Front Passenger Tire 3. Jack the front of the car and support on jack stands 4. Remove the front Passenger tire 5. Remove the bolts that attach the small plastic splash guard toward the front of the fender well ( this gives you a bit more room for getting at the idler)  (A view from the top of the engine bay) 6. Use a Combo Wrench on the Tensioner Pulley to slack the belt and slide it off the pulley (Turn the wrench Clock-Wise to slack the belt, note that there is a notch so that the Tensioner can only rotate so far so do not exert the Tensioner beyond the point it feels it stops rotating) 7. Remove the two bolts that hold the Tensioner to the Engine Block 8. R

2008 Mazdaspeed3 A/C pulley bearing replacement

Warning ! working on your own car is dangerous and all parts listed below are not guaranteed to work on your case so do your homework. this is just a guide of what I did to remedy a problem and how I was able to trouble shoot and resolve my issue as inexpensively as possible. First off this is the horrible noise my car was making from this bearing being bad, It was pretty easy to deduce what was the issue, or at least narrow it down. Turn the cabin temperature all the way down and cycle the a/c button ( AC on no noise and AC off, video above). At this point I knew it was AC compressor, AC clutch or pulley related . I read around on some sites and found that this bearing from autozone fits (MT2021) for $23 and the one from napa was $80 and it was worth trying as the whole pulley assembly from onlinemazdaparts was $205 but you do not need a press for this option, but we will get to that later. pop your new bearing in the freezer just for good measure the night before you plan
