Re: Air Con fail and fix
When I had my control unit replaced I took in a print out of the TSB. The guy in the dealership tried to look it up on their system but could not find it, so I think there is probably some sort of problem with their systems with regards to this particular issue. He phoned up Mazda who confirmed it w...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
I got mine back yesterday from getting the evaporator replaced. Unfortunately they damaged the dashboard when getting it off, so now have a wait to get that fixed :roll: , so the saga continues. I am also noticing a bubbling noise when I start the engine now. Must be related to the evaporator replac...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
Last time they said they would check the climate control after they replaced the condenser, but said it was all working fine. Of course it depends on the ambient temperature. This time I went better prepared and armed with a printout of the TSB. The guy said he had never seen it before and could not...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
then by my understanding of logic it will be all control units in the VIN and production date range which will be faulty and need replacing. It’s such a shame that Mazda, rather than just sitting back and waiting for the owner to complain, don’t take the opportunity to insist that a dealer replaces...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
Regarding the problem with the temperature controller which has a TSB (faulty logic board I believe). Can anyone confirm that this problem is inherent, in that if you have an affected unit (i.e. your VIN is one of those mentioned in the TSB) then it will never have worked properly, as opposed to a p...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
The condenser was definitely redesigned. I had to wait 4 months on back order for the new part to be manufactured and shipped over. I took it in May last year, but not sure when they started fitting the redesigned part.

Re: Air Con fail and fix
Had my aircon condenser replaced under warranty today at Beechwood in Derby. Very good service by the way ! One of the service department guys said it may have to be replaced again, unnecessarily, due to some Mazda mixup !! I,ll wait with baited breath !! They may have replaced it with the old part...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
My car has now been looked at and as expected the evaporator is knackered and needs replacing (the condenser has already been replaced). Thankfully it is only a few days wait to get the part compared to the 4 month wait for the condenser, so should be sorted in a week or two. Garage has been quite g...

Re: Air Con fail and fix
I think the air con is just not working again. The 'cold' air is only coolish when it should be ice cold, so they will have to fix that first anyway. I am pretty sure the climate control is not working properly either, but they won't look at that till the air con is working.

Re: Air Con fail and fix
Same here. Condenser replaced, but air con failed again a few weeks later. Similar symptoms with 'coolish' air on the lowest setting and then warm air on all other settings. Didn't have the heart to send it straight back to the dealers after waiting 4 months for the condenser fix, so will wait till ...
