More manufacturers should offer a v6 option in these kind of sedans. I mean this year Mazda 6 has a 4 banger, 4 banger turbo and a v6. And comes in auto and manual. Everyone should be doing this. An option for everyone
I have a question. It's not about the starter. You have the exact same car so I'm homing you know. I'm looking for the turbine speed controllers. I've searched the top, sides, front, back, bottom and I can not seem to find it. I've seen many other models and theirs are so easy to find but for some reason, they aren't in the same place. I was getting desperate and watched your video to check and see if you had them under your starter before actually pulling mine to check.
Ah alright lol, my car won't crank at all now and I believe it's the starter, but since mine is a 2.4 L, do you think it is still in the same spot (the spot of the starter) as your car? Thanks!
@@munnday86 lol you just skipped through removing the 2nd bolt and went straight to the starter already removed. We can see the 2nd bolt just hard to get it removed
I wish you the best with your 6. I sold mine. Only had 115,000 miles on it. It had a bad timing chain cover leak and oil leaking from the power steering pump seal. It had too many oil leaks for that low of milage. I sold it and got a toyota sequoia with 209k it and doesn't leak any oil anywhere. I love the 6 but had too many oil leaks :(
@@munnday86 I had oil leaks coming out of my valve cover gaskets and I had my cousin replace them for me. Everything else is fine, but I need to get a new alternator. I only use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5W/20 motor oil. My car has the 5 speed manual transmission and what I love about my car is the leather interior, driving excitement, steering feel, brake feel, and handling. I hope someday I can upgrade my transmission to a 6 speed manual. I cannot let my car go just for minor problems because of the size of my garage and the size of my car is just perfect for trunk space and passenger volume. Also the street I living on is narrow.
@@munnday86 no. I got all the battery stuff out and then went to unhook the little plastic piece and it won't come off nor will the cover on that hose that is in the way. haha
Thanks for showing where the starter is. I thought it was in the front by the transmission and oil pan. I looked for it for like 10 minutes and was like screw it, someone on TH-cam should know where it is 😂 .
This is the most helpful video I have seen on TH-cam for Mazda 6 thanks for help

This video is extremely well-edited and up-front with information, thank you!
Thank you for the positive comment. If you need any help with installing please let me know
Thanks for the video. This will be my project for tomorrow.
You just went passed the most important part, that is removing the starter. 🤦

Great video but quick question I got a new starter and it has a gasket on it, does the gasket stay on or do I take it off before installing it?
Mine didnt come with a gasket... I didnt use one.
munnday86 Gotcha thanks
😅 I'd say have it on so it'll seal up any leaks and the component won't interfere with the motor ie. Seal tight/rust against each other n so..
Thanks for the informative video I'll be installing one this week with the help of your video.
Awesome hope it helps.
Just installed mine, vid was 10/10
Is there a difference in the replacement between a 2.3 L and 3.0 L? Thanks!
Henry Romero yes i believe there is a big diffrence.
Ah alright lol, my car won't crank at all now and I believe it's the starter, but since mine is a 2.4 L, do you think it is still in the same spot (the spot of the starter) as your car? Thanks!
Henry Romero just seen a video for a 2.3. Its located on the front of the engine.. Easy to access from the bottom once the splash guard is removed.
Ah alright, thank you! I will look into it more with my dad, but I just want it fixed asap now. But still, thank you!
why is the starter out already? must be that Ford part in that Mazda
I got a 2003 Mazda 6 V6 3L and the mechanic said it would take 8.5 hours labor to replace the starter. How long would you say this took you??
I know that's a scam but I just wanna know for reference
I would say 2 hrs tops.
wish you showed how u got the 2nd bolt out
I showed both bolts. You just need a couple extensions that's all.
@@munnday86 lol you just skipped through removing the 2nd bolt and went straight to the starter already removed. We can see the 2nd bolt just hard to get it removed
i wish it was a ford part.. everything is made in china.
Hey man, I have a 2003 2.3 liter Mazda 6, with a 2004 starter be compatible?
Majin the location will probably be diffrent
munnday86 as long as it fits lol
What about for a 2003 Mazda 6
Same install
Appreciate the easy to follow video
werecow68 hope it helps you out.
My 2004 Mazda 6s 3.0L V6 has 131,500 miles, and my starter is still the original.

I'm so confused on how to get the thing with the 3 plugs out or how you even lifted the starter out. :( Please Help!
Do you have the starter unbolted and the wiring to it disconnect
@@munnday86 no. I got all the battery stuff out and then went to unhook the little plastic piece and it won't come off nor will the cover on that hose that is in the way. haha
I see where all the bolts are and your instructions were on point, just can't get the little plastic piece and hose to move. lol
@@breeness56 yeah takes a little bit of motivation to move.
Thanks for naking this vid
James Esmay your welcome
James Esmay what did u mean "by put it in reverse"? I hear a spinning sound but no startup
James Esmay once you get the starter in. Just put everything back in order just reverse
Great Video
1/2 inch equals 13 mm for the purist.
Sound like there were some clicks before car was started.
Yes that is why I replaced the starter.
Mine car won't even click I don't know what's wrong with mine
Check battery have it tested at autozone
Thanks for showing where the starter is. I thought it was in the front by the transmission and oil pan. I looked for it for like 10 minutes and was like screw it, someone on TH-cam should know where it is 😂 .
At 200,070 m. Put a new one, thanks a lot.
What is a starter?
Evan Faraday starts the engine, electric start.
Negative pole first.
Its reads 12.40 v
nestor ortiz where did you get the starter from.... Hope the starter is not dead out the box...
nestor ortiz. What does the voltage say when cranking it over. Does the voltage drop alot.
I got it from AutoZone and thr volt drop to 10.40
I just finish and it still clicks
And doesn't turn on
nestor ortiz sound like the battery.
Am about to test it
nestor ortiz. Yes they can test it a autozone for free
You probably had two bad startrs
