*Your 323 BJ hatchback (In NA, Protege5 2.0L, 140PS, 4 wheel disc brakes, 5-lug 16" wheels) is a real sweetheart! Continue to show her TLC and she will continually reward you. Larger REAR anti-roll bar and bushings, such as offered by Racing Beat, Anaheim CA removes leans in sharp curves. On the street, OE front bar is fine.* *Rear fender rust tendencies are found only on hatchbacks, not sedans. Replacing tail lamps and hatch rubber seals, injecting flexible acrylic caulking around wheel wells cures this.* *Rear motor mount fails from crashing over speed bumps, intersection drainage dips taken at speed and rough roads. Then the flexible rubber air intake duct tears on underside causing mysterious F/A ratio error DTCs. A basic code reader is your friend here.* *Turbine speed sensor mounted top of ATX case fails at ~100,000 miles. CEL illuminates from DTCs logged and OD not available. Easy no dis-assembly fix is use swivel socket on 1.5 meter extension. Before removing sensor the area around it must be scrupulously air-blasted, spray solvent, toothbrush and Q-tips clean!* *Also, thank you for the nice drive around Region Hradec Králové, Czechia.

I still drive mine. Only 130000 km on it. Due to poverty and forced retirement I got new clutch. No new car. Don't regret it. Bear in mind if both hl globes go at same time, light electrics go intermittent and high beam indicator dosnt work. Solved with replacement globes. 40 $ aus.
Had a 2002 1.6l 323 Astina (hatchback) manual for many years. Zero problems. Always reliable. Upgraded to a Mazda 3 hatch in 2017, but funnily enough, even though the 3 is very fun to drive and faster, all the electronics make it sometimes a little too "busy", and I almost wish to jump into the old, simple, 323 again. My wife had a 2001 protege (sedan) 323, same engine and transmission, and it was also bullet proof. She sold that in 2012 to get a family car. The 2017 Mazda 3 I now drive (2.0l, manual) has also been bullet proof so far. Oh, and there was never any rust in either of the 323's, and they were never garaged (Australia).
I want a wiring diagram of an automatic climate control in mazda 323 sp20 model. Where can I find it? And a wiring diagram of the gear indicator light on the dashboard. Thanks.
Anyone have an auto? Both of mine a 1999 1800cc and a 2001 1600cc, had problems selecting drive from startup when cold. And the HOLD light flashes. The problem gets steadily worse until I start to think I need to get it fixed, then the problem just dissappears and all returns to normal. In a few months time, it will probably start again, steadily getting worse....

Would you recommend one with 210000km on it

I have 45k on mine
