Hey I’m hoping your going to get this comment and that you can give me a few answers. I just got a 2009 Mazda 6 with the 3.7 as well she’s definitely a bit clicky at idle and I have heard a concerning noise on a cold start up a few different times and now after watching your videos I have come to realize it’s time for me to get the timing chain/water pump on the way and get it in so I can keep the car alive. The car runs amazing has been nothing but maintained it has 277k on it running smooth as new but is due for a tune up. Your videos are very helpful and your the man for getting this done yourself! I know this isn’t the water pump post I seen this is your most recent and I’m looking to get ahold of you. Could you please tell me everything I’m going to need to replace while it’s all out and I’m in there? Like little things like seals,valve cover gaskets ,boots, etc? I’m just hoping to see who you ordered your parts from and what all to order to have this job 100% complete without cutting corners or reusing old parts etc thanks man it would help greatly let me know
Hey, nice video I have that same car do yk any way to put in an alternator what would I have to remove to put one back in it’s not firing through the top
according to Haynes manual you have to remove the air duct and then pull out the cooling fan shroud assembly, then undo the AC compressor from the engine but not the refrigerant lines and shift it to the side. Getting that shroud of of the way should give you enough room between the engine and the radiator.

I have the same issue with the cooling fan but also my A/c compressor is not working, do you think is also the module?
