[Hi guys!, I just bought a ...]

Mazda

 

 

You can call me a disloyal, but the car is in way better condition to any late-nineties Legacy I was looking for. It's a '98 626 2.0 AT, the body and the interior are in mint condition. The only thing that concerns me is the AT, I have no information about any ATF change and it's 200,000 km car.

 

 

[Where can I find this corner light?]

suberdave, no problem, thank you anyway!!

 

markjw, I think that's the one, of course I'm completety interested on having it, please don't waste it or do anything even if it's wet... hehe. Now here is about 30°C so it will get dry soon

 

Now the details... how???

 

Can it be shipped as a gift so I won't pay taxes? (I think since it's used I won't pay, but I'm not sure).

 

How do I pay you?. Money transfer, as UPS, DHL, WU, Afex?

 

I've never done this before, if you prefer we can continue by email.

 

 

Thanks!

[Where can I find this corner light?]

Thank you MilesFox, I had no idea that this type of light was exclusive for the DL USDM. Does that mean that there's only one type of corner light for the quad headlight model?

 

This is the light before the accident.

 

[Where can I find this corner light?]

does the orange go all the way across the light. or does it have a little bit of clear all the way around the orange lends?

 

i may have one.

 

 

Hi, thank you for the answer. I'll get a detailed pic of the good light in order to be completely sure about it.

 

 

Thanks again!

[Where can I find this corner light?]

Hi guys, this car is from a friend, it is a US version that were not sold here in Chile, this guy had a minor accident and the corner light got crushed. It is impossible to find here in Chile, does anyone know about how can I get it shipped from USA?

 

 

 

 

Thanks!!

 

 

[A/C Wiring & piping... anyone?]

Hi to all!

 

I'm about to sell my 89 GL (not functional by now), but before I do it I'd like to remove the whole A/C and install it in my 93 DLX, but really don't know anything about the A/C connections, I guess it has a +12V from the ignition key or from the fuse box, also it has a sensor (magnetic or optical, I don't know) on the compressor, which has to go somewhere, there is the A/C Switch, and an actuator that cuts the A/C when you demand power, also, for what I remember, there is an actuator that accelerates the idle RPM when the A/C is engaged. Is there something I'm missing? Is it possible to do? is there some "control box" for the A/C?

 

 

 

Thanks!!!

[Could this be the End of my 2.7 Project? :(]

Que triste amigo, afortunadamente tu tío está bien, pudo haber sido peor. Espero que puedas ver tu auto pronto para evaluar si es reparable, pero con todo el esfuerzo y tiempo puesto en él, creo que te será fácil hacerlo, así que ¡ánimo!

 

(Sorry to all of you english speakers)

[93 Loyale, passenger door lock problem]

The electric locker/unlocker is the same for all doors including the rear hatch. Besides the tip the othe guys gave you, I also recommend you to try to repair it, it can be removed with two screws and you remove the cover with some little screws, there is a plastic gear in it that has a copper contact with a little copper wire, which touches the contact on certain position of the gear and doesn't touch it on other position, that wire sometimes bends a little and doesn't touch the contact, or gets stained and insulated. The other possibility is the wire had broken, so you can make it with copper wire and a long nose plier.

[Cooling system blockage?]

I have the same problem, but it looks like the drain plug is broken and a part of it remains on its place, since the screwdriver I put into the hole seems to ends up knocking something very hard and impossible to remove

[D/R questions - latest years and models?]

Here in Chile Loyales were sold new until 93, that's the one I have, and it has MPFI non-turbo, and 5 speed D/R.

[AC removal ???]

all you have to do is get the Non A/C alternator mount and a different belt and your good to go

 

I have it too!... in the '89 GL which I don't use, is it necessary to remove the whole dasboard to take off something?

 

Thanks!

[AC removal ???]

Sorry for reopening a five years old post, but I'd like to remove the whole A/C from my carb 89 GL.... just to install it in my 93 DLX with MPFI. Is it possible? what's in the inside of the car besides the switch for the A/C? What about the "heat exchanger", is there an extra radiator similar to the heater core?. The only problem I see, is I don't have the fun clutch, and I'm thinking to install an electric fan .... What do you think?

[How do I install bigger speaker on my Loyale front doors?]

Oops!... the speakers are these:

 

http://www.blaupunkt.de/en/products/loudspeakers/gt-series/produkt/gtx_662_mk_ii/?no_cache=1

 

Thank you Ben. And they're deeper and larger in diameter, there's no way they fit in the original plastic speaker base. What I'd like to do is your option 2, and I'd like to be pretty sure I won't spoil the door panel, so it would be very useful if someone who has done it before could tell me his experience. I know it's not a big job compared to the ones most of you do to your cars, but as I told, don't want to waste the panel.

 

 

Thanks again!!

[How do I install bigger speaker on my Loyale front doors?]

Hello everyone, I need to install a pair of Blaupunkt Speakers, but they're bigger than the ones that came with the car, thus they won't fit on the plastic base, and won't fit in the speaker hole on the interior plastic cover of the door. Here on the forum i've seen some of you guys install the speakers over the plastic cover, for doing so I think you have tu cut a hole bigger than the plastic grill on the cover, but... what else?... Do I have to use wood (like MDF or something) between the plastic cover and the metal, where originally the plastic base were?. If so, what thickness this wood should be?. Is there a template available somewhere, do I use the original screw holes, do I use long screws from the speakers screw holes through the plastic cover, then through the wood to get the original holes and/or new ones?.

 

By the way, these are the speakers I bought.

 

 

Thanks a lot!!

[My Loyale on the snow...]

Are you talkin about the light next to the beam? The one with the orange "bubble"?... here in Chile I can get'em for about 50 USD, new, one pair. Don't know how much for the shipping...

[My Loyale on the snow...]

Awsome pictures.

 

but whats with the snow on the engine trying to cool it down from waiting on the jeep for so long?

 

 

Hehehe.. that was a joke from a guy, my engine overheated a little cause it had some air in the cooling system, and someone said I had to open the hood and put some snow on the radiator, I left it open and when I came back I found this guy did me that "favor"...

[My Loyale on the snow...]

Last weekend some friends and I went to the mountains near Santiago, Chile, everyone thought that my Loyale was going to be the weakest one of the vehicles, but no; the one that needed the most help was the Jeep Compass

 

My Subie did very well on the snow, when the video was shot the car was not wearing chains on her shoes

 

 

Here some pics:

 

Here I wasn't stuck, just parked waitin' for the Compass...

[Distributor cap help...]

Thanks, then I won't even try. And you are right, I just had to speak with the correct person at the store, probably next monday they will have it for me

 

But I have to tell you, not all EA82 uses screws, my 89 GL with carb uses clips.

[Distributor cap help...]

Hi, I bought a cap cause the old one has the inner collectors too worn out, but when I tried to replace it, I noticed the old uses screws instead of clips, then I called the parts store, and they told me it was the only one left... What do you think? Should I try to drill this new one to put screws, or shuold I keep on lookin'?

 

I think this should fit on my 89 GL with carb, but I want in for my 93 MPFI.

 

Thanks!

 

 

[My Loyale climbing...]

There's a good place near to my house to play with my car, next time it rains i will go to do some mud drift

 

 

[91 Loyale Wagon, Clock isn't working.]

Last year when I bought my 93 Wagon the clock wasn't working, and it didn't for twelve years, according to what I was told. The very same day I got the car, I removed the clock (by cutting the wires, cause I didn't find any connector), and there was a resistor completely burned and the soldering was melted, I tried resoldering and it is working fine since then, about a year ago.

[EA 82 MPFI with no knock sensor]

93 Loyale is SPFI

 

 

Here in Chile there was a version available with MPFI (non-turbo) I have pictures to prove it!

 

 

Thanks to all of you, it seems it never used a knock sensor because there is not a failure code at the led in the ECU...

 

I will try to adjust the timing.

[EA 82 MPFI with no knock sensor]

My '93 Loyale knocks when the revs rises over 3000 (not when I try to get torque from the bottom), so I tried to check the knock sensor, but there isn't where it supposed to be, there's just the empty thread in the block... Is this normal? Does all the Injection models have to have a knock sensor or not necessarily?

 

(I use RON 95 or 97 depending on my wallet)

 

 

Thanks

[What Have You Done to your Soobie lately? (Please post in here and keep it going)]

Changed the wheels, the donor is an 89 GL Wagon, I also took off the power windows to put them on the 93 DLX Wagon you see.

Now:

 

What do you think?

[Getting My Car Professionally Detailed.]

Wow, what a nice surprise you found there... Congrats!!
