Thanks for the video. I'm not qualified, but am a high level DIY with my own hoist in my shed. I took the 30" you suggested as a challenge. At 3 minutes, I had the car lifted on the hoist and old belt off - that's when the trouble started. New belt had a wrong memory shape because of the way it was packaged was the first issue. It kept falling off the pulleys. Then I found it to be not going around all pulleys due to Space Age tech dictating it's length. I was alone and had to find stuff, like a ratchet STRAP to hold the long ring spanner tensioner back and then find I had no 21 mm (MIA) for the crank bolt, but did find an Imperial size socket fit the crank bolt and was able to walk the belt across the crank pulley in reverse, then make the other pulley to the front right after the partial derail. After all that - 31 mins.
awesome video. super simple job decided to remove tire for more space and had to use a close ended wrench not enough space for rachet. Also good tip make sure jack up car pretty high if using top half of jack handle for leverage like I did or it will hit concrete before you get full release of tortion spindle for easy reinstiation of belt. I also found it helpful to draw a quick sketch of pulleys and belt on a cardboard box instead of pics . $20 bucks for belt took about 45min. with my teenage son. Thanks.
I own a 2009 Mazda 2, and a 2011 Mazda 3 (1.6 litre diesel),and I love the semplicity of these two engines,in particular the Mazda 2's one. It's really easy to service both cars. By the way,thanks a lot for your videos, they're very helpful! Cheers from Italy!
+NeoEletto24 I love how easy the 2 is to work on. It's by far the easiest car to service that I've owned. I'm glad that you enjoy the channel. Thanks for watching!
Thanks HiroshimaSpirit. I replaced the belt today on my 2009 (120km) Mazda 2, your video was very useful. The job went smoothly but I had to check the belt path a few times until I got it right, you are right it's not intuitive. I measured the new belt a few times against the original as it seemed too long, finally got it right. Man, that tensioner is pretty tight. I replaced the engine mount on that side of the engine at the same time so I had a little bit more room. Thanks for the info, great channel.
@@JaxRwld The engine was noisy and running very rough at idle. When idling the car with the bonnet open I noticed movement of the engine and suspected the rubber of the engine mount may have failed, when removed it was sloppy and had obviously reached end of life, they don't last forever.
I ended up changing mine from the top. I bought one of those belt tension tools for changing belts from Amazon by Gear Wrench. It worked almost perfect. I had a little trouble getting enough room to pull the pully as the wrench was starting to hit engine parts but i got it with my own hands as I held the wrench with one and used the other hand to place the belt. I tried it from the bottom but my socket wrench wouldn't fit between the nut and car. Don't forget to take pictures of the belt on the car before you remove it so you know how it goes on.
An extra-long-handle 14mm offset box end wrench makes the tensioner even easier to do, because it slips right past that hardline with more clearance than a ratchet. The owners manual just says "inspect" every other oil change. I did mine at 60k because it looked exactly like yours.
Nice video, thanks! There is an interval for accesory belt replace, you can find it in back of your car manual. If you don't have one, i can look at mine and inform you. By the way we really want to see how did you replace the part, etc. Maybe in the next videos you could try to find a tripod or something to put the camera on. Your videos are helping me to keep my mazda2 maintained. thank you!
+elektronstorm I'm sure there is a service interval, but visual inspection sometimes trumps going "by the book". As far as actually installing the part, a tripod wouldn't have helped in this case. The space is too tight and either I or other things in the engine bay would have gotten in the way of the shot. An explanation is enough when the rest is simple common sense. If I don't include a visual, it's generally not THAT necessary.
@DaedalusZero Thanks so much for posting this!!! I had been looking for information on changing the belts on my 2011 Mazda 2 and have had no luck. I love that you specified about the timing chain, good to know, one less maintenance item I have to worry about! Also this looks easy so I'm now excited at the prospect of not having to find a mechanic simply because I can't find maintenance procedures for this car lol! If you ever do a radiator flush and hose change I'd love to see that procedure done.
+David Neff No problem! I make/share these videos because I hate looking through bogus forum posts and digging for instructions to stuff, only to come up empty on information. It's easier to just watch a video. Haha At the rate my girlfriend drives, our green 2 will be due for a coolant flush (120k miles) before too long and there will certainly be a video for that. Thanks for watching!
Nice one sunshine. This helped me change my wife's Mazda 2, sorry, "Maise" belt. Top tip though, instead of a ratchet spanner, try a 14mm offset ring spanner next time on the auto belt tensioner.... cost £10, no grazed knuckles o9r bent brake pipe, priceless!
@@sdm789 Hi Steve, spot on mate yes, that is what you need. You do have to get under the car, I jacked her up on two stands for security and removed the aux belt guard. The rest, as they say, was child-splay!
@@sdm789 Hi Steve, no worries, I'm a rookie too! I jacked up both sides on stands, just because I could. But I did feel safer doing it that way. Didn't want to leave just one side on a hydraulic jack that may 'let go' at any time. I was thinking the same as you cost wise. For a 2008 model year car I couldn't justify the £200 + dealer charge. You are correct unsaying the length of the ring spanner does not provide enough leverage, I just slid a length of plastic plumbing pipe I had laying around the garage over the ring spanner to increase the leverage length. Worked a treat. There are several ways to skin that cat! Now the Mrs is talking about a "squeak" when she drives around corners... err, OK, I'm thinking wheel bearings?
@@HiroshimaSpirit Agree 100% Mr Spirit! I'm trying to diagnose the problem from afar based on my senior management's observations... ! When I was in the car with her, the constant rumbling boiled my proverbial and in my humble judgement thought - err wheel bearings.
Thanks for the tutorial! This video is apparently also applicable to the 1.3L that’s available in europe and asia! Same engine just a different bottom end.
Firstly just wanted to say thanks for all your videos! They've been really helpful and have given me new ideas as what to modify with my car. Have you ever changed the manual transaxle oil? I believe Mazda claims it's a lifetime fluid but various 2 forums say it should be changed around 60k to get back that factory smooth shift feel.
+C Albert I have not. The silver 2 only has 25k miles and the green 2 is automatic. However, I'll probably swap to a performance gear oil eventually; Likely before the 60k mark.
Hiya, just noticed your question, no fluid is a life time solution. 1st time Mazda changed it for me at my request at 40K miles then at 111K miles I changed it myself. for a 2010 model you need 75w80 GL4 (not GL3 or GL5) about 3.04 litres (as per the hand book), mine took 4 litres. I used Mannol GL4 Synthetic, I paid £21 for it via Amazon UK. as to the old oil luckily no metal shavings came out only very fine metal stuff. I noticed cold start into 1st and reverse is butter smooth. I highly recommend changing it every 30K.
Thanks man I changed the belt myself after watching your video. One thing I did different is I didn't went under the car instead used the 14mm spanner from the top. Also used 15mm spanner with 14 mm to get the leverage.
i have been trying to get mine changed for god know how many hours, not any easy job for 1 person. somehow managed to get it off yesterday but getting the new one on is another pain in the butt, has asked a friend to come help. may be with an extra set of hand will be able to do it. there is also a Pittsburg serpentine belt took kit which goes for $20 at Harbor Freight and that seems like could make your life much easier than having to pay $190 for the belt change to a mechanic.
Today, seeing this video I easily changed the belt, but removing it I noticed that the tensioner pulley is completely rubbish because it's wobbling when doing by hand. Also the spring inside the tensioner makes a noise when turning clockwise to release the belt. The idler pulley is also wobbling slightly and the bearings are wearing out. It has only 55k miles 89.000 km, really sad it's already time to replace all those parts, but at least I noticed!
Thanks mate l don’t work on rice burns much only old school clunky v8 s and l had to change the belt on my sons girl who owns a 2 your help was much appreciated. Mark
My 2011 (111K, auto) sounds a bit loud for about a minute when I first start it up in the morning. I can't find anything online about it. The noise does go away after I start to drive. Do you have any suggestions on what to check?
Nice video mate, good to known, by the way the water pump on this car where is located and after how many miles we need to change it? Maybe you put a video about this.thanks man
Thanks! I’ve never had to change one on a 2 and I don’t know the service interval. Perhaps check the owner’s manual. If I ever do replace the water pump myself I’ll certainly make a video about it. 👍🏻
Hello, does the bolt for the tensioner have to be torqued to a certain spec? Im new to cars and know that some bolts do and some dont... I dont know which this is :)
+Davood Yazdani Thanks! Neither of my cars need a thermostat, so that's gonna be a no. I don't replace things for the sake of making videos. I make videos when something needs to be replaced or I have a new modification to install. Maybe one day, right?
Thank you so much. I have trouble finding out if it is my belt's change time or not. I Inspected the belt of my Mazda 2. the interior part is OK but the exterior part of the belt has some kind of an abrasion mark with a length of about 4 centimeters (the abrasion mark is directed longitudinal). SHOULD I CHANGE IT??
@@HiroshimaSpirit No Problem at all! I Changed it! But actually now I'm having another issue. There's an altering noise like when a moving belt is touching something. but it's not always heard. I can just hear it in the low revs. Don't know where to look for it. :(
Hi, just purchased a used Mazda 2 and noticed a clicking sound coming from the accessory belt…the clicking is small little sparks of electricity that isn’t exactly in one spot, seems like it moves with the belt and pulleys. Any suggestions?
Hi. The problem about your video is you never showed how to take off the belt cover. Do you access the bolts from the top looking down or do you remove the right wheel and the bolts are there?
In the clips where I explain how to remove the cover, I specify that the car is in the air on jack stands and that the cover is fastened to the bottom of the car. The clips are plainly and clearly shot from underneath the car, looking upward. I didn’t feel the need to show me ratcheting a few bolts out because that’s common sense. If removing the belt guard had been an option from above, it would have been mentioned in the video.
there's a loud ticking sound when I turn on my AC and the car is idle, when i drive or turn off the AC, the ticking sound just gone, my friend said its the belt issue, before i'm getting a new belt to replace, any thought?? thanks alot!!
Probably because some roads and driving conditions in Russia call for extra protection. Here in the US, the Mazda2 doesn’t have that sort of thing from the factory because it doesn’t need to.
My mazda Axela 2006 has same engine but no splash guard, why? and how to replace the tensioner pulley. if you have a video for that please share. Thankyou for this video tutorial. IF some one can share the link where i can order this belt. thanks
I am a bit confused, you say that this engine has a timing chain so it doesn't need to be serviced, but then you change the timing belt. So which is it?
This is the accessory belt (see title) that runs the water pump and air conditioning. The timing chain is underneath the timing cover and connects the camshafts to the crankshaft. Even if this engine had a belt instead of a chain, there would still be two separate belts.
@@HiroshimaSpirit I understand now, thanks for the quick reply. Another question, does a 08 Mazda 2 Petrol engine still need to have the fuel filter replaced?
I thought you knew. Because I need to replace my dipstick its broke(the handle broke). And I dont have idea what is the length of it. But anyways, thank you. And youre videos are very helpful. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I bought whatever the online parts store offered for a Gates belt. I never looked at any of the details.
Any issues with it being a bit longer or shorter Josh?
There’s an automatic tensioner for a reason. It should take up any slack, especially a few mm.

Hi, what series and displacement is this engine

why you do not have metal engine protection ?
Do you mean like a skid plate? There isn’t one. That’s how the car comes from the factory.

Probably because some roads and driving conditions in Russia call for extra protection. Here in the US, the Mazda2 doesn’t have that sort of thing from the factory because it doesn’t need to.

Only if there’s an issue with fuel flow or quality. It’s in-tank, so it’s extra fuss to replace.

Do you know the length of the dipstick(engine oil) for mazda 2? Can you please tell me... thank you.
I don’t, sorry. Why do you need to know the dipstick length?
I thought you knew. Because I need to replace my dipstick its broke(the handle broke). And I dont have idea what is the length of it. But anyways, thank you. And youre videos are very helpful. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just buy one that’s specific to the Mazda2. It shouldn’t be difficult to find online. 👍🏻
