Change speedo face on mazda bongo
REMOVE AND REPLACE SPEEDO FACE
How to remove the speedo face
Undo the 4 screws that hold the black cover in front of the speedo. Pull the cover off. Undo the 4 screws that hold the instrument cluster. Lift out the cluster. Disconnect the 2 or 3 mulit-plugs from the back. Remove the black panel that hold the glass (push clips). If you don't have the proper tool, use 2 metal spoons to lift the needle from the speedo face. You use the bowl of the spoons on the needle and press on the handles. (It's easier than it sounds.) Undo the 2 screws that hold the speedo face on. Lift it off. Fit the new face.
How to zero the needle on a new speedo face
Fit the speedo unit (without the glass) back into the dash, with all wires connected into the back of it.
Don't fit the needle-stop post to the speedo face yet.
Switch the ignition on. Fit the needle in the zero position.
Now fit the stop-post and glass.
Where is the location of ac expansion valve on 2002 mazda
On a 2002 Protege, you access the expansion valve by removing the glove box and the evaporator case on the passenger side. Two ac lines are disconnected in the engine compartment, two bolts and two electrical plugs and the evaporator case slides out.
2006 LX. Runs fine but what is causing a clicking/flapping sound?
This is one of those where you need to play detective. Check the silly stuff first. Is it a piece of loose body trim or a loose mud flap rattling as you drive along? Is it a decorative 'stick on' accessory like a window flag flapping? Is there something stuck under the vehicle like a tree branch or a bit of trash you've driven over.
Is it a 1, 2 or 3 clicking sequence then nothing, or is it more of a constant 'machine gun' click. Start the vehicle when the engine is cold and listen for the noise. Let the engine sit at idle until it is up to working temperature, (About 10 to 15 minutes from totally cold). DON'T rev the engine! Is the noise there when it's cold or does it start when the engine has warmed up?
Does the noise happen only when driving, only while parked or both? Does it change with road speed, (faster when you press the gas and in gear, and slows when you brake), or with engine speed, (Put it in neutral and gradually press the gas pedal while you listen for any change in the noise)? Does cornering affect the sound? Use the comment button below and I'll see what extra help I can give you.

How important is the ac compressor for a 2001 mazda mpv
It all depends.
I’m not at the shop to be able to look up your vehicle at the moment for specific details, but if you look at the drive belts and see how they are routed, you should be able to see if the A/C compressor has a dedicated belt. If the belt to the A/C is by itself, you can buy yourself a little time by removing, or cutting off the belt to it.
If it’s making noise, you probably have a bad bearing and you do not want to be driving it unless you can remove the belt.
If you leave it as it is and the bearing goes completely out, it could make a pretty serious costly mess. For example, it could take out several expensive parts with it such as the radiator, cooling fan, fan shroud, alternator, etc... hopefully you get the idea.
Please note, with the belt removed from it you will not have A/C.
hopefully you find this info useful.
