SOURCE: ny mazda mpv lx 2001

Hi there,
While the Mazdas are a good old bus, there is a problem with the cylinder head and gasket where the head cracks and the water just super steams under pressure and evaporates almost unoticed from the rear exaust pipe. We tried it with my son's and having replaced the thermostat, radiator and one hose, took the head off and there it was across 3 cylinders. Because there was no white smoke, I refused to believe there was anything wrong with the head.
Get a garage to analyse the water in the cooling system, it's a static test and cheap (if not free). That will tell you whether the hydrocarbons from the exhaust gases are mixing with your water, in which case head is cracked.
Failing that, you could have a leaky hose under pressure, so you only get a leak when the system is pressurised. When do you lose the water - all the time? When it gets hot? Can you see escaped water in the engine bay under the bonnet? By all means come back to me if you can narrow it down.
Regards

My mazda mpv 2001 is over heateng

Make sure that you always have enough coolant in your car so that it does not overheat. If it continues to overheat after you have filled your car up the the full line with the coolant, then you might have a leak in the coolant reservoir or a hose that is connecting it to the engine. If all of that fails then there is a problem with your engine and t is a very serious problem that you will have to take to the mechanic.

Where do I find the temparature thermostat for a Mazda MPV 2002 3.0lt

The thermostat is located in the flange where the LOWER radiator hose attaches to the engine. Three bolts secure it to an odd looking plastic pipe assembly.

2002 mazda mpv idle rough codes say lean banks 1&2 plus random multiple misfire

It could be something as small Such as plugged fuel Injectors. Run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner (I use Lucas Fuel Treatment) Through the system and fill your tank with a higher grade gas and it should improve...

Replaceing a radiator in a 2004 mazda tribute

Radiator
Removal & Installation
2002-2004 Ford Escapes should be filled with Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant or equivalent (yellow color). Always fill the cooling system with the same coolant that is present in the system. Do not mix coolant types.
NOTE: Do not add/mix orange-colored Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Mixing coolants can degrade the coolant’s protection.
NOTE: The addition of Motorcraft Cooling System Stop Leak Pellets VC-6 darkens Motorcraft Premium Gold Engine Coolant from yellow to golden tan.
Used engine coolant should be disposed of in an appropriate manner. Follow your community’s regulations and standards for recycling and disposing of automotive fluids.
CAUTION
Never remove the pressure relief cap under any conditions while the engine is operating. Scalding coolant and steam will cause damage to the cooling system, engine and will result in personal injury. Wait until the engine has cooled. The coolant should be recovered in a clean container for reuse. If the coolant is contaminated, it must be recycled or disposed of correctly. Note that only about 80% of coolant capacity is recovered with the engine in the vehicle. Dirty, rusted or contaminated coolant requires replacement.

To Remove:
  1. With the engine and cooling system cold (ambient temperature), release the pressure in the cooling system by slowly turning the pressure relief cap one half turn counterclockwise. When the pressure is released, remove the pressure relief cap. Drain the cooling system. Both the 2.0L Zetec and 3.0L (4V) engines have drains at the bottom of the radiators.
  2. Raise and safely support the vehicle.
  3. Remove the lower splash shields.
  4. If equipped with a 2.0L Zetec engine, disconnect the lower radiator hose and the degas bottle return hose.
  5. If equipped with a 3.0L (4V) engine, disconnect the lower radiator hose, the high pressure transmission line (hose) and the degas return hose.
  6. Remove the lower center support bolt.
  7. Lower the vehicle.
  8. If equipped with a 2.0L Zetec engine, disconnect the remaining coolant hose connections.
  9. If equipped with a 3.0L (4V) engine, disconnect the transmission return line and the upper radiator hose and degas supply hose.
  10. On all vehicles, remove the fasteners and position the hood latch out of the way, then unbolt the center support. Remove the top two bolts holding the cooling fan to the radiator.
  11. Remove the upper radiator support brackets and remove the radiator from the vehicle.

Leaking coolant

Check the hoses connections if no help it is water pump/water pump gasket.
You can try radiator stop leak additives, but most likely you will need to replace the gasket and water pump as it will need to be replaced any way in a future.
Hope that helps
Good Luck

REPAIR MANUAL NEEDED!!!!

The 2002, 2003 and 2004 Mazda MPV's all use the same Ford 6 cyl. 3.0 duratec engine. The Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute of those years use the same engine. Therefore if you need an inexpensive engine repair manuel for your 2002 MPV, get the Haynes ($20.00) 2001-2007 Escape/Tribute manuel. Mazda sells the a MPV shop manuel for $180.00. I also own a 2002 Mazda MPV LX. 75k miles.
