Mazda MPV Parts

The Mazda MPV was first manufactured in 1988 and went through three different generations, all built to fit the needs of their time. No matter which generation you had, though, they were all focused on practicality and innovation. The first generation (LV; 1988-1999) started with a rear-wheel-drive layout, offering engine options like the 2.5L G5 I4 and a 3.0L JE V6, paired with either a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed manual transmission. It was popular in America for its size and optional four-wheel drive. However, the latter caused taxes to be higher for consumers in Japan because of its larger size. The Mazda MPV's second generation (LW; 1999-2006) made a change to front-wheel-drive platforms, ditching the four-wheel-drive in most markets but introducing dual sliding rear doors and a fold-into-floor third-row seat. Engine options have grown now, including the 2.0L FS-DE I4 and the 3.0L AJ V6. For other markets outside of the US, there was also another option, like the 2.3L L3-VE I4, as well as a turbo-diesel I4 and RF MZR units for Australia. This redesign was more focused on a sporty chassis structure compared to older generations. The third generation (LY; 2006-2016), known as the Mazda 8 in some regions, was exclusive to Japan, China, and select Asian and Oceanian markets, featuring a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout with a four-wheel-drive option available in Japan. Engine offerings included a 2.3L L3-VE I4 and its turbocharged variant. As the Mazda MPV continued to make advancements, it became clearer that something great would stem from all these experiments. Throughout its lifespan, it produced over one million units. Despite being discontinued after 2016, the Mazda MPV is still very popular in today's used car market.

The Mazda MPV has its share of problems, and several of them appear in different models that affect reliability and performance. The most common include transmission failures, which happen most often in MPV's 2002 model. At around 79,500 miles, the transmission could stop working while driving. This will require expensive replacements or rebuilds. Engine misfires in the 2003 model can lead to significant catalytic converter damage if not repaired promptly. It could cost about $3,000 to fix it at this stage. Ignition coils fail, which leads to engine misfires and causes the check engine light to come on too. The 2000 MPV model can have cracked exhaust manifolds, noticeable leaks, worse engine performance, and increased emissions that average around $3,000 to fix as well. Other notable issues are cooling fan module failures, which usually happen in 2002-2003 models, causing overheating or inadequate warming up of the engine, and then distributor faults that prevent the vehicle from starting altogether. Regular maintenance is a must, but early diagnostic interventions can also play a major role in the prevention of some of the issues mentioned above. Most solutions would require replacing parts such as transmissions, catalytic converters, ignition coil packs, exhaust manifolds, cooling fan modules, or distributors for your Mazda MPV.
