    Adjust them to max setting and adjust to what suit your ears.. i like the bass at 5 and treble at 6.. also check the ALC setting.. its the automatic sound level adjustment depending on cabin noise.. maybe you need to turn that off

    Here's why dampers are added to automatic spring tensioners for long serpentine belts....

    Set this off inside the cabin this morning. It now smells like powdery disinfectant. We'll see if the wife agrees with it when she does the shuttle route tomorrow. She does have a handy can of Lysol in one of rhe cupholders so I think it will be fine.

    The position of the tensioner is bad.. on the long side of the belt will really cause vibration thus a need for damper.. but for the engine with tight turns on the belt path a spring loaded tensioner will be good..

    Well it smells clean and disinfected so I'm all right with it. I just hope it doesn't turn sour when parked under the sun tomorrow.

    Mazda could've opted for both belts to be StretchFit instead of just the AC drive & free the Skyactivs of that tensioner assembly. Instead, they not only opted for a spring tensioner, but 1 w/ a damper to further bring down drive vibrations....something very common in premiums, even Toyotas.
    Spring tensioners, like the dampered ones, are wear items, too. Both will loose tension over time. The former just won't show....won't leak. Personally, I wished they went Stretch belts...save them & us 1 part's cost & maintenance....like Subaru & Ford.

    My wife picks up and drops off some of her staff. It's additional peace of mind for her.

    I was able to have my hands on a 14mm deep socket and pull out the sparkplugs to check. Still good after over 4 years though low mileage.

    I was expecting an NGK but it's Denso for Mazda: ZC20HPR11 PE5S-18-110 - one pic beside a 16mm NGK BKR5E-11 I use for the other car.
