Mazda B-Series (B2200/B2500)

[Joseeduardo]

sir, kung taga dito ka sa qc, meron akong shop na pinapagawan along congressional ave. sila yung nagsabi sakin na ingatan ko daw na huwag masira ang heater plug kasi daw mahal at mahirap hanapin. meron daw nagpagawa sa kanila ng ganon, parang 1500 ata ang isa tapos 4 yun. i dont know where they found it coz that shop is like casa, just bring your car there and they will do everything but the difference is you can watch them while repairing your car and they could give you advises as well.

good thing that i havent experience replacing that for the 10 years of ownership but i noticed that sometimes it's kinda long but it goes out.

about your tachometer, that also happened to me and i saw the repair guy connecting something on the side of the engine block (driver side). try checking it, maybe it's not connected.

If you suspect that you have a faulty timer, then it is possible that it is left in "open position". In that case, the other relay won't run since it is still waiting for the signal coming from the timer. I suggest you ask the help of an electrician.

It could be possible that the said timer is responsible for actuating electrical signal to your fuel pump and if it's faulty, then that means no fuel delivery.

Speaking of which, is the fuel pump in good condition? One experience I had which you could check also is the fuel filter. It was choked the whole time. When I asked the repairman to remove the fuel tank, we found out that the tank is full of dirt which is the culprit of a frequently clogged fuel filter.

Let's wait for the opinions of our experts here.

Hi! Appreciate the reply. My mechanic did mention the relay, and asked me to have it checked by a electrician. We're considering replacing the fuel pump as well. Already bought one from Toyosco (Pasay).

Also, do you know of any other place that sells mazda oem/replacement parts?

Thank you!

Dear Ince420:

To test the resistance of the glow plug/s place one lead on the tip (where the electrical supply is attached to on top) and the other on the plug body.

The circuit for the glow plug is simple, its a purely resistive load. There is a single long metal rail (made of copper) which bolts onto all of the plugs on top - and is held in place by shiny little nuts, 7 mm or 8 mm in diameter.

The nuts attach to a fine threaded post out of the top of the glow plug (like that of a spark plug if you remove the cap nut).

The plug is grounded by threads on its metal body to the cylinder head/engine assembly which is grounded to the battery's negative terminal.

When you turn the ignition switch ON, you trigger the glow plug relay and the plug timer, which controls how long the system glows, too short, not enough heat - no START.

Too long - burned out plugs.

Note: the opposite tip is the glowing part itself, its round and smooth and covers a resistor element which does the heating.

If you test with the VOM this it should show that it is open (very high or infinite resistance) to the plug body and low resistance with the threaded lead on top.

Hope this clears things up.

BTW Shorthorn is the road coming from Congressional Avenue, going towards Project 8. The best way to get to Gener's calibration shop (DRT - Del Rosario Trading) is to go to Congressional Ave, then turn into Shorthorn.

Once you get to Congressional, anybody from there will know where Shorthorn is, and from there just drive straight up past the stoplight and McDo and Seven-Eleven and from there you should be able to find Gener's shop.

Best Regards,

Dear reyp3k:

Welcome to our thread.

Where is the plastic cover you mentioned? Saan parte sya ng makina? Half-moon seals are generally available with the overhauling gasket kit. Wala ba sya sa kit ng binili nyo?

In any case any good Mazda/Ford parts supplier here in Manila (di ko alam sa Bataan) should be able to provide it.

If you need an emergency fix, get any other half-moon seal that fits and use a lot of silicone sealant around it and on the cleaned, dry cylinder head and cover. That should reduce most of the leak.

Tapos kapag nakabili ka na ng tamang seal duon mo na ayusin ng final.

As to the headlights, sira na ba sila? Or is it just a bulb problem? Kung di pa naman sira, eh madali lang yan, bumila ka ng okey na bumbilya.

I recommend Bosch replacement bulbs. They are reasonably priced (<1000 Php a pair) and the new models, use only 55W/60W for low/high beam pero ang ilaw is equal to 90W/100W - ok di ba?

Best Regards,

Guys, I start to hear this sound and I don't know how to mimic it but the sound is like a flexible about to wear out. If you have already heard a worn out flexible, you know what I am talking about. I tried to have it checked it Mufflerland and they said the sound is coming from the engine and not from the flexi. I brought it to my trusted shop, and my mechanic told me, I forgot the name of that part but if my mind serves me correctly, he said something about injection??? I couldn't remember it anymore. He said that it will not stall the vehicle but time will come that I will hear it for a longer period of time and the it will be more audible. For now, I only hear that for about 30 to 45 seconds upon starting and everytime I start the vehicle. Maybe you have encountered this and you could share your insights. For its running condition, it's still the same. I don't feel anything unusual considering it has clocked almost 211k kms. Thanks!

Hello I'm a newbie, I have this 2nd hand Mazda B220 also and i found this thread very informative and interesting. I have 1 question though, I am planning to replace all the seats inside including the front seats. Luma na kze yung upuan at palitin na din. Saan ba ako makakabili ng magandang seats nun, new or 2nd hand are ok. Gusto ko sana yung upuan na mejo na naibaba yung sandalan, feeling ko kze ndi ako komportable sa seats hindi kasi naihihiga kng gusto mo magpahinga ng khit sandali. Diretsong diretso at hindi man lang maibaba yung mga sandalan backward. Dami ko na pinuntahan pero wala ako makita, puro wala at hindi daw alam kng saan meron nun. Sana matulungan nyo ako... TIA!

First let me be the first to welcome all our new members to our humble little thread. WELCOME.... may we be of help to you.

Second I wish one and all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Tungkol sa EB, mukha nga mas maganda kung end of January na sya... busy talaga sked ko this holiday season. Please inform me of the date and place.

to dishwalla - well medyo modelo yung BT-50 mo, but we will try to assist if we can.

to binder-clips - my B2500 came stock with a tach (on the left of the speedometer) and NO it does NOT say Mitsubishi on it. The sensor seems to be attached somewhere near the flywheel - but I will check again and get back to you on that.

as to the cooling fan - talagang free-wheeling sya kapag kulang na ng Silicone Oil. Dismantle it, clean it and refill with silicone oil and your good to go for another 5 years.

the door-handle - wala tayo magagawa talagang magiikot ka sa Banawe para maghanap. AFAIK you can use the one on the B2200.

as to the ride height, it is easily adjustable on the front by setting of the torsion bars - but your wheel alignment will change. Sa likod, bawasan mo lang ng spacers na ginamit pang lift.

Best Regards,

Dusky Lim

hi! you can look for a b-series gauge in banawe. it's better looking if there's a tachometer - plus of course its function.

clutch fan? duskylim's right. you have to have that overhauled i.e. remove, clean, and replace the silicon oil.

door handle? if you want original brand new door handles, go to FMC at diego cerra st. pulang lupa las pinas city. i buy hard to find parts there. all for the b-series trucks.

lowering the b-series? get more information at www.minitruckinweb.com.

duskylim says he's only available end of january. reply with your preferred date, time, and venue guys. see y'all soon!

[azzkkr2600]

Kindly post pics of your B-series here in our forum. Thanks!

hi;,,

to azzkkr2600 and duskylim;

thanks sa advise...its a great help..

Dear Sirs:

Lately my B2500 suddenly got hard starting, I know this symptom from before, problem with the glow plugs.

So without thinking, punta ako Binondo where there is a large supplier (Isuzu Parts of Benavidez St.) of Kitahara glow plugs (my preferred brand) and who claims to be the importer.

The original specs call for a PZ-30 series glow plug pero na-ubusan na sila. So I settled on a set of PZ-35 plugs. The salesman signed the boxes and off I went to install them.

Next day, ganun pa din, hard starting pa din, even with the new plugs. So I checked the entire glow system. Turned out that the glow relay had burned out.

Bumili ako so Ford Master sa Banawe ng replacement for a KIA van, salpak naman and even the terminals match the B2500.

Kinabit ko yung bagong relay and tried it out, lo and behold - hard starting pa din!

I checked the terminals and they had burned out - so I replaced the wiring and terminals (which are a large type and difficult to find - I bought them at the outrageous price of Php 20 each at Wizzard).

After I had done all that, medyo suko na din ako and I prepared to bring the thing to an old electrician friend of mine in Cubao - called West Crame Auto Electrical (look for Mang Jessie).

Just before I left I resolved to by-pass all the wiring and clamped the positive supply of my battery charger to the positive rail nut of the glow plugs and the negative supply to the closest bolt head on the cylinder head - di dapat uminit na yung mga bagong glow plugs - BUT to my surprise - NOTHING HAPPENED!!!

I dismantled the so-called "NEW" glow plugs and what do you know - PATAY LAHAT!!!

I installed the old glow plugs (Kitahara 12 volt PZ-30's from Fordmaster) and the damn thing fired up in 5 seconds flat.

It turns out the glow plugs were fine, only the relay and the terminals were bad, the malfunctioning "NEW" plugs had fooled me all along.

After all that, I took the useless "NEW" glow plugs back to Isuzu Parts (from Fairview to Binondo pa) and asked for replacement or refund. They made me wait an hour and then told me that the owner was in a meeting so I went to have lunch.

After lunch I went back to Isuzu Parts and the owner told me that the store policy is No Return, No Exchange for electrical parts - kahit dalhin mo pa ito sa Bureau of Trade and Industry!!!

He even got insulting and patronizing after that. I will not repeat what he said but suffice to say he has very poor customer relations.

He said he has this shop run by a Japanese engineer in A. Bonifacio and I had to have my vehicle inspected by him to see what happened.

If the Japanese did not find anything wrong he would even charge me a service and an inspection fee.

He made me a fan of the death penalty that day, and fulfilled every bad cliche of the abusive Chinese merchant - and I'm Chinese!!!

This person is one of the worst people I have ever met - I am telling this story so that you do not suffer like I did.

This was not a very happy new year for me.

Sincerely,

Dusky Lim

PS - sa EB I will bring samples of my diesel fuel addy for trials and some for sale.
