    323 south africa

    Hi

    I have a 2003, MAZDA 323, 130, B3 engine, built in South Africa.

    Would any one have a workshop/repair manual for this engine in
    particular.

    I see the rest seems to remain the same so I am not sure which manual
    is best suited for this type.

    For whats it's worth, this is my second one like this, bought new and adds up to total of 460 000km's worth of use so far.

    Thanks,

    hey, welcome to the site. if you have a pic of your car we can best determin which US model it is and get you some info on it.

      If I remember it's going to be a BF chassis with a festiva motor.

          They did. I could be wrong.. it might have only carried into the late 90's. The grill in my signature is from a 95 BF wagon.

            small country based companys by the rights to produce axed chassis's from large manufactures, much like ford uses the BG chassis all the way till 02

                      I know almost everything about these can ask me anything haha whats wrong with it??

                      these are BFs but they use BG style suspension, they came out with heaps of different motors

                      they stopped producing them in 2004

                            It was there - page 9. looks like a sawsall special to me
                            sigpic Horsepower is the force that determines at what speed you hit the wall, Torque is the force that determines how far you take the wall with you after you hit it.
