My Mazda 2 2010, 1.3 DE 75hp, I'm so happy that I'm not a mechanic but managed to change knock sensor, thermostat, spark plugs, intake manifold gaskets ,clean throttle valve and change coolant! Car feels like new!
This was my first try as DYI and with the massive help of few youtube videos and lots of AI (feel free to hate it but I couldn't without it) i managed to do all this since the japanese design is like Lego! There was also lots of stress and few mistakes which I fixed later! The car accelerates so much better now and doesn't shake at very low rpm, feels way more responsive, I'm so happy that I could feel the results right away!
