thanks to malaysia government for ignoring the conditions of the road. banyak lubang sini, lubang sana ...
my rim almost dented as well last saturday ....... phew .. just getting the car for around 2 weeks ..
At the time, tot won't be a problem to cross that hole... mana tau "bang bang.." 2 sounds ..
left front and left rear rim ....
asked Foreman, but can't get a satisfy answer ....
any opinion??

tat is normal at malaysia sloppy roads lo..pay road tax they use the money to paste their house instead of paste the holes..i oso kena few times with loud sound oso, but so far did not notice any problems, only 1 of the time 1 of the tire blotted and no choice, chg new 1. as long as alignment ok and u feel nthg wrong, shld b no problem..

My friend also own an M2 changed all tyres after abt 1 month. He said the original tyres are quite easy to crack. One of his happened so & therefore he changed to Continental. Price almost same with Dunlop, but i didnt ask whether it's 195/45 or 205/45.

Myself also ran thru potholes few times (yes, thanks to our lovely gov creating those holes for better economy.....force us repair car ) lucky the car stays intact. But plastic sound here & there inside cockpit......annoying

How's the Continental Performance ? nice mou?

yea lo .. our "lovely" government, find every each of the way to sxxk the money from us..

Btw, something here to share, my finding -not sure it happen to all of your case or not.
FYI, When driving through the Rough Surface, got annoying plastic sound coming from drawer side, just like something loosen inside. I found there is piece of plastic being islanded, and there where the sound come from. My solution is, i use a piece of rack(or you may use sponge) to fill up the space between the islanded plastic and the body, and the sound gone.

Suggestion from Foreman, to avoid rubbing sound of the plasticy car body with the door panel's rubber. Always use some leather cleaner to clean up the rubber (i think too add up moist la, just like our skin )
clean your dashboard with the same cleaner too, avoid from using the cleanser on the meter part.

Added on December 8, 2010, 1:02 pminfo from the Foreman, our malaysia M2 chasis/ engine area .. don't have protection, meaning when crashing, high chance that your chasis will spoil ...
so? drive with care .....

Btw, M2 doesn't have to service at 3k mileage right ?

This post has been edited by jack81ker: Dec 8 2010, 05:54 PM

nope, it's every 10k if your using fully synthetic oil.

Under Bermaz 3 years free service, they give us Shell semi-synthetic oil but also maintain that 10k service interval. When i question the SC personnel on this he pointed me to the big Shell poster that claim their semi-synthetic can last for 10k. But then again, SC always recommend paying customer to use fully synthetic in order to last 10k.

Anyone have idea whether power retractable side mirror for M2 is available in Malaysia? How much roughly it costs? Would installing it void the warranty?

May check out with new GS accessories (mazda authorize accessories panel)
i think if u may get the retractable part yourself, may request new GS Accessories to avoid warranty void




Magpies9, yea .. shall we lodge a complain to mazda due to the Shell semi-synthetic oil for the car service???
Yes, it's free service.. but they seems not giving it willingly ...
very disappointed on what they done
as i know semi-synthetic can last for 5k..
the 10k things is bullshit ...

me too. i was wtf with semi syn. Plan to buy my own shell n use it

buy your own shell and bring it to them ?
i think they are willingly to see people doing so ...
-__- shall we the owner voice up somethings?

u mean the rim will crack when u bump into hole ?

You should make a formal complain, as they should be giving you the same Shell Helix Ultra fully synthetic oil like the rest of us who don't have 3 years free service, I only get 3 labour free services and had to pay for oils and parts.

Which oil are the SC providing for 3 years free service?

I also have to pay for the oil & part, i only get free labour for servicing. I use fully synthetic oil.
Has anyone aldy change the air filter? How is it (K&N?) ? If i do it not in bulk but individually would it very costly?

yea, previous post from this page -> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1421239/+700

My rim dented sent to tire shop and repair... Look like its usual form now...Just that the tire need to chg... If u do in Sunway or any direct Rim Technician is will cost u around RM30... Mine I paid for RM65 as I went through another tire shop... Becareful with the pod holes as the M2 tires are very thin & can't protect ur rim when u go "Bang"!

thx for the info ..

from my knowlege .. sport rim wont be crack so easily lo ... either is the rim quality no good or very very high impact ...

that's why i wonder why the rim crack easily .. so my doubt is .. is it the quality problem ?
coz seems like quite much of things been taken off from the car previously, to lower the price of the car. could it be the same case ?
just my guess
