my personal opinion ... (that wont really affected the warranty)

important
1) Tinted (better put in security tint nowaday)
2) ultra racing bars (strut & anti roll)
3) k&n filter
4) pedal auto lock (if u install at GS)
5) Upsize Rotor

other
6) DRL (if u install at GS)
7) 3rd brake light LED
8) Upsize sport rims
9) door step LED


if u install throttle control .... for sure will void the warranty if they wan argue

First of all, Congratulations on V4! Now i know you guys have already been discussing about tyres.. but the post are hard to find. So dont mind me asking again.

Mine is CKD stock tyres Dunlop 215/45R17. Currently the road noise for this tyre is really unbearable, unless i'm going on a nicely newly paved tar road, the road noise is like a constant vibration to my ears. It is so loud it drowned the sound of my music. I hope someone here understands what i'm trying to say. haha..

I'm thinking of changing a new sets of tyres without compromising the low profile sporty look i'm currently having. Is that possible? Comfort tires are usually thicker making the rims look smaller right? I prefer a tyre that produces less (Much less) road noise but still look sporty. help me out guys. Sorry bros for asking such noob questions. Highly appreciated anyone that can shed some light for me.

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Need a recommendation for Car paint shop. My 6 months old Mazda 3 2.0 (silver) was knocked by a motorbike, denting the rear door and back panel, with some deep scratches. Wasnt able to identify the MB ( who was clearly in the wrong, anyways he sped off vmad.gif ). Went to dent repairs (www.dent.com.my) @ Puchong, was told the dent is irreparable with their tools and was advised to go paint shop to get it done. Here are my questions:

1) Should I bring back to Mazda SC for body repair + paint job, or just go to a regular car paint shop to get it done?
2) Need recommendation for car paint shop - good price with good handiwork
3) Will this void my warranty if I were to bring it to a non authorised paint shop?

Thanks to all sifus who are willing to help.... icon_question.gif

cheers

Got mine slightly dented like yours at the back, probably by irresponsible ppl at the car park denting it with their opening of car door. i was devastated and look for solutions online. hair dryer, dry ice bla bla bla... doesnt work.

I can roughly tell u the price for re-painting. Earlier this year, i got my car and drove it for about 2 months and i took it to G'Zox auto detailing at sunway for a good waxing and shining.. When i went to collect my car.. i found piece of paint chipped off next to my headlamp area.. i stood there in shock and went to ask what happened, i can see it from a few meters away and the guy denied it saying it was like that since i came. A few more checks around the car and i found massive paint chip off at the right side back door handle (obviously from their waxing machine), the manager called up the paint shop behind and asked for a price quotation.

Just the front, about the size of a 5 cents coin.. he quoted RM200.. i dunno if it was abit ridiculous for that price or it was standard but i just didnt care cause G'Zox covered it.

Anyway.. for your info.. I heard from professional.. after u repaint your car or repaint any small part of your car.. you have to re-wax your car to remove the paint or chemical residue.

If anybody knows a good price for fixing problems like ours. Please. do share. thank you smile.gif

Sigh, after few months driving my M3, i start to hear the rattling sound many people complained about. The rattling sound come from the back. I haven't got the chance to investigate it. I suspect it's some windscreen problem mentioned by a fellow M3 owner in the V3 thread. It started off with mild rattling but now it got worse and quite frequent. It's not loud but pretty annoying to my ears.

Anyone here experienced the same issue and got it fixed? Just wan to know apart from the windscreen thing, what are the other possible causes..

Sent my car to Glenmarie service center twice to fix the rattling noise at the right side, seat belt compartment area.. when going on bumpy road, there will be a "tik tik tik" sound coming from inside. Checked before, not the placement of the seatbelt buckle. Anyway.. sent in once, they said they placed sponge inside, still there sound was there, only lesser. Brought in second time.. they said they fixed it.. yet.. the sound is still there. But i consider myself very lucky cause 10 months driving it.. there's the only area with rattling noise.

One more thing.. they rotated my tires front to back and now making noise above 80 to 90km/h and above. Something like a constant high pitch "wooooooo". Took it back to service center.. they say nothing can be done.. tires needed to change.. but its only 10 months.. is this normal?

Hi all
I would like to ask for some help, does anyone here knows a good salesperson for me to trade in my car(s) and get a new Mazda 3? I have shortlisted a few cars, and Mazda 3 is one of the cars I am looking to purchase.
Got a few questions for those who have their cars already :
- any major/minor problems with the car?
- after sales service issues?
- should I get the 2.0L or the 1.6L model? Are there vast differences between both the cars?

Thanks a lot!

Not sure whether changing tires within 10 months is normal or not. I did change all 4 tires in less than 10 months time... Around 25k mileage that time. I noticed that there were 2 of my stock Dunlop tires already slightly bengkak, "pregnant"... better be safe than sorry....

What's ur mileage bro? Speed a lot?

Not sure whether changing tires within 10 months is normal or not. I did change all 4 tires in less than 10 months time... Around 25k mileage that time. I noticed that there were 2 of my stock Dunlop tires already slightly bengkak, "pregnant"... better be safe than sorry....

What's ur mileage bro? Speed a lot?
*
Mileage = 22K
Speed = 80 to 120km on an average
Tires = Dunlop 215/45/R17

Front tires Corner rings botak and one side pregnant too. SC told me tire bengkak cannot claim. need to change for safety reasons. What tires did you change to? Cause the current one giving hell lots of road noise. It is unbearable..

Hi all
I would like to ask for some help, does anyone here knows a good salesperson for me to trade in my car(s) and get a new Mazda 3? I have shortlisted a few cars, and Mazda 3 is one of the cars I am looking to purchase.
Got a few questions for those who have their cars already :
- any major/minor problems with the car?
- after sales service issues?
- should I get the 2.0L or the 1.6L model? Are there vast differences between both the cars?

Thanks a lot!

Is it possible? I thought the auxiliary cable only act as transferring audio and does not read data. One easier way is to get an FM transmitter or an mp3 for your auxiliary cable. Apple's mp3 produce the clearest and best quality.

I got my last batch of CBU M3 early last year. Graphite mica. Clocked 36k mileage now. FC 9.2L/100 km according to the monitor. No rattling sounds, no tire sounds, am very happy about the car. Only downside is the NVH which is not so brilliant. Loved the looks, enjoyed the ride. How's the CKD batch?

I just got my 1.6 a couple of months back. One way to Singapore used only 1/2 tank, which I thought was pretty good. I got mine from Avant motor (heard some bad news about the place, but my dealing was ok). RM2k discount, crystal plates, full tank, and reverse camera. They also offered free leather seats upgrade (apparently it's not the same as the RM2.5K upgrade option that shown in the price list, must be a cheap-o alternative).

What headunit are you having in ur ride? If its Caska u should have an iPod cable and USB cable installed right?
If its the oem headunit, I think I have seen ppl selling USB in cable which connects to the back of your headunit.

Photo below is how my iPod n USB cable looks like (caska headunit), hope this helps.
Not too sure about the USB-female 3.5 works and the sound quality of it.

The AUX input is an audio input and I don't think there is a device today that can allow the reading of USB sticks. I connect my iPod using the AUX input to listen to my music. There is a good seller on lowyat who sold me a new AUX cable that makes my music sound super clear. If you need this contact, let me know and I will PM you.

Added on November 6, 2012, 9:32 amHi all...

I have a few minor issues with my M3 2.0 SDN which I think is rather weird...

1) The annoying knocking sound that is coming from the back... has anyone figured it out if it is the (a)windscreen (b)seat/seatbelt and/or © rear headrest?

2) The auto-headlamp... For some reason my lamp is on in the morning at 8am when the sun is shining bright... and sometimes when the weather is a bit cloudy and about to rain, it does NOT come on... I am going crazy trying to figure it out that nowadays I have to manual turn on the light if I need it. After 6-7pm no issues as the sensor can pick up that it is getting dark. Does anyone know what could be the issue or if you have consulted a service centre and foudn out the problem?

Thanks in advance to all... and congratz on v4...

Anyone of you guys have bent rims and fixed them? It's weird that every time when I send my car for alignment and balancing, the technician will tell me that some of my rims are bent and need to be repaired. I'm using stock 17" CKD rims by the way.

1st time alignment and balancing- one rim was bent.

2nd time- another one rim was bent

3rd time, yesterday- technician told me all four rims are bent shocking.gif

It cost around RM70-90 to fix one rim depending on how badly the rim is bent.

Seeking advice with the technician, he told me that the CKD 17" rims are JRD brand, which is made in Malaysia. It's more fragile and tends to bend easily even with hitting small pot holes hmm.gif

Another reason for the tendency to bend is the lower profile tires. The tires are too thin to provide protection to the rims. In return, I asked, if 45 profile is thin then how about BMWs who mostly use tires with even lower profiles like 35? The technician then answered me: "Yes, they memang bend a lot... but BMW owners are rich." WTF sweat.gif

Am considering changing to 18" rims but the technician warned me despite the rims are tougher compared to stock 17" JRD rims, there are still high chances that the rims will get bend rolleyes.gif In fact, he said most customers that went for alignment and balancing in his shop will have bent rims that need to be repaired.... I am starting to think that opening a rims and tires shop is a good business tongue.gif

My question here is, any members here have the same experience as me? Send your car for alignment and balancing and you are informed that you need to fix the bent rims EVERY TIME? Just want to know whether this is a normal thing or is it just me with bad driving skills and love for pot holes

Seeking advice with the technician, he told me that the CKD 17" rims are JRD brand, which is made in Malaysia. It's more fragile and tends to bend easily even with hitting small pot holes hmm.gif

Another reason for the tendency to bend is the lower profile tyres. The tires are too thin to provide protection to the rims. In return, I asked, if 45 profile is thin then how about BMWs who mostly use tires with even lower profiles like 35? The technician then answered me: "Yes, they memang bend a lot... but BMW owners are rich." WTF sweat.gif

Am considering changing to 18" rims but the technician warned me despite the rims are tougher compared to stock 17" JRD rims, there are still high chances that the rims will get bend  rolleyes.gif In fact, he said most customers that went for alignment and balancing in his shop will have bent rims that need to be repaired.... I am starting to think that opening a rims and tires shop is a good business tongue.gif

My question here is, any members here have the same experience as me? Send your car for alignment and balancing and you are informed that you need to fix the bend rims EVERY TIME? Just want to know whether this is a normal thing or is it just me with bad driving skills and love for pot holes
sad.gif
*
oh no, I have not do any alignment nor balancing for my car for 2 months. Better send my car for alignment and balancing check tomorrow blink.gif

Latest member for Mazda 3 1.6 Arctic White reporting in!! thumbup.gif
Received my car about 2 weeks ago..
Although some people commented the 1.6 might be underpowered, for me it's more than enough..plus the handling and braking was superb!!
Never regret changing to this car..hehehe..
except today someone in my office slightly hit the rear of my car at parking..thank god it just a scratch but still the line of black mark quite obvious... cry.gif
furthermore, dunno who the driver was...

my theory is buy second hand car go for nissan, mazda or any other europe car. Cz cheap in second hand value but quality better , just maintainence might be higher abit compare to toyota n honda.

if buy new car and consent on second value thn buy toyota n honda. can sell higher

but for me i nvr care la, i more to driving experience so i bought new mazda hehe

I actually bought my car from Taman Megah, the service for me was pretty good I have to say (got it from the salesguy name Alvin). No issues. I initially ordered from Bermaz near Avon at Federal Highway. All they offered was free smart tag, full petrol and crystal number plate. Then I thought I would check out the Taman Megah branch for the heck of it, they offered me RM2k discount, free leather seats, free reverse camera, full petrol and crystal plates. Unfortunately Bermaz itself, their offers seem to be pretty sucky.

But apparently the additional two years extended warranty is not under bermaz but rather is buying insurance from third party. i personally think that i would rather they offer me additional cash discount

the big difference ( i think anyway) is that Bermaz offers insurance under Berjaya Sompo, if anything happens to your car in the first year (stolen, write off) they will reimburse you in full (1 for 1), but Advant Speed only offer Allianz, i dont think it's a 1 for 1 like Bermaz with Berjaya Sompo

the big difference ( i think anyway) is that Bermaz offers insurance under Berjaya Sompo, if anything happens to your car in the first year (stolen, write off) they will reimburse you in full (1 for 1), but Advant Speed only offer Allianz, i dont think it's a 1 for 1 like Bermaz with Berjaya Sompo

ya.... better follow berjaya sompo ..... and u must renew via mazda reseller... not by yourself... else it will void ...

I'm not sure if it's more reliable, but they offer 1 for 1, so if anything happens to you car (write off , stolen etc) they will reimburse you the entire value. I'm not sure if it's only for the first year or 1st two years. Other insurance you won't get the full reimbursement. Anyway, I am switching back to my previous insurance company after the 1st year.

It's first two years.
Can continue the same insurance company after this but need to pay extra in order to get the value guarantee of 1 to 1.

Perhaps its more of a timing issue? Buying a car at year end without steep discount doesn't seem to justify the purchase.

May I know where your knock knock sound is coming from?

Is it from the rear? Are yours Sedan or HB? CBU or CKD? Mine is a CKD H/B, had some knock knock sound at the read when going over uneven road at about 10 - 20 km/h. Went to the SC to make a request to check. They reapply some sealant at the back and the now the sound is gone.

My advise is during your next service, lodge a report with them since your car is under 3 years warranty, they are liable to fix it if there is a problem.

Recently i went to check out the Mazda3 facelift. Very very good offer compared to last year i bought mine. even sedan 1.6 comes with a touch screen. The touch screen was very clear and bright. barely pixelated and the touch were quite responsive. But a few things i've noticed, the interior fittings were not as firm and tight as our batch. Maybe its just my opinion or that showroom car problem.

The glove compartment couldn't open softly, as i need to jerk down abit to open entirely. Soft padding at the sides of the door produces squeaky sound my elbow were placed on it and why did Mazda remove the silver panel around the shift stick area? sad.gif The fabric seat material became something like what Toyota or Honda would give and not the good quality ones that was in the mazda 3.

Oh, i've been told by the SA that we are able to make bookings for Mazda6 already and the car should be arriving on January or so. Roadshows gonna be held this month they said. Isnt it exciting. XD

All petrol brands are good. no different, if got different its mean its your own psychological influenced by marketing ads by those petrol brand... after all its depends on your driving style and average road condition...

i work at petronas, but using shell... why??? because of bonuslink, more option for me to get points at a numbers of affiliates merchant...

diff between each petrol... just additives... u mentioned using shell/caltex clocked 10l/100km, but the rest 11+/100km, u see that, for every 100km u just save RM1.90... which each fill up of total 400km range, its equal of save around RM7+... not much different... so why bother?

just my thought...

want to know how I achieve 8.7L/100km?
1. fill up in early morning (less petrol evaporate)
2. really lightfooted
3. choose road with less traffic/stops/bumps/potholes
4. autocruise (for 2.0 like mine)
5. maintain speed around 60-80km/h (tachometer in between 1k-1.9k)
6. wheel balancing/alignment on regular basis
7. correct tyre pressure (i apply as per OEM advised only)
8. maintain constant not so low air cond... 24degC woud be nice and cozy but not so much consume petrol...
9. maintain regular service interval

else not so much I do, all stock and decent... for sure fc will improve...

All petrol brands are good. no different, if got different its mean its your own psychological influenced by marketing ads by those petrol brand... after all its depends on your driving style and average road condition...

i work at petronas, but using shell... why??? because of bonuslink, more option for me to get points at a numbers of affiliates merchant...

diff between each petrol... just additives... u mentioned using shell/caltex clocked 10l/100km, but the rest 11+/100km, u see that, for every 100km u just save RM1.90... which each fill up of total 400km range, its equal of save around RM7+... not much different... so why bother?

just my thought...

want to know how I achieve 8.7L/100km?
1. fill up in early morning (less petrol evaporate)
2. really lightfooted
3. choose road with less traffic/stops/bumps/potholes
4. autocruise (for 2.0 like mine)
5. maintain speed around 60-80km/h (tachometer in between 1k-1.9k)
6. wheel balancing/alignment on regular basis
7. correct tyre pressure (i apply as per OEM advised only)
8. maintain constant not so low air cond... 24degC woud be nice and cozy but not so much consume petrol...
9. maintain regular service interval

else not so much I do, all stock and decent... for sure fc will improve...

No offence, but if I wanna drive this way, I might as well get a Toyota.. No more zoom zoom feel.
I drive quick, corners without much braking, zoom up genting roads.. Then get the cool feel of awesome handling.
And I clock 9.2l/100km

Pretty good fc u got over there bro, and urs also true... no zoom zoom feel if drive that way and the 1 I shared if we too concern over our current m3 fc. I tried that and its work but down with the feel. Now no more, just fill up and drive the way I like, below are my last 5 petrol fill up record. I would be worried if the average fc go beyond 12l/100km

Date Mileage(KM) Liter L/100km price/L
04/12/2012 380.9 38.34 10.1 1.900
14/11/2012 421.0 39.55 9.4 1.900
08/10/2012 374.0 37.84 10.1 1.900
01/10/2012 796.0 80.95 10.2 1.900
06/09/2012 679.9 56.42 8.3 1.900

my point is, there is hardly any significant different in petrol brand & its effect on fc when RON number is same.

balancing is compulsory, every 10k is minimum, but frequent hiting potholes/uneven road, 5k is minimum I believe (i did that coz u know how sarawak road is right). unbalance tyre tend to make it wobble hence higher vibration leads to noise + unstable steering control...

now still using stock tyre (dunlop).. wait till the bunga gone baru change to those GY A2.... thumbup.gif

That would be the best procedure so we can actually double check all parts are available before you actually send your car in to minimize waiting time. However, you can also send your car in anytime at the moment, since we're still new and volume is low.

May I know what mileage are you sending in for service?

Grats on your Mazda3, first service is reasonably fast, around 30-45min max if there's no problems with your car. We have parts in stock, so you can actually come anytime you want.

Bro Lucifal,

My ride is 5 months old having few troubles and hope you can sort it out for me,

Front windscreen:
I'm glad to hear sg besi branch has Tribos application centre, mine is a FL model that comes with coating. Recently i find that the windscreen and windows are giving me a hard time especially in the rain during night drives. Once wiper swipes, it left a blurry mark on the windscreen and will go off like after few seconds. Problem is when there are lights from opposite direction or street light, it will produce a glare on the windscreen and i hardly see the road. I thought it was a wiper problem, problem still exist although i changed the wiper.

Passenger side Speakers:
Last week the tweeter and front speaker has gone no sound at all, can this be fixed at your service center instead of going GS auto.

Hope you can sort these out for me so we can proceed to your service center.
Thanks.

For the front windscreen, I'm suspecting a few issues. Previous wiper has damaged the coating on the windscreen. Your ride is 5months old, I suggest you make an appointment with us so that we can schedule a Tribos specialists to look at your issue before your 6 months warranty for Glass is up. This is a serious case if its causing temporary blindness of the road. If you are free any weekdays next week, I'll personally get the specialists from Tribos UK to come look at your car.

As for the passenger speakers & audio, we would love to fix it, however, the system is warrantied by GS Auto. They will be the best people to go to for the DVD and sound players/speakers. Of course, if you're looking at a change, we can recommend our panels. Nearly all (even Bermaz) SC will refer you back to GS for most of the accessories in your car, hence, its better to go direct to them. However, if you have any problem with GS, please do let me know. We will offer our assistance in whatever way possible to solve it. Remember, when you're buying a Mazda, you're not buying only the car, you're buying the Zoom-Zoom experience.

If there's anything , feel free to ask.

1) try switch on the headlamp and see the drawer got light or not, if no, then need to report to SC

2) the button has 2 level, puch half way it will stop when you stop pushing, but push all the way and lift you finger the window will wind down all its own. same goes for wind up. If not happen that way, report to SC.

3) Report to SC for replacement

Dont be sad, even mercedes also has this kind of problem on some batch or certain unit.... cheer up, the car made by human and human make mistake.... nobody perfect. got problem, try to solve it, and enjoy the ride... peace thumbup.gif

The audio player supports to play random or shuffle songs. Press the channel 3 button. You can see 'RDM' text above the button, which stands for 'RANDOM'.

Here's what we think might be possible,

(1) Possibility of the spark plugs, and chances of the air intake hose area needs to be clean.

(2) This will need a test drive to diagnose the problem.

Hi Lucifal, may I how much does the coating cost?

And how long does it take for my 2nd service? (10k mileage).

I only have one problem which I want to complain. The flickering sound at the rear dashboard area..not sure exactly where, but some of the owners here also experienced it.

2nd service takes around 1hr+. As for your problem, please highlight to our service advisors and they'll attend to it when you send your car for your free service. These things are better to have an actual look at it, cause I really can't diagnose what type of sound.

As for Tribos coating, the costs varies due to the amount of preparation work needed depending on the condition. Basic Tribos costs only RM1,688.00 for body, alloy rims, glass + interior fabric. Normally just Tribos alone takes 2-3 hours, the preparation work takes anytime from 1hr-3hrs.

Hi everyone, have you all encounter why the M3 SD card not support to store the mp3 songs in to the folder.
The player not able to play the song which is in the folder instead of root folder.
This makes the songs very unorganized.
Or did I make any mistake?
Can anyone advice? Thanks.

Just PM'ed you. Usually it takes around 2-3 hours to Tribos a car. However, preparation work like light scratch and watermarks might take up to 2hours depending on car condition.

Some cars that have really bad condition will be recommended to have their body repainted instead.

My advise is to email your problems and pictures to the email inside your warranty card. That will trigger the warranty claim process through their UK HQ. However, this process might take a bit longer due to holidays.

OR

Do make an appointment with us in advance and tell the service advisors who're attending to your call about your Tribos issue (the details) and they will arrange the right Tribos people to be there awaiting for your arrival. Click my signature for our 3S center location & contact.

OMG that's really awful. Please check if your friend have a Tribos warranty card inside his passenger compartment area & a Tribos sticker on the windscreen (most likely taken off if he did a window tint). Kindly also double check with the dealer that your friend took his car from to confirm is it Tribos'ed if you cannot find the warranty card.

If your friend has the warranty card, kindly email your details to the contact stated with your warranty card details. Warranty is valid for 3 years thus you should not have problem claiming if there's something wrong with Tribos coating on your car.

Kindly also make an appointment with our 3S Centre to have your car looked at. We will elevate the warranty process to an express lane.

hi bro lucifal,

i purchased a pack of tribos shampoo and tribos spray from service centre. noticed that there is a layer of gel on the top of the bottle for the tribos spray. that gel could not dissolve after several shake and remain on the bottle.

is that normal? I have checked with the service centre and even other stocks they possess are having the same issue.

Grats on your Mazda3, first service is reasonably fast, around 30-45min max if there's no problems with your car. We have parts in stock, so you can actually come anytime you want.
*
Lucifal... Since you are a authorized Mazda SC, I have 2 questions...

1) Do you or your team know how to fix the annoying knocking sound that comes when you go on uneven road?
2) Can you adjust the headlight sensor so that the headlight is not turned on when the sun is still bright?

Please let me know as I am almost due for 20k service. Also could you please let me know your operations hours. Maybe I can send to your SC for my next service.

just asking fellow White M3 drivers here, what products do you use to wash your car?

My White M3 has greyish/brown stains even after washing. Need to wash then only it comes off. Any advise?
*
i got the low alkaline shampoo and tribos spray from SC. i have many greysi stain especially on the frame next to wind screen. It can be removed by spraying the tribos spray and wipe it away.

I am not sure can we wax our car or not since it tribos coated. perhaps bro lucifal can answer us whether it will damage the tribos coating or not.

As far as I know, waxing is not necessary, and certain wax might damage the tribos coating. I'll need to clarify this with Tribos on what type of wax is harmful and what's not.

Happy New Year !!! As for your problems, we would need to look and test drive your car to be able to diagnose the source of the problem. Your info has already helped us narrow down some potentials.

As for the headlight sensor, its on the center top of the windscreen, and my guess that it will need some calibration. Most likely the settings were set to Low.

Hi lucifal..

I'm having problem with my radio reception, for all the radio station I'm tuning I have background noise, it is just very irritating. It gets worse when I increase sound volume.

Can I get it fix under warranty period? Need to be at main service center which have more comprehensive spare parts?

Hi there, if its a radio thing, its still under warranty and most likely you'll be directed to GS Auto nearby the PJ Service centre. I don't think any SC stock spare parts related to radio or sound system.

Bro,
u mentioned the sensor can be calibrated? are you sure? this so called 'issue' (which is now the older owner like me seem to accept it as norm), SC told us that the sensor is not able to be calibrated, accept it or switch it off... unsure.gif

OMG that's really awful. Please check if your friend have a Tribos warranty card inside his passenger compartment area & a Tribos sticker on the windscreen (most likely taken off if he did a window tint). Kindly also double check with the dealer that your friend took his car from to confirm is it Tribos'ed if you cannot find the warranty card.

If your friend has the warranty card, kindly email your details to the contact stated with your warranty card details. Warranty is valid for 3 years thus you should not have problem claiming if there's something wrong with Tribos coating on your car.

Kindly also make an appointment with our 3S Centre to have your car looked at. We will elevate the warranty process to an express lane.

saw my fren wash his car by water only this morning then i found, yes there's coating. shocking.gif

sorry for the previous assumption due to my insufficient knowledge. the car was too dirty on the other day.

but i wonder if tribos did leather protection anot? cos i dare not to put on my leather condition.

5 years free maintenance and Warranty. I thought the free maintenance and warranty should be the same for all dealer? Is it the additional 2 years warranty and maintenance is cover by your company only, which mean I need to go back to your shop for the additional 2 years? Correct me if I am wrong smile.gif

That i'm unsure of as the instruction by Bermaz only covers Jan & Feb 2013. Maybe they might extend, maybe not.

As for the M3 SKYActive, it is not available until at least 2014. No news so far, might be end 2014 or 2015 instead.

As far as the new Mazda 3, its a Full Model Change, the 3rd SKYActive range after the CX5 & Mazda 6.

As for the 5 + 5, its all Mazda Dealers & Branches. Else there'll be double standards.

There's a switch to off the Auto sensor according to my Service Manager. However, he explained that maybe due to the tinting (too dark) it might affect the sensor to auto-on earlier than usual. As far as I was informed, its not possible to calibrate.

He recommends that you bring in your car to our SC and double confirm & check on your vehicle.

There's a switch to off the Auto sensor according to my Service Manager. However, he explained that maybe due to the tinting (too dark) it might affect the sensor to auto-on earlier than usual. As far as I was informed, its not possible to calibrate.

He recommends that you bring in your car to our SC and double confirm & check on your vehicle.

Thanks, its just confirmed my earlier understanding. Btw the sensor is directly glued on the inner surface of the windscreen, no way we can apply the tinting... The sensor is just 'too' sensitive... In earlier V1.0-V3.0, we already talked in length about it huhuhu... Aiseh, still no hope to make the sensor 'reasonably works'

Bro akasya, ur ride is Pre-Facelift or FL model?

Just to share with you my lil review over the FL light sensor, I've been following V1-V3 before getting the ride and i'm aware of this issue therefore i paid extra attention to it. It's quite accurate in my opinion after having the ride for few months and tested many times on different locations. Example tunnels, below a fly-over, parking lot etc. Even a short distance tunnel like the one near Damansara Perdana traffic light where u wanna make a u-turn if u r coming from The Curve. Those locations i mentioned is tested during late evening when there isn't harsh sunlight, it detected well.

Maybe you can check with SC whether is both model sharing the same sensor or an updated sensor if this borders you, hope this helps.

If you plan to sell off ur m3 within 5 yrs...then better take 2013 because yr of manufacture give you great impact...but if u plan for 7-9 yrs of usage....then 2012 or 2013 doesnt have much difference......but 2012 with 5+5 is the best deal in the market now.... rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

I made the booking on 13 Jan, trade in my 9 yrs old SAGA for 6k, loan 90% which is 112k for 2.44% for 9 yrs tenure. Loan approved on 16 Jan and agreement signed on 17 Jan night. The color that i wanted only left 1 unit, so i have to wait the sales agent to lock and send to their warehouse... The best thing for me is i dont even need to pay 1 cent to get my M3...reason being 112k loan + 6k trade in + 3.5k (free insurance) + 2k (rebate)....all just nice...and i even can get around 1.7k cheque return from the insurance company because of my 55% NCB transfer from my SAGA to the new M3:-)

Nothing much from the sales agent, free full tank and Smart-Tag only....and i also ask him to install the auto pedal door lock and reserve camera for me...of course i have to pay for it.... tongue.gif tongue.gif tongue.gif

Depends on what u want.....if u wanna compare with spec by spec....mazda 3 2.0 is on par with Civic 2.0 Navi....but Mazda is cheaper about 10k....and with 6 airbags.....u do the maths.....civic is bigger in cabin space...but i dont like its outlook personally....and Mazda is famous with its handling and stability in high speed as i need to travel between JB and KL quite often....

So u either pay less for more (mazda) or pay more for less (civic), you make the decision:-)

Anyone has any issue with air-cond not cold enough? Just now felt the test drive car (1.6 sedan) does not feel cold enough even though temp is already set at lowest. Time is around 4pm and environment is quite hot actually. But compared to my vios, vios air cond is much more cold.

Hiya everyone, I got my Mazda 3 1.6 hatchback CKD June last year. It is the model before the current facelift. Just done my 10K service. Here is the problem I noticed with my car:

1. Tick tick tick sound heard randomly from the front passenger side especially on bumpy roads and on slow speed (20-60km/h). Complained to SC. They checked but the problem still persists.

2. Minor noise from the driver's door near the door handle area. Gonna ask them to check in the next service.

3. Noise from the back. I checked myself it was because the 3rd brake light cover is not completely clicked-in. It looked like it is secured but it's not. Need to press very hard until the click sound is heard. After this, the noise is gone. Suspect is the tint shop didn't secure it properly.

4. Front absorber/suspension has the nyek nyek sound when going through the bumper. The last SC said the absorber has leakage. It was under warranty and they changed it for me with no charge. But they didn't give me to sign anything after changing it. The nyek nyek sounds are still there. Going to bring it to anoother SC to check again.

5. The gearbox - sometimes in D mode when changing gear 1 to 2 it has this what sounds like a brisk drumming sound. Gonna send in the SC and ask them to check the gearbox.

My questions are:
Has anyone experienced #5 and what are the solutions if you have fixed it.

For #4, do you guys experience the nyek nyek sound from the front absorber/suspension? Or is it normal?

3. Noise from the back. I checked myself it was because the 3rd brake light cover is not completely clicked-in. It looked like it is secured but it's not. Need to press very hard until the click sound is heard. After this, the noise is gone. Suspect is the tint shop didn't secure it properly.

4. Front absorber/suspension has the nyek nyek sound when going through the bumper. The last SC said the absorber has leakage. It was under warranty and they changed it for me with no charge. But they didn't give me to sign anything after changing it. The nyek nyek sounds are still there. Going to bring it to anoother SC to check again.

5. The gearbox - sometimes in D mode when changing gear 1 to 2 it has this what sounds like a brisk drumming sound. Gonna send in the SC and ask them to check the gearbox.

My questions are:
Has anyone experienced #5 and what are the solutions if you have fixed it.

For #4, do you guys experience the nyek nyek sound from the front absorber/suspension? Or is it normal?

Hi lucifal.. today I booked Mazda 3 1.6 from Serdang showroom (Thrive Glory Sdn Bhd).. and I was too late to see the 5+5 promotion.. so I'm still eligible for the 5+5 even tho its not from prima merdu/bermaz?

By right, the 5+5 promo is available to all. It does not differentiate between dealers or branches. However, please contact the dealer you bought with for confirmation just in case.

Mine is CKD 2012 2.0L

#1 - Tick tick sound from passenger side. I tot it was coming from the Seat belt area. Took to SC many times. still cant fix it. In the end, i found out myself that the rattling sound was coming from the seat belt buckle, where you insert the seat belt into it. When the car is moving, that thing will rattle and hit on the plastic panel at the side. This was my case.

#2 - Happened before. Disappeared after a while.

#4 - No nyek nyek sound happened before. Get the sc to sit in the car with you. sometimes they just take the car in and you have no idea what they are doing behind.

#5 - I am experiencing this. When accelerate from slow speed, there will be some minor tin dragging sound, or as you said it, brisk drumming sound. for about 1 second plus. I've mentioned this to the sc before. nothing fixed or found out. My suggestion, get the sc to sit in with you in the car and let them hear it.

My experience with Bermaz Service was terrible throughout my whole year of driving the car. I have no idea why their knowledge were not sufficient to rectify even the simplest problem. There was one time I took my car for servicing due to "BURNT SMELL" coming out from the aircon when i accelerate medium hard and some rattling noise problem. Took it to sc with appointment made at 9am, gave me back my car at 12.30pm told me to go back and come again next time as there were too many cars and could not fix my car in time.

Went back for another appointment and they gave me another car to drive while they fix the "BURNT SMELL" problem for 2 days. Took my car back, the problem still persisted.

I have done far too many complaints with Bermaz, and they show no care or concern over their name sake. I am tired of their services already.

The Mazda 6 is launching soon, with mouth-watering specs and are so irresistible. My bro's gonna get his next car soon and the thought of suggesting the Mazda6 to him held me back because of the bad bad after sales. What is a good car when you got a shitty service after that?

I can't guarantee we can fix your problem, but if you send your car in to our SC, we will try to have a look at it again and diagnose as best as we can.

Federal Highway and Glenmarie SC are the worst. But those 2 are the most convenient and time consuming for me. Bookings were made, did not even diagnose the car and they can have the guts to tell me to go back and come again next time because of "too many cars, no time". These are absolutely unprofessional way of handling matters.

I just serviced my M3 at SC at Sungai Besi (Menang Auto) - good and professional service people there - just make an appointment before you go.
I stay in PJ (Sec 14 area) so while it was much more convenient to go to Jln 222, but seeing the number of cars there, I went to Menang and despite being in Sg Besi, if you go on early Sat morning (as in my case) the traffic there was light.

Thanks for sharing your experience IminmyownworlD. Yeah I'm going to send into another service centre and see if they can help with my problem.

Lucifal, I think I would like to try your service centre but my next service won't be due until May this year.

Like other service centres, if I want to make an appointment to service my car but with extra checking like my case above. Would I need to book the appointment on week days only?

Do you have the spare parts on stock if let's say there is a defect on my absorber? Do you have wheel alignment facility in your workshop?

Nope, we will check all problems even on weekends. However, we can't guarantee the duration of your wait since we'll need to do the checking. The best is make an appointment with our friendly Service Advisors, and tell them in advance your problem so that they can prepare upfront what is needed and also have an expectation of what to do when your car arrives at our SC.

We do not have spare parts stock ready, but it will usually take us 1-3 days to get the stock in SC unless Bermaz themselves is out of stock.

Yes, we have wheel alignment & balancing facility in our workshop.

Other than that, we're authorised to do repair, body & paint as well.

Looking forward to your visit soon smile.gif

Hi everyone here... seems everyone here are driving the latest model of M3 while I have just managed to get a 2007 model Sedan 1.6 M3 (used car lar of course)

I found some problems of the car that really need someone expert to help me and at least advise me what should I do... bro lucifal, i know where's your service center is, so would you guys open next week or close for entire week until 18 Feb?

I "guess" that my old M3 engine mounting is gone, the gearbox (i guess again) speed sensor sometimes dunnno how to shft the gear correctly, etc etc... doh.gif

Hi guys,

Anyone removed their Rear view mirror on their Mazda3 2.0 before? I have a unit of rearview mirror with auto dimming and built-in camera. I would like to replace it with the current, but when i took it to the workshop, they tried but failed to remove it due to the placement of auto rain and auto light sensors. Anybody can help with this? Thanks smile.gif

Well, not removing the whole leg that holds the rear view mirror. but just remove the rearview mirror alone ? without removing the leg that attached on the windscreen?

ps. I am reaching my 30K service soon. I will give sg.besi SC for a change this time. I have a few issues to address before going there. That is "burnt smell coming out from the air con when accelerate hard. Any experiences on that? tq very much.

I'm really unsure since I personally have not experienced just removing the rear mirror. Will have to check your accessory & technical side.

As for burnt smell coming from Air-cond, if its been going on for a long time, I suggest you bring it in to any SC ASAP.

Brought to Glenmarie SC before. Sent in for 3 days. They claim they fixed it. smell still coming in. First the service manager ASSURED me it was the cooling coil problem and said he will order in the parts. Nobody called me after that, Then when i brought it back the next few days, no mention of cooling coil at all and the manager was no where to be seen.

This is on the right meter cluster. I found out our usual Fog lamp ON indicator. Would like to ask what the indicator on top? another lamp symbol. And below is DSC OFF. Which we got no way to turn it off.

Attached Image

This is on the left cluster. It shows AFS, i guess is Adaptive Front lighting System. which doesnt come with our car, the middle would be a car symbol and the bottom (AT)

After so long, i only realised, only my fog lamp indicator lighted up before. lols

Well, I bought and took delivery of my M3 2.0 Sedan end of Dec 12, and it only came with a 3+3.

So if the 5+5 promotion is for cars produced in 2012, how come I didn't get mine to be on 5+5???

I think it's not pickup lagging....
It's the lagging when you downshift or upshift...
When you floor the acceleration pedal...the car will lag like 1 sec only downshift and go....

The same happen when using the paddle shift....
Probably the ecu doesn't process fast enough? Haha....

Still manual is the most fun and enjoyable to drive...
You can down shift whenever you want...

For example when I wanna do engine braking....
Down shift at 3~4k rpm...
The brain of the car will say no no...
but our heart and brain know that....it is possible...please change....

hi bro. my fren a mazda 3 owner done his 1st service (1000KM) in pj hq due to it's nearest distance.

may i ask, what oil they provide and did they change all the engine oil? are they use the engine oil in 1L bottle?
cos my fren got the balance in 1L bottle and they ask my fren to attend the 2nd service in 10k KM.

i thought they only top up the engine oil cos only 1L bottle is provided. unless they use 4 bottles where it's not economical i think.
if they only top up the engine oil. i wonder what engine oil is in the engine from new.　mineral or semi or fully? i thought normally new car only put mineral oil cos need to change in the 1st service.

is the mazda service centre provide fully oil?

All Mazda SC provides Mineral, Semi Synth & Fully Synth SHELL engine oil. Every service will include change of Oil Filters + Engine Oil and others depending on the mileage.

Some SC will have huge drums of engine oil while some have 4L & 1L bottles. Don't worry as your service is free of charge as it includes parts & labour. The only difference you need to top up would be if you upgrade to Fully Synthetic Engine Oil.

Please bear in mind, you're not allowed to use your own engine oil in most SC while some allow.

Btw, for those who are upgrading to Fully Synthetic when servicing in our SC @ Jln.Sungai Besi, we're giving a $10 KFC Voucher !!!!

I'm seriously looking into getting a M3. The SA told me that the car has done a layer of coating (something like diamond coating). Is it true for other new buyer here? My SA is from Penang smile.gif

I heard from Juru Autocity's SA too, I think it's pretty legit

Mine is CKD 2012 2.0L

#1 - Tick tick sound from passenger side. I tot it was coming from the Seat belt area. Took to SC many times. still cant fix it. In the end, i found out myself that the rattling sound was coming from the seat belt buckle, where you insert the seat belt into it. When the car is moving, that thing will rattle and hit on the plastic panel at the side. This was my case.

#2 - Happened before. Disappeared after a while.

#4 - No nyek nyek sound happened before. Get the sc to sit in the car with you. sometimes they just take the car in and you have no idea what they are doing behind.

#5 - I am experiencing this. When accelerate from slow speed, there will be some minor tin dragging sound, or as you said it, brisk drumming sound. for about 1 second plus. I've mentioned this to the sc before. nothing fixed or found out. My suggestion, get the sc to sit in with you in the car and let them hear it.

My experience with Bermaz Service was terrible throughout my whole year of driving the car. I have no idea why their knowledge were not sufficient to rectify even the simplest problem. There was one time I took my car for servicing due to "BURNT SMELL" coming out from the aircon when i accelerate medium hard and some rattling noise problem. Took it to sc with appointment made at 9am, gave me back my car at 12.30pm told me to go back and come again next time as there were too many cars and could not fix my car in time.

Went back for another appointment and they gave me another car to drive while they fix the "BURNT SMELL" problem for 2 days. Took my car back, the problem still persisted.

I have done far too many complaints with Bermaz, and they show no care or concern over their name sake. I am tired of their services already.

The Mazda 6 is launching soon, with mouth-watering specs and are so irresistible. My bro's gonna get his next car soon and the thought of suggesting the Mazda6 to him held me back because of the bad bad after sales. What is a good car when you got a shitty service after that?

Cham... Seems like CBU is better?

But I heard the SA said that CBU is not available anymore?


By the way, CBU don't have infotainment as I confirmed

this morning my fren come my house to wash his car. there is nothing about wat engine oil they use in the report or the bill.
it's only a very general description. 1 change engine oil, oil filter. 2. normal check... 3. wash car.

so i dunno what engine they use.

another thing is i found the there's a plastic missing at the left rear tyre space. as per photo.
i will ask my fren to claim the thing or in case this cannot be claimed, cos near to 2 months after car delivery. what is the price of this stuff? 4S ada jual?

DRL - estimate RM280
Pedal Lock - estimate 380
Rear LED - not sure how much ... tongue.gif
