For those who wonders what's behind the 2k, I guess is this
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....ucket=10#detail

It's called Mirabox, and I'm surprised shops are charging this for 2k. If I had a mazda I will definitely try to DIY this.

Seems like the Diesel version is launching soon for M2 as well!

Hopefully the pricing is resonable

Thanks, i try send to center to check and see.

BTW anyone has experiences on 215 45 17 tyres. Hows the driving experiences and will it cause our car under power?
*
Hi there, I'm using one now, Rovelo 215/45/17. I can't really compare with stock as I bought the M2 in used condition with the rims already 17. One thing I noticed is lack of comfort as the tyres is low profile and unable to absorb much bumps. I also do notice it required higher rev to speed up compared to my friend's M2.

- Speed Tachometer at Dashboard
- Paddle Shift, while sport mode remains
- 7 LCD & Commander Knob and Buttons (Replaced with extra cup holders)
- 4 speakers instead of 6
- Lesser USB port
- Push Start is there, but no keyless entry
- Manual Airconditional
- Parking Camera, only left with sensors
- LED / DRL Headlights

Hi geng,

Do you recommend this car for 1st car?
But I'm thinking of the used one only. 2015.
But saw it's hard to find the tyre with default rim and some noise problem XD.

Also I-stop needs to be turned off every time car starts. will continue research on this car.
*
Hi, I'm currently driving a used 2015 M2.
So far okay, true on the tyre, the previous owner changed to 17" rims so makes tyre selection easier. Plus it looks nicer too.
Noise problem, if you meant the front knocking noise its pretty based on luck, just test properly I guess. I got mine my M2 from friends referral, so it's somehow more trustable

I don't see why you need to turn off the I-stop every time. A good battery like DELKOR can last u at least a year plus with normal i-stop usage.

Hi guy. My M2-18 months. Air con got some abormal sound and not cold. Any advice? What is the root cause? Can I get it sort out by outside aircon shop or must send back to SC (appointment needs 2 weeks in JB)?
*
If the car is still under warranty, please bring back to Mazda Service Centre. You don't wanna visit outside workshop to replace something and end up voiding the warranty
It might due to some issue with the aircond compressor.

Hi.
Recently bought a 2nd hand M2. The front jumper is cracked and the side view mirror mounting lost its cover. Recommendations for service centre that can repair this well?
*
Best if you could get in touch with Mazda body and paint service centre to get a quotation. Most of the Mazda service centre I visited does not repair body issues like bumper etc
Else outside workshop might be difficult to get the correct parts. And also depending which area you from.

My m2's aircond is dead - no cold air at all. It's already 3 years old, is it normal? Aircond guy said need to replace condenser and repair hose for 1.2k including workmanship. Is this price ok?
*
No harm to get second opinion from other workshop I think. My car is also soon approaching three years and aircond still works fine. I doubt our car condenser can Kong so easily

Hi, my mazda 2 just about to change battery for the 1st time.

1. Is there any concern if to replace a Q85/115D23L battery with a conventional 55D23L battery which is much cheaper? Will it end up cause any affect on the system or alternator?

2. As of SC, replacement for a Q85 Delkhor plus reset system, cause RM540. Outside shop replace a Q85 Delkhor only RM485 with saying no reset needed. Is reset necessary with will cost RM60 at SC?

3. Outside shop introduce me MA75D23L Exide to replace Q85 and not to activate iStop. Is this make sense?
*
1. Please don't. You must use a Q85/115D or 90D EFB battery. Its needed for istop feature. It might void the warranty since you are not using the correct battery.
2. No need reset, u can reset your istop by holding the istop button. I forgot the exact steps, but you can always google. No special tools required to reset.
3. No, does not make sense, our car automatically enable istop everytime you start your car. So how sure you will remember to turn it off everytime? Not to mention you might affect other parts which might ended up costing much more to repair. Really, don't save on your battery cost. There are many brands with Q85 batteries such as AMARON, VARTA, Energizer etc..


QUOTE(red4900 @ Dec 3 2018, 07:05 AM)
Hmmm. 100k service at RM400? Last time i went to SC, they mentioned 100k service is at RM1100++, need to change spark plug and other stuffs.

Or i salah dengar? At what interval do we replace the spark plugs? Also, how about the timing chain maintenance?
*
I changed my spark plugs myself by looking the wear and tear. but the stock iridium plugs can last for 100k. I bought the replacement for only RM140, DENSO IRIDIUM TT and it works fine.

Hahahaha. Modded. ECU remapped to digest Ron97 and above. This month going to remap again, maybe will remap back to Ron95 to save money  icon_rolleyes.gif

Anyway, they say Ron97 is "cleaner" for the engine in the long run, less carbon buildup etc etc.
If concern is the above, can always go to those Carbon Cleaning specialist once in a while. It cost about RM200~300 (maybe cheaper), you can opt to do it once a year, or once every certain km (every 50,000km or 100,000km). I just did mine in Shah Alam area, promotion period  RM150 only that time tongue.gif

Hi Justin, mind to share which kedai you went for ECU remapping?
Because my car was ECU mapped when I purchase from previous owner. Hope to check if the mapping was done correctly as sometimes I feel having trottle delay & sudden rpm increase while accerating.

hi, would like to check with you guys.

so recently i went to this car workshop to change AFT for my mazda 2. before that i asked the shop (via FB) how much does it cost and they quoted me rm35x4 which = 140 + free inspection

then i went to the car shop, before start i double confirm with the technician there how much for it, he said rm180 (wtf). then i showed him the message said i already pm your shop before and only cost 140, then he like "o..ok..can one".

then he start his job and i clearly clearly see he only take out 3x bottle of the ATF oil which is 3L for my car.

once everything done, i proceed for payment, he took out his inspection paper/invoice and there also written "ATF x3" then he immediately strike off the '3' and change to '4' and charge me the price of x4

so did i got scammed by this car workshop?
*
Sounds very fishy to me, when I change my M2 ATF, I bought 4 bottles and they used up 3.75 L, left only a quarter and returned to me. Cost me RM 30 at Jalan kuching.
Better to check the ATF dipstick, to ensure enough ATF being poured in & find another workshop next time

This is the workshop I went, because it was nearby my work place.
Although I'm sure many other workshop are resonable as long you asked the price first and know basic car stuff.

Might as well save the money and retrofit Android Auto/Car Play.
The navi system is just mediocore and needs to be updated regularly.

Anyone can recommend me alternatives for swapping out battery aside from the service center in Selangor area? Its the same leaking issue again i think, the i-stop blinking in orange color non stop. Its like every 18 months will have this kind of issue, and 600+ for swapping to new battery is really ^^;;;; was thinking if there are other shops that can do the same, but at lower prices.

Yes of course, I replaced mine for RM 480 i think, Varta Brand
