I drive CKD version. I'm still in the que to get it replaced.

How does it sound is very subjective and personal, so i can't really give you an answer on that. What i can say is, as I've driven my old previous car with the lower arm making noise for a number of years, I'm rather fine with it.

The sound isn't annoying but the fact that this happens on a new car model right after driving out of the showroom floor does annoy me. My previous car have this sound starting only around year 8 or 9 of the ownership, so kind of understandable. My other family car which is a SUV and approaching year 5 of ownership. But the suspension is still doing well.

Don't discount the Subaru, especially the soon to launch Levorg (1.6L turbo boxer yo)

It is not SUV, a wagon, something like the 508SW (for reference).

Why do you need it?

Unless you want to do used oil analysis....

When you go for service, request the service technician to adjust the angle higher. The default setting's light throw is very short, so feel like not bright enough.

Glad that you're joining our club of owners soon

Which colour you go for? And how long was the estimated delivery?

Hahaha...you're so cute in doing this....

That unit probably a lemon if break down so early, all cars models will have it, just your luck.

Problematic components will usually come longer down the road when mileage start to add up. The infamous VW DSG and Ford Powershift is quite known to us now for example.

Another less known but serious example is the BMW High Pressure Fuel Pump issue, damn expensive. Google "BMW HPFP" to see more.

You can get in touch with this fellow : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1352771/+740?hl=shorty5

He surely got some other poison to recommend you

By the way, was that your cute face you changed your avatar photo to??

Other than the pedal lock, the only other thing worth doing is to do the sound insulation rubber from the same seller I recommended earlier. Should be around RM200 for all 4 doors, can see their facebook page for examples.

It is based on your budget la....

But pay attention to the colour of the tint. Don't view it from a small cut out sample sheet but pull out a large piece from their roll on their workstation to determine (ask permission first though).

After you spend a significant sum of $$$ yet got very very strong colour shift, you may regret. But this is my personal opinion and preference for neutral tint. I don't want my vision to be too off colour. Some have very strong blue/green tone.

Another way is for you to actually see those cars in their workshop that is in process of applying the tint. Who knows, maybe a lower/cheaper version suits you better.

so far has anyone done foaming for the current mazda3 at your shop?

Should be around RM1500-1800.

For those member that have actually went to service centre to get their suspension fixed under warranty claim, do you mind uploading your work order/receipt?

This can serve as a good reference for other forum members when approaching the service centre to deal with the noisy suspension issue.

I myself is still on the waiting list but they only put me on que for the lower arm bush replacement to settle the "nyek nyek" sound when going over humps during rainy days but not for the "kruk kruk" sound on uneven roads.

I would like to also see whether got part number for the replacement works done.

I see...glad that they have a permanent solution for this.

I'm just a bit frustrated that they only put me on que for the lower arm bush replacement (which settles the "nyek" sound) but not the "kruk" sound although I told them i want to do it together.

As I'm at down south and only one main service centre, very difficult to get a good timing for a fix and some more require a full day job.

Fuh~~~ you really speed kaki....

I don't drive at a slow pace but can't match to your level

Be careful on the road ya

I'm not discouraging you for this kind of jobs but here's my opinion on this. Since you've gotten your car very recently, try driving the car around it's original state as it is for maybe a year or so (at least 6 months la if you really gatal to change/add on). Some people may find certain sound annoying but you may not. You may be able to save some money.

You use paddle shift means you engage manual mode. It is called manual mode for a reason, meaning, the computer won't do the job for you until you input what you want. It applies to recent models of mercedes and bmw also which i test drove before.

It will last about 5 seconds. If you reached the speed or complete your maneuver, upshift manually to lower down the engine RPM. There's nothing wrong with the car at all. If you think it is not fast enough, do it with the gear shifter, that one very direct the moment you push out of manual mode.

Why do you want remaining engine oil back? They all pour exact amount (5L) into the oil sump after draining. They already give you free engine oil, some more want to ask more??

If you want your old engine oil back, please tell them so, but very unlikely they will allow you as it is messy and well go against their SOP and 5S procedure. Service centres (even neighbourhood workshops) will use a giant oil catch tank when they drain out the oil so in the end of the day, they can drain out that tank to recycle vendor.

Unless you're into used oil analysis (which is extremely rare for normal motorist here and i can quite confidently say in this region other than large commercial fleet companies), there's no point for you keeping the old oil. If you die die want to have the old oil, the service technician can simply just pump the oil from the oil catch tank and give it to you, which already mix with maybe 20 cars/trucks worth of used oil. No way to ascertain that used oil is the one drained from your car.

*correction : for outside workshop, most likely you can witness them do the service on your car. So less risk of them skipping your car's servicing unless you're away.

And how are you going to dispose it properly? The SC/workshops at least will liase with those oil recycling vendor to collect.

If really cannot trust the service centre, then either you request you be present to witness when they service your car (which they most likely won't allow) or do service DIY style on your own (not outside workshop as the same situation stated above applies).

You mean new engine oil? How much oil they return to you?

Ok la if that's what they want to prove themselves. But still doesn't prove that bottle of engine oil was indeed poured into your car, could be any empty bottle around their tong sampah...oh well, conspiracy theories aside, i'll just trust them in doing their thing since it is warranted and part of their free service package.

As for the Honda case, i think it is a genuine oversight of the staff there. If it is really prevalent here regardless of car brand, that means the companies here are really shit head in the business ethics and moralities.

I give them my

In Perodua, you pay for the servicing right? So it should be rightful for them to give back whatever unused item as they charge you in whole Litres of the engine oil.

But if Mazda, with free oil, and still do that, almost charity leh....unless you opt for the fully synthetic oil that must pay la...probably will return about half a litre back to you...

That means the service supervisor just do box ticking instead of properly checking the work done and signing off the service.

Need 4L+ not exactly 5.

For free service, if like that....wa...charity meh...give you 3L back....

They got 1L small bottles also la...but most likely, i think they just buy bulk 4L pack or maybe in large drum and measure roughly 5L out.

For me, none. Go in empty handed, go back also empty handed

You use fully synthetic option or the free oil package?
