Ok thanks.1st 3 year foc since free service. After that just normal service and wear and tear. Not much i guess

may i know how did Mazda solve the problem?

my case which already over 20k km and more than 1 year, 1year 1month to be exact, still able to claim a free battery..

hi guys,

i just send my car to mazda SC to check my engine light problem...turn out the catalystic converter problem...so the SC suggest to me to change the whole set that cost roughly 10k...and my car already out of warranty...so i just want to ask u guys if any of u ever faced this problem? or any workshop that can offer lower price?

Whoah 😳
Get a second opinion. I'm not sure of any workshop that's a specialist for Mazda. I remember someone mentioned about a M3 club which have their own recommended workshops.

But do get a second opinion. It may be just a O2 sensor that's faulty which won't cost much to replace. For 10k, might as well get an aftermarket exhaust system for extra vroooom 😆

at beginning they also thought that O2 sensor faulty but after scan with their tool turn out catalys converter that is faulty...they told me if i only change the O2 sensor that only last for a year and if i change the whole set it can prevent the problem for 2-3 years...i don know they want to cheat me or what cause i don know much about car...

If changing the sensor is solving the problem, might as well do it and see how it goes after 1 year.

Honestly their diagnosis is very lame and stupid. Please get a second opinion at different place.

The catalytic converter is not essential to the operation of your car but being a good citizen and caring for the environment it feels good to get it fixed if only to get rid of the engine fault light.

But rm10K to fix it? And only for 2-3 years? Tell the SC to take their estimate and shaft it up where the sun doesn't shine.

Most official SCs are the same. They overcharge, are bad at diagnosis and refuse to fix anything. They only know how to replace whole set.

Unfortunately I don't know of any Mazda specialist but looking for solution outside is certainly the way to go.

Which SC is this ? A very lame diagnosis =.=

yeah i thought so...plan to change the O2 sensor only and see how...

they just connect their device and diagnosis the car...no further check...and they said if i don change, the problem may effect other parts...maybe i go look for solution at other place..

at taman midah, cheras

If chging o2sensor may help..may i suggest you to use ron97 petrol for 1 week to see if the light go away? Many times the light go away if its o2sensor after using ron97.

Dear all, plan to buy 2014 cbu Mazda 3 is there any major issue with CBU 2014 Mazda 3?

Go to PJ or Sg. Besi SC to diagnose

Who's interested in a Pre-Register Mazda3 2.0 SkyActive HB *not driven* before ?

Available colors Alum & Meteor Grey. 1 unit each.

Kindly contact me for more information.

does anyone have a detail list of service schedule, mind to share? im thinking about M3 now...

Try 2 tankful of good petrol + fuel system cleaner each tank. Give it a good hard drive for about 100km in order for the ECU to give a richer fuel/air mix, a cheap way i learned from a car enthusiast before really plonking money for a part replacement.

anyone already unlock the speed meter?
My friend was making joke on me driving a 2.0 L car but the pick up damn lousy.

service interval is same like typical japanese car, not much different even though it uses more advanced engine tech and more electronics
