Hi guys..any good aircond service shop around cheras to recommend? Aircond has been making screeching sound when i turn it on..

If the car is on cold start.... it kinda a normal thing for me..probably last less than 10 seconds

Did you go through a puddle of water recently? If yes, then will probably go off in a day or 2.

If still persist, most likely the belt tension relating to the compressor will need to be adjusted. It is a simple job that any workshop/accessory shop that does air conditioning services can help you. Less than 5 minute job, just a few pulls on the wrench, maybe they won't even charge you for it.

The lazy way : start the car with the air conditioning off, drive it for a minute and restart air conditioning, highly unlikely will make the screeching sound at all.

Will try the lazy way... should not be water..

Tried the lazy way..not working..

Mine is about 7 months old BM model bro, impossible the cabin filter spoil so fast.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll try and update later.


There is Mazda service bulletin release for North America about this issue for a number of other model so yes, it's seems to be common thing for high humidity climate.

i am planning to upgrade my rim for my 2015 mazda3 (from 18inch alloy silver color) to 19 inch gun metal mazda 6 rim.

pls advice whether i should upgrade mazda oem rim or shall i get some other non oem rims.

hmmm.....i go try with my aircond again see got the smell or not

dont upgrade, 19 inch look nice but will degrade the performance especially the OEM rims due to heavier weight

if you got the budget then go for lighter sport rims

You didn't mention why you want to upgrade..

Going one up is not bad, but there are trade offs.. FC is one ; comfort another - pros would be a tad better dry roadholding..
If I were you, l'd look at lite, after market rims of the same size.. 18inchers are decent enough already, l shudder to think how much a 19inch tyre would cost when time to change it..

Workshop say is tensioner prob.. Need to change and chg 2 belts as well..almost 1k..

i thought going up one inch would give better grip and i like dark rims. my car is silver and the silver alloy rim does not look that good.
and i love the mazda 6 gun metal rim (dark colored rim).
this is the reason why i wanted to change.
if i buy an non oem rim i wont sell off my original oem rims so i think need to fork out more for the lighter non oem rims
i thought pushing my oem and getting another oem rim in return.
my tyres are still new (10 months old car only)

but i am confuse whether is it worth it or not. thats y wanted ask what you guys think about it

Anyone knows why we don't get the radio station name? Or any tweaks on making it visible?

Oh..

If for looks, then black is even better.. no?
I like dark colored rims too, especially on a lite colored car.. but unfortunately, OE rims - other than tat it being the exact offset, is usually boringly designed or bloody heavy.. so for me, unless you really really love tat rim, l'd go for after market rims

lighter rims will have better acceleration

if you want black rims can just spray the current 18" to black and it will look good, i wouldn't recommend to upgrade to 19"

Need some help taikor,
i notice that my headlamp are quite low.
When the headlamp is on, the lit up area is not even. (passenger side will always be higher than the driver side)

That's normal. I've asked the SC about it, they told me that it's to reduce the glare for oncoming cars.

You can ask them to recheck yours during your next service since that the headlamp is adjustable.

Stick with 18 and get wider non OEM rims, like maybe 225 or 235 and a good set of rubber..
Going 19 doesn't mean u would get better grip if the rubbers aren't on par and it's pretty expensive..

you can adjust the headlight level yourself

the level is not even is normal for ALL cars, driver side is lower to prevent blinding oncoming cars
