Good to hear that it has been fixed. You mean the bushing is the 4th version that is being applied to the car ?

I'm having the noise too, really trying to ignore until there is permanent fix for our Skyactiv BM model.

seems like we need to make a TT session to glemarie SC to replace the bush

mine still got sound but less noticeable when passing bump, the "ngek2" sound when passing bump during rainy day still very loud

Mine no more but need some rain to further confirm

I might as well go and change if it can be fixed. As my 30k reach soon as well.

hi, any members here want to sell their mazda 3? im looking for used 1. preferably HS CKD. but if CBU soul red can consider also

hi all sifus, new member here with Mazda 3 HB^^

Hi~ Welcome bro. A rare hatch you've got there. PIC pls~

Since the tyre that you changed is no longer as per the original size. Do you feel any sluggishness or slower in braking ?
Do that help to make the tyre noise lesser ah in highway ?

cause I am about to change the tyre but in dilemma also. Pls share your exp ya. Thank you

i think 1 of my toyo tyres is pregnant, is it safe to continue?

if change tyre, how is the TPMS connected back?

What is ur budget

May I know what is the wiper size that we should buy for Mazda 3 skyactiv kodo model.tq

Recent visit found out they dont provide the 24" size anymore, max is 21" only. I was using 19 / 24 on my car.

Thx mate! I will go outside and findthe viper my own d.the SC quoted me Rm100+ for a pair of wiper

Around 80k?

No worries, i have changed mine to continental 225/40/r18. Quieter and more comfy ride than before the toyo tyres eventhough i had lower the thickness, it doesn't effect to speed accuracy and the braking. Meantime i had changed an aftermarket battery, the battery just costed me rm330 gst+installation and suprisingly the i-stop works perfectly! Guys, next time do not need to change to Q85, it may burn a big hole to your wallet!

May i know where you get your tyres changed? Cause michelin for 18inch is very expensive, normally it cost 800-1000 each for PS4 and slightly cheaper for PS3.

Gus, just did my 10k service in SMG Auto Sri Rampai, Setapak

share my experience here.

Drove in on Saturday 930am, there wasn't any customer over the premises, except 1 suzuki swift still on the service bay (this used to be suzuki SC).

opt for Fully syn upgrade and cancelled off all the "recommended extras" (wiper washer, engine treatment injector cleaner...bla bla)

reported some knocking noise from everytime engine restart back from istop function.

car is in service bay, noticed that mechanic placed shell hx7 instead of fully yn beside my car. When told, then only apologized "sorry took wrong"

The Shell Fully syn is 5w-40 (4L) + 1 L 5W-30, i feel a bit skeptical about this, since my previous oil was 5W-30 during 1st 1K service.

Mechanic tried to tighthen lower arm bolt for the suspected noise issue as above, in the end the lower arm bult thread got damaged and claimed its rusted due to accumulation of water (does anyone faced this?)

claimed to top up my battery water, and remainder of fluid placed in the boot, but never saw it there.

Conclusion:

1. Despite lack of customer traffic, I personally found that this SC does not gave me a peace of mind, everything needs to be double checked. God knows what happened if i wasn't there to inspect.

2. even im on fully syn now, but it feel heavier than usual, is 5W-40 meant for this skyactiv anyone can confirm?

3. Last good news, battery still can claim for free (if within 1 year or 20,000km) but replacement is only same Wet type.

4. Was told that the SC in Berjaya Industrial Park is better. any experience from you all?

5W-30 is recommended for SKYACTIVE as per the manual.

Battery is under the standard warranty of 1year or 20,000km whichever comes first. (This is standard throughout all Battery used in all cars)

You mean you changed to an ordinary battery not specifically designed for i-stop but the i-stop still works? What make and AH is that?

Hi lucifal, how about 5W-40 (FS) engine oil which we top-up? Is it suitable for our SKYACTIV engine?
