I think this depends on luck since the volume of this batch too much. I guess government staff just randomly pick some of the car at port to process everyday instead of following the queue no from Bermaz.

well, at least they should have sorted it by region...how come Ipoh also there are some people way faster than the rest like me shakehead.gif

to those who are getting your car soon, remember to check the tyre pressure

caught one at 420 kPa, another at 380 kPa
another two couldn't see but should be about 400 kPa too

no wonder ride was harsh

understood that showroom does it to improve how the car looks, but quite irresponsible to deliver cars at such state
*
dont think that's the reason for this practice, there was a video explaining about this by mr low, but forgot which one

Since getting Mazda 3, I even learn to wash my own car with proper techniques xD
and then went down the rabbit hole of car detailing. RIP. Even got a foam cannon and pressure washer now



But if really need to wash outside, I will watch how they wash the car in front:
1. Do they pre-wash and rinse before wash? ( To loosen dirt, if not it will drag across your beautiful mazda paint)
2. Is their foam not thick enough? (Too thin, no lubrication, scratch your car)
3. Did they use one mitt for whole car?
4. Or they use sponges instead of mitts?
5. Do they wash in 1 direction or wash in circles with the mitt? (swirl marks)

If any of the above, will walk away find another car wash. mazda3 made me so anal towards carwashes.

i already very particular with car wash since my honda city, lol
i am following this:

from the looks on your front cam, the installer removed your rear view mirror mount and put the wiring in it?

after a week with my car, it poped up with "low battery risk warning" when i was washing my car in the morning.

I quickly start the car, and then tons of center warning appear like "i-activsense safety not working" (i can't recall the exact words unfortunely)

Is that normal? I just started my car in the evening, everything back to normal

other owners have reported that a similar warning message have popped up when starting the engine after leaving the car unlocked for a significant period of time (mostly during car washes) but goes away after driving for some time.

the assumed underlying (common) cause could be:-

1) when the car left unlocked but engine not started, will constantly prompt the car to locate the key (proximity sensor) and this drains battery; and
2) if you have accessories installed on the car (which are not stock, eg: dashcam), this will continue to sap power from your car's battery.

the consequence is as the same if you leave the interior lights / headlights / any other accessories of the car on without having the engine started.

the warning message usually goes away after you have started the car / driven it for some time where the battery gets it charge back so try not to do 2 of the above and see if the message still pops up and if it doesn't then you have solved your issue.

thanks, just wondering if i need to switch off my engine while waiting for someone in my car, what's the best way to do it then if i do not want to wear out my battery?
