good for you

Nothing rampant so far, other than the annoying suspension noise.....

Worth or not is up to you to decide. Better that you also go try out civic, golf and hyundai elantra before making the decision.

Daikor ZeroSP come help this friend

It's all about the marketing....environmental credentials can sell.....

The best way is to just turn it off after starting the car, it becomes second nature after about a month or 2. Manually activate it after a long drive once in a while at night to just test whether still working or not.

How long the engine can pause also is a rough guide of your battery health. Just remember to turn off A/C so the system will ignore cabin temperature cut off.

i remember to do it once in awhile. apparently the effect not significant enough. too many things to do when starting the car. put seatbealt open mirrors lock the doors then istop

I think the more intuitive sequence should be seatbelts>start button>istop button>mirrors, it is one circle from left to right

Practice makes perfect, i get the hang of it already. Now if i don't see orange istop led, now immediately feel beh song

Selling Varta if you are ok with it.

Look for GP Q85...there is one shop at Taman Mayang doing promotion ...just RM360

If problem starting car battery is weak and due for replacement. Your SC is bullshitting you to avoid honouring the warranty. Try another SC.

4. Claim dead car battery

To answer my own post, got the battery changed for free today. First battery change during warranty period is free. There is also another 1 year warranty on top of the new battery. Don't need appointment, just drive the car in and wait 1-2 hrs.

is this only applicable to mazda 3 or all skyactiv range?

currently in East Malaysia not sure if i can buy the battery and get my SC to install for me

tak boleh la

They refuse to change the battery under warranty? Once the i-stop doesn't work anymore you can claim a new battery irrespective of how much charge they measure.

Any battery shop can install for you. If they don't know how to recaliberate the i-stop google on how to do it yourself.

More than 1 year liao. so no more warranty will changing battery at outside shop void the entire car's warranty?

Nope.. It's allowed and won't affect the warranty.

just check the current battery before start in the morning 12.29v (using multimeter)

Hi masters, is it worth Mazda 3, year 2010, rm29800, car body only ?

Condition looks fine tough …

What do you mean car body only? Does it have an engine in it?

Whole car only exclude those processing fee etc. Total quoted OTR is rm 33K.

Is it worth this price ah ?

My car suddenly started having some really loud growling + squeaking/scratching noise, seems to be from the engine(but could be transmission?)
Only noticeable when pushing throttle slowly like just moving after starting, or low rpm and <60kmh. And only in D, never in N.

SC near setapak won't take in during saturdays(service only they say), and they're full tomorrow.
My schedule is packed so no time to send it in myself any other time, now I'm worry myself to death lol

Need some word of comfort from you guys.

Sounds like a loose timing belt. What year is your car?

Could be a loose air-con belt. Off the air-con and see if the sound disappears.

2014

That's what I thought as well, but then I dismissed it because couldn't understand how that would relate to the noise.
Tried turning the air-con off and so far the sound disappears

Of course could just be coincidence, so I'll play around again with the air-con tomorrow before sending it to service on Wednesday.
Thanks.
