hi

how do we check our "queue" number in terms of the car allocation

i read quite a lot of pages back and many mentioned they check their queue number

is it check with SA or there is an online system that we can check it ourselves? hmm.gif

quick question here...

im planning to install TPMS on the car once i have it...

when it comes to the 12V port, does it auto shut down after a few minutes? similar to the USB ports/type C ports...

or its always on in the Malaysian variant...?

also, if internal TPMS = does it void warranty...? hmm.gif

I personally checked with the PJ's SC previously and I was told that the warranty will only void as to the extend of the modded parts (eg: if you mod the tires then everything related / connected thereto goes with it which means you cannot then raise a claim for wonky suspension however if your gearbox gives way and it's not due to such modification then you should not be barred).

... then again, this is like "got say like no say" because it is up to BERMAZ to determine whether they are "related/connected" or not.
the 12V port (inside the glove box) shuts off few minutes after the engine is turned off.

the TMPS module is installed by replacing the original tire valve so no, it will not void any of the manufacturer's warranty (since it is reversible anyway) but you can't raise any claim if your tires go crazy (bulging etc.) therefore unless you are going to link and activate the TMPS via the i-ActiveSense suite, I don't see there's a problem with it.

thanks for replying!

got it on the 12V, i will feel safer keeping the TPMS plugged in now... smile.gif

we can add the TPMS natively into the infotainment? i thought the Malaysian market doesnt have the TPMS option?

thought i've seen Mazda cars in the US or EU have it...

but we dont have... sad.gif

anyway, cant wait for the car. hopefully dont have to wait 4-6 months laugh.gif

last i checked, i was 7th or 8th according to the SA, out of 11 nationwide... hopefully just 2-3 months max... laugh.gif

we don't but the features are just locked behind software so it can be activated.

there is a technician over in Thailand that can apparently activate all these "hidden features" provided that the hardware are installed.

You can join the Mazda3 FB's page once you have taken delivery of your car - the group recently organized a convoy heading towards Thailand looking for this technician. I don't think they have departed yet, not sure because i did not follow.

ah i see...

but im wondering, does internal TPMS void any warranty...?

as my current car im using internal TPMS, i still prefer it as its more accurate...

but just dont know if i should install it so soon after getting the car... since it will be all new... later the workshop go scratch my rim with their tools while installing laugh.gif

I booked Mazda3 Liftback H+ and requested manufacture year 2024. I was told I can get the car latest by Feb. While waiting, I actually plan to mod the car (this is my first car and a newb). Was wondering what kind of mod will void the warranty? Does changing the muffler void the warranty? not the whole exhaust system.

hi, just to check with you...

are there any updates on your car regarding February collection...?

since now its already around middle of Jan...

last i check with my SA few days ago, no news of any delivery arrival at port yet... hmm.gif

i also book around Nov 2023 and was told January/Feb too...

but now i was also hinted that possibility of March arrival is not to be ignored... sweat.gif sweat.gif

Just changed 2 set of tyres. Got unlucky that my front right passenger tyre experienced bulging on the sidewall. It is a pain in the arse to find the original tyres that came with the car as a lot of tyre shops doesn’t carry the 215/45 R18 tyre size.

Luckily managed to procure and installed the original tyre brand and size that was installed originally with the car (Bridgestone Turanza T005A, 215/45 R18). Cost me RM520/tyre.

gsan, saw your signature you got the VXDiag diagnostic tool. How much did you bought it for and from where did you get it? Is the diagnostic comprehensive enough to view car’s parameters?
*
where did you manage to find the shop...?

did you consider using Pilot Sport 5...?

although the size is slightly different... hmm.gif hmm.gif

Called Bridgestone Malaysia at first to enquire about stock availability. They said don't have any stock available and ask to call their main distributor for any leftover stock. FYI, they do import this size 215/45 R18 89W, just that it is sporadic stock intake.

Next, I called the main distributor and they are useless as they don't really want to entertain personal request.

Next, called various tyre shops that carry Bridgestone tyres (getting the list from Bridgestone Malaysia's website) and ask around for any leftover stocks. Found one shop at Kota Damansara, PJU, who managed to source the tyres for me.

Did consider Michelin tyres. Same thing, first thing first, called Michelin Malaysia if they do stock the same size of tyres. They said yes to stock availability for both Michelin Primacy 4 and Pilot Sport 5 and asked to call various tyre shops who stock Michelin tyres. Michelin is my backup plan to replace all 4 tyres in the event I cannot find the same Bridgestone tyres.

Not a fan of having 2 different tyre brands on the car.

Michelin Primacy 4 recommended selling price is from RM648.00 (215/45 R18 93W, extra load) while Pilot Sport 5 (215/45 ZR18 93Y) is from RM939.00 (prices available from Michelin Malaysia's website).
It is squeaky noise when braking? I had the issue where the rear left brake disc was eating into the disc brake (clear abrasion seen on the disc itself). Changed the brake pads under warranty and the sound went away. First time with the dealership mechanic unable to produce the sound. Went back home and the second time I drove, the sound came back and immediately went back to the dealership. Mechanic saw the abrasion and was able to hear the noise as well. It was a high pitch, high frequency noise. Ask for a younger mechanic to confirm the noise as the noise was usually high frequency sound and older mechanic might not be able to hear them due to age related deterioration of hearing.

ah okay...

thinking if i should just opt in for PS5 with different sizes as those can be cheaper...

may i know why you insist to opt for the same tyre spec...?

just for the sake of maintaining the original tyre sizes...?

you didnt consider like this PS5 225/45/18 for RM698 per tyre...? just 10mm width difference from 215 and 225...

hi all mazda 3 owners...

just a quick question here...

is it a common issue where when we brake slowly, there will be a "krik krik krik" sound...?

and driving slowly sometimes have the same sound also... even without braking...

i went to SC for checking and the SC said it is a common issue for Mazda 3 models... and what they can do is just grease it to reduce the sound...

they say even if i change brake pads... the sound will return eventually...

they also say its common like during a cold drive/cold morning... the brake disc will screech also because of the brake pads...

according to them, they say the brake pads are not 100% align properly, so sometimes it will wobble depending on the speed...?

any solution to this...? or its a problem we have to endure while owning it...?

thanks...!
