im driving that car, awesome.

got the ECU remap, super awesome throttle response and power (reach full hp at 4k+ instead of 6k rpm). i-stop shut off d
pedal shifters are awesome too. frequently play within 2nd (up to 80kmh) and 3rd gear (up to 140kmh)
deciding whether to change to 18" wheels to soften the ride and to save on the tyres cuz next tyre change is up ahead. 18' can change to 50mm thick tyres for better ride as the 19" is hard.
my friend had same unit, driven to 200,000km d. no problem at all, just usual wear and tear parts. (like belt tensioner, lower arm making sound that type)

only complain is the noise level is high, i've done some soundproofing on wheel arch and front floor to lower road noise. right now more towards engine noise. see when i'm free will soundproof the doors, floor and rear boot.

this car is a high spirited driver experience car, not like the unker camry/accord/teana feeling.
plus it's a 5star european NCAP rating. very safe

1. working great
2. 30-40,000km i think, must change la, now manufacturer getting greedy. mechanical parts will last longer if the lubrication is clean
3. nope, havent clean valves. but i'm considering doing SeaFoam on it at the moment
it's sprayed into intake manifold to burn carbon deposits in engine block. i've done it on my old car with 190,000km and when change the engine oil, WALAO the oil was literally like BLACK INK darkness. can get it at AceHardware @ RM 58
if want to do must do it right before service oil to flush out all the dirty things.
watch this video where he rejuvenate his old engine with seafoam and LucasOil additive


i've read that all direct injection cars will get the dirty valves as it's by design the back of the valve will get dirty.
but that wouldnt affect performance so much. walnut valve cleaning is in my to do list too.
saw on FB got ppl doing it. find in FB

my tuner friend told me that for SkyActive model must take care of the engine oil, will cause vvti problems if engine oil not taken care well. perhaps it's better to shorten service interval to 7,000km instead of 10,000km ??

Alright, if I got find good contact pls share.

i found this, never visit them before. they got walnut shell blasting, EGR cleaning services as well.
looks like they service a lot of mazda 6 and cx5

let me know if u done it ya, thanks

can do these maintenance if reaching 100,000km
1. AC compressor service
2. engine decarbonizing + intake valve + EGR valve (do all these the car feels like new d, clear piston, exhaust, intake)
3. transmission filter FZ0121500, strainer they called it
4. engine mounting
5. spark plugs (if not mistaken is rated at 80,000km)

remember do ECU remap after nice service.
u will feel like driving different car. step a bit it's already 100+, no more sluggish feeling anymore.
just now on NKVE behind a beemer was thinking why he's going so slow. see my meter it's already 140+kmh. dint realize it until see meter

the ATF filter need to change as usually when it's due warranty is long over d.
outside mechanics might dont know service interval as it's not done so frequent (80,000km is 3-4years)

let me know when you're going
