    Transmission Whine sound when turning the wheel

    I'm having a similar issue and my dealership is kinda stumped. The service manager says he's never heard anything like it. The noise only happens when the wheels are turning moving forward or backwards AND the steering wheel is turned in either direction. The noise is pretty loud and speeds up...

    How-To: LED Interior / Reverse / Licence plate lights

    This might be a silly question, but will the LED "bulbs" still dim on/off like the stock bulbs? Thanks!

    Stiffen your Mazda 3, Mazdaspeed 3 shifter for FREE

    I did the mod last weekend and I'm pretty happy as well. Much less of a "rubbery" feeling. :-) Question: Has anyone else noticed that all of the bushings are not the same size? Or is it just mine???

    Help Me Please

    The madza.ca website lists a Speed3 2008.5. There's a post somewhere on here that had a list of differences. From what I remember they were mostly cosmetic: Some new colours, the seats are a different colour, and the HU can play MP3 discs.

    Mazda Canada and the CAI

    Interesting... I was talking with a dealer here in Calgary about 3 weeks ago and they were willing to order one in for me. I've also noticed the black soot around the exhaust. It turns completely black in a day or two. I was cleaning it daily for the first week and then gave up... (screwy)

    Where's the block heater plug?

    Found mine on the driver's side pretty close to the front of the car. I didn't have time to take pics but I'll try to get to it this weekend.

    Block heaters anyone

    It's apparently a law up here. (or it could be sales guy BS...)

    noise from windshield?

    I'm glad I found this thread too. Rattles and creaks annoy me to no end and my MS3 is only 3 days old. It's pretty cold here and that thing is creaking like crazy. I was really, really hoping it was one of those "known issues"! :-)
