The boost pressure is controlled by an internal wastegate which effectively lets the exhaust turbine be bypassed before compressor turbine air gets sent on through quite a large air to air intercooler. The intercooler is the part that sits down by the radiator to cool the incoming charge air...
Yes, I take your point but but there were two aspects to my recent answer. The first is in response to the comments about why Mazda don’t dump the diesel or even ever bothered launching it and that was because battery and hybrid power are not at a stage where they can fully compete with...
Another puerile statement. The information in your recall note is incorrect regarding dates and there is no such recall for Europe. In any case the engine that you have access to isn’t effected and is cleaner than your gasoline engine so before you make childish summary conclusions, at least...
Unless it’s a cold day when your car becomes a 2.0 model. Mazda and most of the population of Europe must know less than you Unob. You let yourself down with these sweeping statements.
There’s too many of you slagging off the diesel when you’ve neither driven one or understand why Mazda are committed to it but it doesn’t help when you live in a culture of very little consideration for the climate emergency. That doesn’t help when your gaffer has a complete disregard for the...
The fact that it’s a diesel should have been in your first post. It will need the oil pan off and the oil strainer cleaning or renewing, they get clogged with carbon. Once you’ve done it, reduce the oil change period to 6000 miles and only use C3 oil which has a low ash content.
If it isn’t showing any problems now, they’ll take the view that it could have been sticky pins and you didn’t give them chance to check. In other words there is nothing to fix. Their first step in warranty would probably have been the same. Is this a KE or a KF?
Not on an 18 as far as I know and this post about a 2 second drag isn’t quite accurate. The system will indeed hold the car for 2 seconds but releases immediately when driving away.
Sorry if it’s already been said but the new forum seems to work quite nicely. It’s faster than the previous (although it did crash like the old one did when I first opened it - maybe my iPad?). I like the “like” facility and the easy access emojis. The old problem I had with apostrophes being...
