Engine Failure The only problem I've had is a Turbo being replaced at 38,000 miles, it smoked for the last 6,000 miles,(Wondering if this caused problems?) the dealer changed the oil to 5w-40 for that time, until they finally replaced the turbo this last tuesday. Also seems there is a lot of...

It's a 2007 MS3, there replacing the turbo tomorrow, and if there is a fix for the PCV system, they should recall the car, and fix it. 5w-40 oil is better, I am just tired of siiting at a light and seeing smoke come out of it.

I haven't read the above there replacing my turbo at 38,000 the warrany covers 3 years or 36,000 mile, the bandaid they are using at the dealerships is changing the oil to 5w-40 Mobil 1 syn. which is better then the stock 5w-30 which is simi syn..

Well It looks like they have finally gave us more tires then the stock 215/45-18 bridgestone tires in 07. So what too choose now? They seem to wear the same on these machines, I've had the orginals and SPT's so far with 14,000 miles average on both. What about the 2010 220/40-18 I believe, will...

93 octane Don't you guys know how to mix racing fuel?

Smoking MS3, CX=7 MS6 Seems like a recall to me, mine smoking with stock exhaust system and recall 4807H has something to do with the PCM, and exhaust emissions...also ther is another recall 4907H for a fuel trim problem.

Well I've got 22,700 miles on my 2007 MS3 and noticed that it does smoke when I push on it hard and not up to 2300 rpm. And it is blue smoke, not black or white, this car was made in May 07, anybody know what turbo was in it? I have the 100,000 mile warranty on this car, cause the turbo is only...

I was told the Nero is a good tire today when crusing to all the different tire stores here locally, most don't carry the stock 215/45/18 tire, you might want to look at the Yokohama 520 it has 60,000 mile warranty and 225/40/18 and 225/45/18 sizes...

Has anybody tried these tires? They have a 60,000 mile warranty from discount tire directs website. Willing to trade some speed for some mileage, was wondering if this might be a good choice?

What tires are you going to buy, when the times approaches, I know I don't want the bridgestone's again, if I was racing SCCA, then maybe the soft bridgestones, however I'm not racing, and over 100 mph on the surface roads in Cali, well you won't have a car if caught. The Kuhmo's seem to be a...

What size tires fit without any modifications, stock wheels and different size tires? 225/40/18 or 225/45/18 will these work?

I guess I wore them out in the canyons, anyway what about a 225/40/18? Will these fit and clear the wells? What other tire options for the stock wheels?

Are there any better tires out there that last a little longer?

Oil Filter K&N Makes a replacement filter for the stock that works great in my friend EVO 9. I am thinking on going to that since my last oil change at the dealership was mazda motor oil 5w 30. and changing to mobile one or syntec.
