I agree with you, I think you should be allowed to talk to the tech / techs that are going to work on your vehicle when you take it in, instead of saying to a Service manager, or some other person what the problem is with your car and then chinese whisper goes on, so when the tech gets it, he is looking for something different and the problem doesn't get fixed.
Now the one time that I had to take in my Speed 6 was for the keyless system locking, getting it changed to auto locking (for Free), and the fact that I had paid for Wheel locks and there weren't any on the car, I was prepaid to do this myself, but being as I had to get the lock configuration changed, then they could do the wheel locks too, FOR FREE.
The one thing that had un nerved me a little was when they said that my car was the guinee pig for the lock configuration change(shocked) and it took 5 - 6 hours for them to figure it out.
So fingers crossed that I don't have any problems with it.
But I have also asked a couple of times on these forums if anyone knows of the Speed 6 tech service manual, on CD/DVD I don't care, there is alot of stuff I would rather do myself, than have to take back a car to any dealership, that is why I decided to get a name brand vehicle after owning 2 Kia's for so long, and not having any aftermarket support, not even a haynes manual for the fricking things.
I was able to get all the Mitsu Evo workshop manuals from the Evo 4 upto the Evo IX suppliments, which was why I was going to get an Evo.
So I know there is a Mazda Speed 6 workshop manual out there somewhere, Please help a brother out.

Every time that I have taken my MSP or my MS6 in to be serviced, I have spoken to the tech directly. I tell the service manager about my problem, and then I ask to speak to the MS tech directly. They are always happy to let me do so. I always ask for him to work on my car specifically and he has been more than helpful on many occasions. That should not be a problem. If it is, then you are not getting the service that you should, and perhaps you should get it serviced at another dealer.

Over heating
Do any of your MS6 is overheating after shutting off the engine? My MS6 started to turn on the auxiliary fans couple of days ago after having the dealership changed the clutch. I am taking it to the dealership this week to see what is wrong.

There was a recall on the fan controllers for older mazda 6's. Mazda "supposedly" resolved the issue, but the problem keeps occuring in 05's, and 06 Mazda 6's. I wouldn't be surprised if the MS6 uses the exact same part (prone to failure), as the other problematic 6 fan controllers.
Basically if your fan starts cycling on/off/on/off/on/off when the car is turned off, you need to make a dealer visit ASAP. When the fan controller starts going, it can STOP completely, shutting off all fans.
It is perfectly normal if you were romping on the car to have the fans cycle for a "small" amount of time after the car's shut off, if coolant temps are exceeding 200F+. But it shouldn't sit there and sound like a hurricane after you walk away from the car.

Ok I have a very very wierd one for you all.
I went to the oval drag track yestderday night and the car was running like a champ. I had just gotten the CP-E exhaust and the "power loss" flash on the ecu the day before that.
well back on topic! I raced this 1/3 mile oval track on time trials let it cool down while waiting for my first drag, completed that one and let it cool for another 30 or so minutes. Did another race and let it cool for about 15-20 minutes. Raced one more time and at the end of the race when we were coming back on the "cool down" lap the car shut down. I thought I had stalled it so I turned it over with no problems and went on to let it cool for another 10 minutes. The last race I completed the race but again on the "cool down" lap to the pit it shut off in almost exactly the same spot and this time it wouldn't come back on. It would turn over sputter and stop. tried to start it multiple times over a 45 minute period to no joy tried a push start and that didn't work either. 10 minutes after that I decided to have it pushed out in the parking lot and call a tow truck. But when I got over the little hill to the other side I decided to try and pop the clutch one more time and see what that did and VROOM it started back up with no problems at all! Drove all the way, 35 minutes , home and it has been running fine ever since.
Anyone know or have a suggestion on what could have caused this. I thought MAF sensor maby, someone else suggested it might have been my fuel in the fuel line got vaporized from the excessive heat.... but I don't understand why it would take almost an hour to be able to start again..... help me please

Had the same issue...turned out the dealer didn't screw on the gas cap all the way...dealer cleared the cel.
Rainman said:No, not the window switch, but rather the door request switches on the two front handles on the GT model with the keyless ignition. These are the buttons you press to unlock the car without using the key or the remote. They just stopped working last week. Usually when the keycard is in the car, the word "KEY" is illuminated green on the instrument cluster. However, if the keyless ignition is not working properly, the word "KEY" is illuminated in red signalling the driver to have the car checked. Currently, "KEY" has been illuminated in red on my instrument panel since the end of last week. Just haven't had time to take it in yet.

Did you check the battery in your key fob?
