hello there. i am new to the sight. I have a 2003 p5 with 7500 miles. At 3540 miles I had excessive crank shaft noise on start up and the dealer replaced the engine. Now with 7500 miles on it the engine is just as bad as the first engine. I am returning to see the tech rep for mazda next week.
Has anyone else have the same problem. Perhaps a solution. I do realise that there is extra noise due to emmission butterfly valves while cold. That I can live with. I just tell people its a diesel!!!!
