Aight thnx man..something to look into..i'll check them out..
a VW thing for sure. i've noticed a large amount of black "soot" around the exhaust tip, so I figured it could be a coolant sensor/running rich problem.
btw, great signature
The soot is a "feature" of the direct injection. Take a looksie: http://bznotes.wordpress.com/2007/01/14/soot-emissions-from-gasoline-direct-injectin-gdi-engines/
(They talk about regulating the output using filters)
The DI makes almost as much particulate as a diesel engine!
Oh, no issues here.
Im getting 24 MPG under LA rush hour traffic and a lead foot
to comment on fourthmeal's last post, the point of this thread is not to get an answer to my specific problems. instead, it is to see what everyone has had problems with.
mainly, if everyone seems to be having similar problems, it may be brought up to mazda to see if a general update/recall may be done to remedy the problem.
the last thing i mean to do is (deadhorse. ha, i love these icons.
