Well mazda just called said $3400 n tax to replace turbo not covered under warranty, warranty expired on june 4th ffs and said not covered under powertrain.
They're trying to take the easy way out. Check your owner's manual for description of warranty coverage.
Bothered to try another dealer other than the one that gave you the quote?
Anyone got a copy of this stating that its covered??? or it should be?
Like the car has 40900km on it, never seen snow or any abuse.

yeah it's in a rear... i've had it for a while now, it all started when they replaced an axle back in march or april, they've had me replace a strut, and rear rotors and the noise still occurs
its a rotational clunk when brakes are applied
I'd be on the phone with Mazda Canada CS and really hammer the point home that you know there's a TSB out for this and they're not willing to help.
Wow, hate to hear that drover! Steve's right, i jsut read throught the website too, and the Powertrain for 09 and newer vehicles DOES include Turbo. But no idea if this is or isnt applicable to older gen cars like our MS6. So which warranty expired in july? bumper to bumper, powertrain, eh?
well hate to say it, but that very well could be rear axle related, improper install perhaps.
I had a rotational clunk, but it was due to badly turned rotors, which caused the pads to groove and clunk consistantly.
Hey guys...where's you find this...I NEED a link for a coworker.
Going outside now to put on the Corksport Power Series Intake.. I should have some pics and maybe a video up within the next couple of hours..
I also ordered some Carbon Fiber emblem inserts for the trunk emblem to conceal it more, and give me a full debadged look. They were only $15 on ebay.
