Mr. Drover,
I have been speaking with Mazda Canada and in reviewing your file they have denied the repair to the turbo. They are clear when it comes to administrating warranty period of 3 years or 80,000 km’s and unfortunately your repair is outside of those guidelines as only powertrain warranty is remaining. There have been repairs to your vehicle where the turbo has been mentioned however the result was not the turbo. I am informed by technical support that had this turbo failed one of two items would have been present: (1) a diagnostic code or (2) blue smoke exiting the vehicle through the exhaust. Neither of these was present at any of these previous repairs. The seal around the turbo failed requiring the part replacement and as I have been informed it (the turbo) is either working or it is not with no grey area. In your investigation with Mazda Canada if they decide another course of action Penney Mazda will be only to glad to comply.
My dealerships response to my turbo issue, oh boy. Has anyone had their turbo replaced under powertrain warranty? I'd love to have a copy of someones work order showing this..
Should throw a code? Wouldn't the only code it throw if a oxygen sensor plugged up?
