Yay Mazda Admits

[jhowey]

Im at work and just recieved an email in regards to the #4 engine mount repair procedure from Mazda. It doesnt have a tsb number or a recall number or an ssp # but there is info now at the dealers regarding the #4 mount, it is a bolt issue that may only have one washer, and those require the two washer bolt, so hopefully this will be the end of hearing about engines dropping. YAY!!

I know it's probably against the rules and if so, I'll understand. But could you cut and paste a part of that email and post it? This is very good news for all ms3 owners!

Right, I second posting a copy of the email, if you don't mind. It would help to ease my anxiety...

LOL I can not find the email, but I do have the whole thing, repair procedure printed out right in front of me, I will answer questions; however I dont think I can fax or send this document off until Mazda makes it official, but this shows there is intent anyways

 

[jhowey]

Found the email, Talked to service manager and it is not official yet, but I will let everyone know as soon as it becomes official.

Thanks for the update, we'll be waiting with bated breath.

yeah oops. The MS3 engine kinda sorta falls out (one motor mount just decides to unbolt itself)

Lol this sucks I want them to make it a tsb or something because my service manager wont let the techs do the repair on my car yet, untill Mazda actually releases that information.

 

[major error]

guh... That sucks

Is this just limited to the MS3?
I thought I saw someone recently saying the Mz3 had some motor mount issues too...

 

[jhowey]

Yeah they do, it is the top tranny mount, 2.3l motor is a b32t-39-060b and the 2.0l is a bp4s-39-060-e, but they wont fix it until it breaks unfotrunatly, or if it is leaking they sometimes replace it.

 

[Jasonstiller]

So any more word on this? Are we stuck until we fix it ourselves or it snaps by itself?
