Anyone else have issues with their CX-9 with excessive exhaust smoke and water dripping while worming up engine? Lately mines has been emitting lot of white smoke and water droplets from both tail pipes while worming up the engine in the morning. Temps at night time have been around -10 degrees...

I've got 2000 Protege LX 1.6L with basically no aftermarket parts. In the past year it's started burning oil pretty fast, and I've noticed there is a black, oily buildup that accumulates on the rear bumper and rear trunk panel after a few days of driving. There's no visible smoke from the...

Like a lot of us on here, I've been having the blue smoke on start up and it stops after about/around 30 seconds. I started with compression and leak down test and both were flawless. I replaced the OEM stem seals with Viton stem seals and triple checked everything went on perfect. I didn't mix...

Pretty much says it all. Turbo replaced under warranty due to smoking at idle. They also replaced the breathing system w/new valve cover, with the hopes of that fixing the smoking turbo, first. Now it's consuming about a quart per 1000 miles. I have to go in to talk to them today. They had...

I know I know, this had been addressed many times but I'm really on the fence for what's wrong with this thing and seeking insight or ideas I haven't tried to nail down the actual problem. The Car: 2003 Protege5 Wagon, 170k miles, manual trans, no mods As far as I can tell original engine and...

Has anyone tinted or smoked their tail lights yet on their CX-5? Please post pics if you can and tell us what you used to tint the taillights! Happy New Year Mazdas247!

My 2002 P5 is sick. - Loses about 1/2 Quart of oil every day, or every 40 miles. (lots of oil going somewhere) - Power wanes above 3500 rpm, you can feel very small waves of power/lack-of-power as it climbs through 4-5-6k rpm. - Fuel Economy is fine, about 28-30 mpg - Whisper of black smoke in...

Another seafoam question... I've searched the threads on here and decided that I'd rather do my seafoam through the PCV valve rather than suck it through the brake booster line and risk damaging the check valve in the line. At this point, I've pretty much decided that is the route I'm going to...

If I sit at an idle for more then a minute after the cars warm then it starts pouring white smoke out, only until I decide to get on it or drive away, then clean and strong again! im stumped, ive read a lot about bad turbo seals, well theres no oil in my hot pipe going to the intercooler, the...

i just installed turboxs dp and test pie with an hks exhaust, and it started to smoke a little bit with the first start i know its cold out but it looks a little heavy for condensation, could it be the new pipes and gaskets setting in? the car drives no different and sounds fine and can hear the...

Not sure what, but something really bad went wrong with our Mazda3 yesterday. We had just loaded up to go to a B-Day party and were going up a moderately steep hill about one block from our place, and there was a popping sound. The car seemed to lose some power and when I looked in the rear...

I looked around for solutions and explanations and havent really found anything directly relater so hopefully someone knows whats going on. My msp has 45000 miles, aftermarket exhaust and a few other little things. I burn oil, once a week i add about a quart. Ill check the dipstick and one day...

Hi to everyone on the forum! It was back in about 1998 that I rented an MPV to take five adults and our luggage on a 1200 mile weekend trip to Southern California. I wasn't expecting much given the load she was carrying, but that MPV surprised me by hauling us all up and down the grapevine...

I just took my 2010 MS3 in for its first service at 3500k miles. When I got it back and drove to work I noticed it seems to blow smoke when I get on it and the turbo kicks in. Never noticed that before. I had them change the oil/filter/rotate tires/etc, but nothing special except I had them...

2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3 / Milage 30,000 / I've had light blue whitish smoke coming from my turbo for a while now, only when it idles. I've ready many threads stating its the PCV valve or its Blown turbo gaskets. I dont want to go out and get an oil catch can to fix the PCV valve problem if i need to...

I had my windows tinted by the same guy who did these vinyls. The taillight housings are smoked and so are the front parking markers. Fogs done with yellow vinyl. Just felt like showin' off. (2thumbs) Who else has this done to their car, am I still one of the few?

So my girlfriend and I are heading down to vegas in August, which will be around a 5000 km round trip. We are taking my P5 with 140,000 km on it, and it has not been behaving lately. Every time I start it in the morning, it puffs out a dense cloud of black smoke. It seems worse on cold...

Tunersteve found some great information on this and has shared with the Ms6 people and encouraged me to share it with the MS3 group so here is a link to the Official 'Smoking Turbo' response from Mazda
