What have you done to your Mazda6 today?

[boost2dms6]

I mean if everyone did the same thing to their car it would get boring.. I've always been a fan of going against the grain when it comes to life or cars.. I like it myself and to me it looks pretty badass.. All I need are some of those LED taillights..

I'd jump on the tail lights and even pay full price if the housing was black and there was no yellow hue to the turn signals... lol. I think they would look sweet on titanium grey though.

Best mod for the money, PG TIP ($100) and fairly easy to install. That coupled with my HKS ignition, it's much more responsive, turbo starts spooling at 1600 vs 2300.

very bad on a stock rod setup. you will need a tuner to prevent you from blowing up.

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?

 

[amillman2]

my extended warranty i bought with the car covers the turbo AND TMIC for 7 years.. only $1,400 warranty.. wellllll worth it.

 

[Drover]

Just called Mazda USA and he brought me right to there website saying that turbo is covered under powertrain no questions asked. What a pack of s***, Canada says 2009 and newer its covered, never said 2007 and older its not and yet they won't cover it.

 

[amillman2]

show them what the USA site says.. not that it matters in Canada but thats still messed up man... what kinda repair costs are you lookin at?

How's that? Blowing up due to what?

 

[tunersteve]

Take your car over the border and have it looked at.
