2014 Mazda 3

[xxxjanxxx2]

Anyone here cleans their own M3? If so, what are the brands/products you can suggest for cleaning?

[jcal68]

I'm not sure but I also experience this kind of smell when I get my car flooded.

Try feeling the carpet if its wet specially under the aircon blower. Something may be wrong with the aircon blower drain causing wet carpet. Moisture breeds molds and mildew. So wipe well with a towel before wearing your underwear.

I didn't have the free EWD. Did anyone else got this for free?

Ganun? Walang binigay ang pretty SA?
Ehem. . .dito ata papasok ang charisma. . .
Bawal ang beso-beso kaya EWD na lang. . .(joke 3x)

Hindi kaysa masira muna ang plastic na kabitan bago maputol ang ulo ng LTO screws? Kasi mapuputol ang ulo ng screw sa paghigpit.

Di naman. Sakto lang talaga siya para sa 6.5mm na screws. Pero para safe, i-hand top hanggang dulo na.

Mind you, hindi ko ginamit ang LTO screws both front and back. I have a reason bakit di pwede sa harap kasi di siya aabot sa dulo, unless puputulan mo yun plastic.

None here also. Swerte mo binigyan ka. Pwede patingin ng libreng EWD mo?

Ako. Takot ako sa labas magpalinis lalo na sa mga tabi-tabing car wash.

Puro Microtex lang gamit ko, from shampoo to microfibers lang and tire black.

Nothing fancy ang free EWD. Its the one in blue plastic case beside the jack.
I also installed scuff plates at the doors. Lagi kasi tinatamaan ng shoes.
Hmm. . .I wonder kung I post "please remove shoes before entering" would be better. Tutal Japanese car naman ito. . .

You can try using the LYSOL, spray it on the aircon vent from outside while the aircon is in full blast, this works for my ALTIS.

Any M3 owner here experienced their A/C to smell musty for a couple of seconds after turning it on? I am feeling mildew has formed. Does anyone knows how to confirm this and also how to kill the mildew?

I see. Ganyan din yun nabili kong EWD sa Concorde a few years ago na gamit ko sa Pajero ko, pero nilipat ko na sa M3 ko ngayon at bumili nalang ako ng mas malaking EWD for my Pajero.

May tanong lang ako, anyone experienced na nangamoy goma yun aircon while running?

[jcal68]

Have you tried closing the A/C vent first? The odor might be coming from outside and scooped in by the vent. Just set this in circulate mode so that only about 10% fresh air would come in.

Nice. Sige try ko yan next time. Naka bili na ako puro turtle wax ang brand. How about the headlights may nialalgay ba kayong coating or solution para di mag oxidize yung plastic?

Haha. Ayaw ko din ng beso2x kasi lalake yung SA ko. Yung babae maganda sana kaso walang alam sa mga tanong ko, panay tanong lang sa kasama. Anyway, long story short I didn't get any EWD except the golf umbrella. Not really bad since I got a very big discount after buying my 3rd car.

[aargh]

There will be a manual 1.5L m3 that will be launched in MIAS. Good news.

I hope it has an analog tachometer.

Just want to warn everyone about getting your periodic maintenance in Mazda Alabang. The Yojin3 service is supposed to be totally free but may modus operandi dun (not sure if it is just 1 guy or utos ng management) to add in additional services and make it seem part of the required service. They charged me an extra P2800 for these add ons (break maintenance, cleanings, lubricants etc). Remember everything should be free for the 1st 3 years as long as you come according to schedule. This includes oils and lubricants.

Did they ask you first or pinakita nalang tapos na? I read in the PMS schedule that additives are not included (fuel cleaners, etc.) pero they should have asked first.

PMS for how many KM 'to sir? Will have my 10KM check-up on Sat sa Mazda Alabang also.

[RF02]

nangyari sakin yan NUON sa TOYOTA COMMONWEALTH with our car, yun SA kung ano anong pinagdadagdag na additives na hindi ko naman kailangan like engine flush, windshield washer refill, degreasing and engine detail


bago ako pumirma ilang tanong ako kung may additional pa, sabi wala na. tapos after maintenance daming add ons! aba'y hindi ko binayaran yun add ons. bahala sila sa buhay nila mga abusado. HAHAHA modus ata talaga yan ng casa eh para kumita sila

Reminder to everybody to follow your PMS schedules religiously and diligently. They can waive the Yojin3 if you don't.

[mang_pogs]

I had my 10T km pms 2months ago wla ak binayaran sa alabang casa. Keeping an eye on this on my next service. I'm * 15T km now (m3 just 6months old). Mukang masusulit ko ang yojin for 3yrs hehe.

[jcal68]

Texted my pretty Mazda Alabang SA. Informed her that many customers are getting irritated of this development. She did not know and would inform the management of our concern.

[aRTie]

thanks Jcal68 for the comment regarding maintenance of soul red. gusto ko lang i-gauge gaano kalaking effort since i maintain my own cars.

Check nyo rin mga sir kung tamang oil ginagamit during PMS. It should be Shell Ultra fully synthetic (Gray).
Yung 6 months pms ko, semi-synthetic lang nilagay sakin, Alabang din. After nun, binantayan ko na lagi.

It was roughly 1.5 years ago, didn't know na may ganitong cases pa pala ngayon

Sabi sa akin " 1st time niyo sir? Eto yung mga kailangan gawin." Then wrote out all these things on the job order and the total cost. I protested na Diba dapat free lahat yan and he said no may bayad po sir. I asked "are these not optional?" Ang Sagot. " sir required po yan". At that point inisip ko na crap may hidden charges pala yung Yojin3. So nag Ok na ako and started researching all the marketing pronouncements online. They all said it is all free. So. Inireklamo ko later and dun lang nila sinabi additional lang yun to the Yojin3. Pero they were all good daw for the car and part of their usual service. (Break cleaners etc.). Hinayaan ko nalang because ginawa na nila but told them. I never asked for it and just wNt the standard yojin 3 maintenance. When I spoke to my dealer Sabi nila iregular daw yun cuz mazda pays them for all our service. That was for my 10 k 6 month maintenance.
