Mas better for ATs ang Excel. Pero ok na rin ang Gold.

1.5 sayo sir? Yung Motolite gold para lang yata sa 1.5? May iba yatang Motolite for the 2.0 because of the istop?

Care to share the problem with your tranny & why they replaced it? Thanks!

Hi Sir, question po sino po nakapag pa repaint na for soul red? I had an accident which needs repaint po and mukang hindi ganun kadali gayahin yung soul red. Pa suggest naman po ng paint shops. Thanks in advance.

Mazda GH's accredited paint shop is among those.

Hello tsikoteers!
Anybody here can confirm if the side mirror of the 2017 Mazda 3 1.5V HB is manually folded in? Can't find any switch for an electronic/automatic fold-in. I'm scared to fold it manually since it's really tough/hard.
Thanks guys!

Hi everyone, hope everyone's having a great holiday season.
Wanted to ask if anyone knows what to do re the infotainment system automatically shutting down after about a minute from starting the engine?
If I restart the infotainment system by pressing the 3-button reset method, it would reboot and restart like normal, but will shut down again after a minute.
If I let it stay off after it shuts down, the radio will sometimes start up randomly once i-stop kicks in, but then the radio will disappear again after a few seconds (screen stays blank the whole time when the radio pops in and out).
Turning the engine off and restarting will make it boot up again but then it'll shut down again after a while.

Have a 2015 Mazda 3 2.0R sedan. Casa time? =(

Soul Red here. Had my rear left door panel repainted at Mazda Alabang about a year ago...got charged 8.5K...paid 1.5K as participation, if I remember correctly...insurance reimbursed me for the initial assessment fee that the casa charged (can't remember how much that was though).
Took them 5 days to complete the initial repaint...had to go back in due to imperfections (bubbling) near the door handle...so took another 3 days after that. I don't think the paint job was done in-house either though.
Do make sure you check the plastic panels around the windows when you get the car back though...mine were reattached improperly and were left kinda loose.

I left my 3 on the garage for 12 days. After starting the car this morning and releasing the brake going reverse i heard a loud noise (sounded like i hit a large metal under my car). I dont know if it was coming from the brake or the transmission. Happened only once and the car drives perfectly. Anyone experienced this?

Must be the parking brake getting locked with the brake disks due to corrosion from the humid weather last week. Sometimes that happens.

If you're leaving your car for a long while, park on a level surface & leave the e-brake off. It's prone to seizing & corrosion. That may have caused that sound.

Thanks sir yatta and sir travs.
Do i have to replace the brake disc?

Nah. You'll be fine. On another note....Rusted rotors can sometimes create clunks, noises & even make your brakes feel like your rotors' run-out are way off....but after awhile, once the corrosion is rubbed off, everything will be back to normal.
